In English class we are reading Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. I actually enjoy and understand the book. My favorite character so far is Katharina. Katharina is the daughter of Baptista and the older sister of Bianca. Baptista is trying to find a husband for Katharina because if she doesn't get married then Bianca can't get married. A lot of the men don't want to marry Katharina because of how slick her mouth is and how independent she is.
Katharina is very outspoken and independent, which is why she is my favorite character. Unlike many of the other women at the time, Katharina actually has an opinion and actually knows what she wants. She does not want anyone to tell her what to. She doesn't take any nonsense from anyone and I admire her for that. It is too bad that there weren't more women like Katharina at the time maybe not as rude as her, but definitely as confident and outspoken.
She does know what she wants, but is she able to get it?
