Hegemony In The Taming Of Shrew

In the past men took of control over women in the Taming of Shrew we see a women out of society norms. Katherina was a women before her time questioning all men and having her only voice. Making her something to be challenge by all men. Based on my observation hegemony the act of having dominance, power over someone that they would do anything out of the norms. Because Lucentio and Hortensio’s wife had no fear or respect over them they had no hegemonic authority. On the hand since Petruchio and Katherina had different conflict such as Petruchio telling Katherina that moon is sun this argument show the hegemony in Katherina later be submission showing fear authority which made her change her whole views and agree with Petruchio saying
moon is the sun. Petruchio see his power he had over Katherina he change his statement “Nay then you lie it is the blessed Sun”. The relations the theatre perspective with hegemony in the past is that everyone in Padua knew that Katherina was a shrew that would have never change the fact she told Petruchio that she was shrew show that she was not afraid of the past on like Sethe whose past drove her insane.
