Petruccio uses the word shrew as a replacement for Kate’s name in order to fit her into the cultural expectations of women at the time. Though the word shrew appears in the title of the play‚ the word itself only appears a handful of times in characters’ lines. Rather than appearing as an alternative name for Katherine‚ it usually occurs when someone refers to Katherine’s attitude or actions as “shrewd” (1.1.174).

There is actually lots of irony in this story. The key piece is that the two characters in this story hate each other. They want each other dead and in the end‚ both of them end up dieing. Irony is the best thing to have in stories in my opinion. They make it interesting and funny so at the end you can say “ha sucks doesn’t it”.

In The Importance of Being Earnest‚ the pun‚ widely considered to be the lowest form of verbal wit‚ is rarely just a play on words. The title‚ - The Importance of Being Earnest‚- insinuates the importance of being honest and truthful‚ while playing on the male name‚ Ernest. The pun in the title is a case in point. The earnest/Ernest joke strikes at the very heart of Victorian notions of respectability and duty. Gwendolen
