Ewohna jumped to his feet and the guard’s blades met the ground. Ewohna left a gash on the guard’s arm. He turned furiously and slashed at Ewohna’s chest—again.

The Taming of a Shrew is the alternate ending for The Taming of the Shrew. They both have similar concepts‚ but we find the major difference in Kate’s speech at the end. The ending of both plays bring about a satisfying feeling that a shrew‚ even so bad as Kate‚ could be tamed. She realises the faults of her ways and goes on to explain‚ differently in both‚ why women should be tamed.

She slowed to an awkward walk-jog behind the shack‚ whenever she was out of the professor’s line of sight‚ but even that wasn’t enough to heal the stitch in her side. It wasn’t that she was obese‚ because she wasn’t‚ but she certainly had some pudge that made the whole task arduous.
