1. Pertruchio "tames" Kate by always having a witty answer to her disputes and slanders against him. He calmly tells Kate that she is the opposite of what everyone thinks of her, that she is kind, beautiful, and well-mannered. He also comes on as a strong man who will put up with no nonsense and defines her role to him as one to birth his child.
2. Katherine most likely acts out wildly to her father trying to dispute anything Pertruchio is trying to say, but Pertruchio probably talks without much room for her voice to be heard that she just becomes silently enraged with anger. Katherine probably also tries to respond to her father and tell him the truth but Pertruchio forces her fathers hand and acts too quickly for Kate. In the scene where Pertruchio tells Kate to kiss him she probably was trying to escape and get away, but Pertruchio most likely forced himself upon her and the two walked off in different directions.
3. a)Tthe bickering back and forth between Kate and Petruchio in their battle of wits.
b) The dimwitted servant who when told to knock on the door couldn't comprehend and thought he meant to knock (beat) his master.
c) The Lord playing a prank on Sly, the drunkard.
d) The man who dresses up as a woman in order to play the role of Sly's pretend wife, to play the joke on him.
4. Proverbs 26:24-26
Whoever hates disguises himself with his lips and harbors deceit in his heart; when he speaks graciously, believe him not, for there are seven abominations in his heart; though his hatred be covered with deception, his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
