The Taming of the Shrew is a satire by William Shakespeare, accepted to have been composed somewhere in the range of 1590 and 1592. The play starts with an outlining gadget, frequently alluded to as the enlistment, wherein a wicked aristocrat deceives a tanked tinker named Christopher Sly into accepting he is an aristocrat himself. The aristocrat then has the play performed for Sly's redirection. The fundamental plot portrays the romance of Petruchio and Katherina, the willful, resolved wench. At first, Katherina is a reluctant member of the relationship; nonetheless, Petruchio restrains her with different mental and actual tortures, like holding her back from eating and drinking, until she turns into an attractive, agreeable, and respectful lady for him to marry. The subplot highlights a rivalry between the admirers of Katherina's more youthful sister, Bianca, who is viewed as the ideal lady. Whether or not the play is sexist has turned into the subject of significant contention, especially among current researchers, crowds, and perusers. The Taming of the Shrew has been adjusted various times for stage, screen, drama, artful dance, and melodic theater. The most renowned transformations are Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate; McLintock, a 1963 American Western satire film, featuring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara; and the 1967 film of the play, featuring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The 1999 secondary school satire film 10 Things I Hate About You, and the 2003 lighthearted comedy Deliver Us from Eva are likewise inexactly inspired by the play.
