Act 5 Flashcards
What quote suggest Gremio as the buffoon (or at least the last to be clued in to the situation)?
(After everyone has revealed their true identities to ne another) “I wonder Cambio comes not all this while”
(He also later states that he “knows” Tranio to be”the signor Lucentio”, though we all know differently, making him seem foolish)
How is the interaction between the Pedant and Vincentio directed to suggest inversion?
the pedant is looking down on Vincentio out of a window, suggesting superiority, though this is inversion as the Pedant is impersonating Vincentio, his is actually a much more socially reputable character than the Pedant and would have had a much higher social status.
What is one quote that shows the pedant has become over confident in his role, and could be considered a sexual innuendo?
“(Art thou his father) Ay , so his mother says, if I believe her”
Could be an innuendo as he is referencing MAKING A BABY with VINCENTIO’s WIFE
Name two ways that the Pedant mirrors Sly?
he becomes over confident in his role, coming of as arrogant (Thou liest! His father is come from Mantua, and here looking out at this window)
He makes sexual and inappropriate comments (“(Art thou his father) Ay , so his mother says, if I believe her”)
how does Biondello once again portray himself as a comic buffoon?
He has been told to treat the Pedant as the real Vincentio, so pretends to not recognise Vincentio (his master). He does this despite nearly everyone recognising who the real Vincentio is (i.e. he is the last to be clued in, so makes a buffoon of himself)
When pretending Vincentio is an impersonator, what do Tranio and Biondello call him? How does this differ from his usual way of being addressed?
He is called a “madman”
He is actually a respectable, elderly gentleman
How does Vincentio show confusion ?
When Tranio is shown dressed as and impersonating lucentio, Vincentio assumes that Tranio has killed his son - “ Oh he hath murdered his master!”
How does Grumio provide elements of Bathos and folly after the big argument between Vincentio and the Pedant?
He seems disinterested, and simply refers to the feast—
“Out of hope of all but my share of the feast”
This seems like an anticlimax next to the heightened tension in the argument, and suggests buffoon-like elements such as gluttony.
What does Petruchio force Kate to do in THe MIddLe of The StreEt?
Smoochy smoochy kissy time
How does Petruchio cajole Kate into kissing him?
He threatens to force her back to his home (where she would have no food, clothes, sleep or company)
