Detailed explanation-1: -The Taming of the Shrew, both a popular comedy and the iconic dramatization of the battle of the sexes, is a play of contradictions without any easy answers. An audience favorite, it defies the common definition of comedy: a play that ends happily with the main characters dancing at their wedding.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Taming of the Shrew is a problem play in terms of the comedic genre. It is labelled as a comedy and true to the genre is about ordinary people (unlike tragedy which focuses on kings and nobles).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Taming of the Shrew has been described as a romantic comedy – and also as an anti-romantic comedy. It ends with weddings, as a romantic comedy should, but everyone’s road to the altar is marked by tricks, lies and brute force. The contrast between the main couples is a complex one.
