A Cold Heart


 
The Taming of the Shrew has multiple themes, but there is one that really stands out. This theme is, a lady with a cold heart and a closed mind opens up when a man comes in to lend her his warmth. Kate hates everything and everyone besides herself; up until Petruchio comes in to tame her. She hits, screams, calls people nasty names, and much more; Petruchio at first treats Kate just like how she treats everyone else. She soon realizes that she does not like to be treated that way, and her ice cold heart starts melting. She sees that it does not feel good to be treated that way and begins to change for the better and becomes a nicer person. She sees herself through another person’s eyes and she didn’t like what she saw. The theme of this is similar to one of the themes of Brave. Agatha’s mother, the queen, has closed mind to the fact that her daughter will marry one of the first sons of one of the other three clans. Throughout the movie, while she is a bear, she sees that her daughter is unique and in the end does not make her marry one of the sons.
