I feel that the story Taming of the Shrew is a bit wild
because of just how the induction starts off. The best quote for me from the
induction would be "O monstrous beast, how like a swine he lies! Grim
death, how foul and loathsome is thine image! Sirs, I will practice on this
drunken man." This is the Lord talking about how Sly is a drunk and seeing
him passed out like a pig is an unpleasing sight. But, we all know people like
Sly every single community has that town drunk that is a burden and drinks until
they are pissy drunk, vomiting, and passed out. I think that all this prank
would do in the end is do one or two things make his drinking problem worse. I
feel this way because this is going to hurt his feelings and when you are hurt
and you might result to drinking. Yet it can also be beneficial and stop him
from drinking because of the embarrassment that he get because of being drunk
and really believing that someone can wake up after fifteen years. It is crazy
because how can go from being a bum to a king and that is really going to mess
him up. Then you cannot even kiss your wife that is another sign or something
strange. I understand having no other sexual activity but just a kiss? A kiss
can only kill you from passing something like an illness. It is like this Sly at first did have his doubts but if you wake up and everyone is telling you the same thing and then you have been asleep fifteen years even though in their days that was impossible and it is still almost impossible to happen in today with our modern medicine so maybe you can get tricked now but it should not have happened back then.
