Question

This character recalls hearing “the sea, puffed up with winds, / Rage like an angry boar chafèd with sweat” and boasts that “extreme gusts will blow out fire and all.” This man vows that his “haggard” “must not be full-gorged” with meat in a conceit about falconry that codified the saying “kill with kindness.” (10[1])This man’s innuendo “what, with my tongue in your tail?” leads a figurative “wildcat” to strike him. (10[1])This man dismisses (-5[1])bespoke garments from a tailor and haberdasher and insists that the sun is the moon after he arrives late (10[1])to his own wedding. This “mad-brained (10[1])bridegroom,” (-5[1])who (-5[1])comes to “wive it wealthily,” (10[1])wins a bet by calling his wife, who gives an (-5[1])equivocal (10[1])speech about (10[1])duty to husbands. For 10 points, what man (10[1])from Verona frees Padua’s suitors (-5[1])to court Bianca by (10[1])wedding Baptista’s (10[1])older daughter Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew?
