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.” This man’s innuendo “what, with my tongue in your tail?” leads a figurative “wildcat” to strike him. This man dismisses bespoke garments from a tailor and haberdasher and insists that the sun is the moon after he arrives late to his own wedding. This “mad-brained bridegroom,” who comes to “wive it wealthily,” wins a bet by calling his wife, who gives an equivocal speech about duty to husbands. For 10 points, what man from Verona frees Padua’s suitors to court Bianca by wedding Baptista’s older daughter Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew? ■END■
