: Need help with how the three plots are interlinked from the induction upto but not including scene 4. Thanks!!!
I can't give you much but the first thing that springs to mind is the use of disguise: Sly is transformed into a lord, Bartholomew the page is disguised as his wife. In the play proper Tranio is dressed as his master and Lucentio and Hortensio both take on disguises as schoolmasters in order to win Bianca. I'm not sure how far you need to go into the play but later on Tranio (disguised as Lucentio) persuades a pedant to pretend to be his father Vincentio in order to secure a dowry. I don't know whether you could argue that Petruchio is also donning a disguise, albeit more subtle than simply exchanging one set of clothes for another, in order to 'tame' Kate.
Hope this helps a little.
