Loyalty and Betrayal

Filed under: Uncategorized — Ms.M @ 1:58 pm

The title of our unit is Loyalty and Betrayal. In this unit we're reading Taming of the Shrew. Explain how loyalty plays a part in this play. Do you think Kate is loyal? To whom is she loyal? Is Petruchio loyal to Kate? Why or why not? Who is being betrayed?

I want to see some real thought with this one!
