The sometimes-omitted "induction" features a drunken beggar, Christopher Sly, being dressed in a rich man's clothes and presented with the play. At the end of this play, the title character is compared to a rich widow, Hortensio's new wife, and her own sister. That sister, more beautiful and desirable than her elder sister, is Bianca, and her suitors are Lucentio, the old Gremio, and initially Hortensio, but she cannot be married until her older sister, the title character, is mar- ried. These two women are the daughters of a wealthy man from Padua, Baptista Minola. Name this Shakespearean comedy in which Petruchio performs the titular action on his wife Katharina.
