- 中文名: 驯悍记
- 作者: William Shakespeare
- 发售日: 1623
The main plot depicts the courtship of Petruchio and Katherina, the headstrong, obdurate shrew. Initially, Katherina is an unwilling participant in the relationship; however, Petruchio "tames" her with various psychological and physical torments, such as keeping her from eating and drinking, until she becomes a desirable, compliant, and obedient bride. The subplot features a competition between the suitors of Katherina's younger sister, Bianca, who is seen as the "ideal" woman. The question of whether the play is misogynistic has become the subject of considerable controversy.

好复杂的架构。三层的剧中剧中剧，对应莎士比亚的驯悍记本身→斯赖的白日梦→斯赖观看的剧团戏剧。原本我不太能理解凯瑟丽娜+彼特鲁乔线的用意（难道是想表达喜剧内核是悲剧？），结尾在第三层的凯瑟丽娜应彼特鲁乔的要求下道出“妻子本分”后戛然而止，令戏中戏跳过第二层叙事结构，打破边界直面观众，反倒是有了不错的余韵（类似于EVA的真心为你？）。莎翁大概想借此暗讽第二层结构的斯赖的白日梦吧，不过观感上还是有一点异样感。// 情节上可太熟悉了，男扮女装、主仆交换、冒名顶替、综艺节目式的人生置换等要素大杂烩的求婚闹剧，又是一部养活影视剧半壁江山的戏剧原型。不得不感叹一句，千百年前的希腊人和莎士比亚早已把世间的一切情节与冲突都写尽了。
