Question

im having trouble with my taming of the shrew essay is there any way you can get me on the right path? this is my claim
Argue whether comedic devices work to develop the plot in The Taming of the Shrew.

The Taming of the Shrew is a cute Romantic comedy play. If there were no comedic devices in this story, The Taming of the Shrew would just be romantic story with a unhappy ending. Nobody likes a romantic comedy that ends bad

Answer 1

I think you need to focus more on how the comedy helps to develop the plot. By stating "nobody likes a romantic comedy that ends bad," you are stating your opinion, but you are not giving any information as to how the comedy really helps to advance the plot of the romantic comedy. What does the comedy offer to The Taming of the Shrew to make the plot reveal itself??

Answer 2

it helps a somewhat tragic story feel more light hatred and brings a very controversial subject up throughout the play?... ugh im not having a good time with this paper

Answer 3

Is this the one where they use a tinker to be a part of a prank??

Answer 4

If it is...I think it is..Anyways

You could right about how the comedic devices work to portray the overall theme of a prank. What is a play about a prank without humor? Does that help any??

Answer 5

The humor kind of reminds the viewer that they are playing a prank

Answer 6

comedic devices such as like imagery foil and so forth?

Answer 7
