Benedick notices that mostly everyone in the household tries to speak in a supercilious way, so they seem to have a higher rank that they actually have. In The Taming of the Shrew Bianca cannot marry until her elder sister finds a husband, and Katherine does not want to marry anyone. However, both of them have to accept themselves as a part of upper middle class. .
Another similarity in both plays, so called "taming animals", is about how women just as animals must be tamed. When Beatrice claims that she will tame her "wild heart" to Benedick, this refers to the old tradition of taming falcons. Same as in "The Taming of the Shrew" when Petruccio says he will tame Katherine as a falcon as well. Last but not least, another distinct similarity in both plays is featuring the act of public shaming. Hero is abused at her wedding ceremony and is performed as a cheater in front of everyone, when in "The Taming of the Shrew" Petruccio often makes fun of Katherine in front of people and even shows his disrespect when coming to his own wedding dressed as a clown, which was done with a purpose to humiliate Katherine. Both "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Much Ado About Nothing" show remarkably similar heroes and plots to illustrate the concept of convention. Social convention and harmony undermine isolation, but at the same time generate happiness and individual personality. Katherine-Petruccio and Beatrice Benedick couples show how the balance between two can be achieved, when Bianca-Lucention and Hero-Claudio couples are not able to do so. Both of the plays end with the conclusion that the natural spark of conflict and lust on one side and convention on the other are extremes that should be avoided in any relasionships as a whole. .
Katherine, of "The Taming of the Shrew", and Beatrice, of "Much Ado About Nothing", are very similar to each other. Both are depressed and overwhelmed with one-sided love.
