Petruchio plans to lie and deceive Katherine. He will compliment Katherine when she is acting ill-tempered and not show signs of his displeasure with her. Petruchio is diligent with his plan and keeps sweet-talking her. Petruchio says, .
You lie, in faith, for you are called plain Kate, .
and bonny Kate, and sometimes Kate the curst. .
But Kate, the prettiest Kate in Christendom, .
Kate of Kate Hall, my super dainty Kate .
The courtship between Katherine and Petruchio continues in a very strange manner. Katherine is loud and angry and shows Petruchio just how she earned the nickname "Katherine the Curst" and why she is called a "Shrew". Petruchio continues to shower her with sweetness and charm. He is very suave as he makes believe he is in love with her. Katherine says, .
Asses are made to bear and so are you. .
Petruchio responded calmly by saying, .
Women are made to bear and so are you. .
At another time when Katherine was being very difficult and loud, Petruchio says: "Twas told me you were rough, and coy, and sullen, .
And now I find report a very liar. .
For thou art pleasant, gamesome, passing courteous. .
Petruchio continues to play the role of an understanding, generous suitor to Katherine. He puts on an act in front of Katherine's father so that her father believes that Katherine only acts angry and unhappy about their relationship in public and that in private, she is fond and loving. Petruchio says to Katherine's father, .
Be patient, gentlemen. I choose her for myself.
If she and I be pleased, what's that to you?.
"Tis bargained "twixt us twain, being alone,.
That she shall still be curst in company.
I tell you, "tis incredible to believe.
How much she loves me. O, the kindest Kate!.
She hung about my neck, and kiss on kiss.
She vied so fast, protesting oath on oath,.
That in a twink she won me to her love.
Petruchio informs Katherine and her father that he is going to buy Katherine jewelry and fine things for their wedding day as though they have the perfect relationship.
