In The Taming of the Shrew, Gremio proposes "to cart her[the shrew, Katherina] rather"(1.1.55). And he, the old citizen of Padua and the senior of the society, urges her father to "make her bear the penance of her tongue".(1.1.89) Was the shrew punished with those ways? Critics frequently asserted that Kate and Petruchio mutually attracted at their first meeting and that she wasn't forced into submission to him. But the records about the lives of the sixteenth and seventeenth century England report the cruel female punishing instruments like as the cucking stools and the scolds' bridles. The cucking stool, a chair-like apparatus is often mounted on 'a cart' in order that the offender could be drawn through the streets arid publicly displayed on the way to her ducking into water. The scold's bridle used as a punishment for women who verbally resisted to challenge the male rule, the scolds or shrews. It is a iron bridle which locks around the scolding woman's head and face, and inside of it has a metal piece to press her tongue down. Both instruments were devised primarily as shaming devices and used for suppressing women's speech. In Shrew the marriage rite in church brings the bride Katherina to shame, and the bridal tour to the country house bridles her tongue. The deprivation of food and rest, the denial of cap and gown put the shrew to silence. On the returning way to Padua she calls sun moon, an old man a fresh maiden, as Petruchio has named them. Her tongue is curbed. The patriarchal hierarchical society fears the complaining tongues of the shrews. By punishing female rebellion against male authority the society also aims to suppress male rebellion. The society of Padua is even afraid of shrew who refuses to accept the hierarchy. If the society mocks the shrews, Shakespeare also does the Petruchios with Sly, the false lord and Page, the disguised obedient lady.
