A woman is being forced by her father to marry a rude and mad man named Petruchio who woos women hastily but has no intention of actually marrying them. He hides his cruel jokes behind crude behavior and pretends to be a funny man who woos many women, sets marriage dates, and announces banns, yet never intends to wed any of them. Now the world will point at the woman, Katherine, and say she is the supposed wife of the mad Petruchio, if he ever decides to marry her.

Unto a mad-brain rudesby, full of spleen, Who woo'd in haste and means to wed at leisure. I told you, I, he was a frantic fool, Hiding his bitter jests in blunt behaviour; And, to be noted for a merry man, He'll woo a thousand, 'point the day of marriage, Make friends invited, and proclaim the banns; Yet never means to wed where he hath woo'd. Now must the world point at poor Katherine, And say 'Lo, there is mad Petruchio's wife, If it would please him come and marry her!
