Choose two words from The Taming of the Shrew that you would like to study further.

Here are a few possibilities–”politicly,” “humour,” “haggard,” “cunning,” “light,” “curst,” “shrew,” “green,” “happy”–but choose something else if you wish. Avoid examining a word that appears only once in the play.

Then use the Oxford English Dictionary to find the most appropriate meanings of the word from its list of meanings. (Print off a screenshot of the relevant pages.) For each word, comment in a sentence or two about what you’ve discovered about Shakespeare’s use of that word.

Your completed assignment should contain:

  • print-offs for your two words from the OED;
  • print-offs for your two words from the OpenSource Concordance;
  • your comments on how Shakespeare seems to define and use these two words in The Tamingof the Shrew.

Question Description

I have chosen 4 people within my community that I consider fairly powerful: 1. Mayor- Chockwe Antar Lumumba 2. Sheriff- Victor Mason 3. Judge- Bill Skinner 4. Superintendent- Dr. Errick L. Greene.

  2. Reward – This results from one person’s ability to compensate another for compliance.
  3. Expert – This is based on a person’s high levels of skill and knowledge.
  4. Referent – This is the result of a person’s perceived attractiveness, worthiness and right to others’ respect.
  5. Coercive – This comes from the belief that a person can punish others for noncompliance.
