As brazed Petruchio, has set a goal to marry Katherine, no matter what road block he meets with the help of his friends.Margaret does the illegal decision demands Andrew to marry her just to avoid being deported without really having feelings for him. As time goes by, feelings start to develop but continues to be ignored. However, both statements seem to be relevant.

Lucentio has fallen in love with the kings daughter Bianca and wants to marry her. He then tells his servant Tranio, about his feelings. In this quote, Lucentio is talking to Tranio about his plan to get closer to Bianca and how to marry Bianca. Lucentio came up with the plan to change identities with Tranio since Bianca's father wants a teacher who is really Tranio, to help his daughters Bianca and Katherine. Happily they did switch identities.

Margaret, was in a different situation than Lucentio. She did not want to marry Andrew and was not in love with im.

At first, she did not like Andrew, but she came up with a different plan to marry Andrew in order to keep her job in the U.S. and not get deported. They had to attend a marriage counselor in order to get approved of the marriage.In the "Shrew", Lucentio basically changed his identity because he loved Bianca but in this case, Margaret lied in order to keep her job that she loved. In the book and in the movie, both characters Margaret and Lucentio got their way with their plan.

= "Say that she rail, why the I'll tell her plain She sings as sweetly as a nightingale. Say that she frown, I'll say she looks as clear As morning roses newly washed with dew. Says she be mute and will not speak a word Then I'll commend her volubility If she do bid me pack, I'll give her thanks As though she bid me stay by her a week. If she deny to wed, I'll crave the day When I shall ask the banns, and when be married." = = (Act 2, Scene 1, Lines178-188) =

Petruchio came up with an plan on how he will get to Katherine. He uses this sort of reverse psychology on her. In this quote, Petruchio makes up his mind to lie to Katrina as a result to get her to fall in love with him because she is has bad habits and is referred to as basically a shrew.Therefore, he is going to say nice things to her when she is use to mean and ignorant comments made about her.

Margaret and Andrew then has to go to Andrews family house and they must act as a married couple with difficulties.

As time goes on within the days, the couple seem to get somewhat closer but does not really show it through their emotions.They rather keep it a secret.
