At the end they all find out they fall in love with each other. When Perturio marries Katherine for her money and eventually tames her and has her love a loyalty. When Margaret marries Andrew it was so she would be deported back to Canada, Andrew agrees to marry her for a promotion, but they find themselves in love with each other at the end. __Marriage can be forced, but sometimes love will prevail at the end. __

Both Perturio and Andrew want something that has to do with money, Both women are pushy and shrews, Margaret doesn't want to be deported because she would lose her job. Petruchio wants Katherine's dowry

"Then tell me, if I get your daughter's love, What dowry shall I have with her to wife?" (Act 2, Scene 1, 126-127)

In this quote, Petruchio is asking Baptista about basically how much money will he get for marrying.

At first both, Petruchio and Margaret know what they want out of this marriage

In this picture Margaret was pointing at Andrew demanding he marry her, more as a order.

"That you shall be my wife, your dowry 'greed on, And, will you, nill you, I will marry you." (Act 2, Scene 1, 285-286)

Petruchio tells Katherine that her father consented to their marriage, and that he __will __marry her, no matter how much she hates him.

Andrew says no to marrying her and says " If you want to marry me, first you must ask me and really mean it" she kneels on one knee and asks him to marry her and he stills says no. She pleeds with him and then offers him a promotion. After that he finally agrees.

 In the movie and play, the complete opposites fall in love. Katherine, at first is uncontrollable and pushy, but Petruchio tame her by harsh ways. By making her starve to show her who the more powerful is and that everything she gets is from and through him. Katherine realizes that there is no way to leave this marriages and starts to obey Petruchio. Margaret, at first is pushy and bossy and demands Andrew to marry her by a bribe that there is a promotion for him if he goes through with that marriage. Once she realizes that she cannot force him to do marry her, but realizes that she loves him.
