The Taming of the Shrew a Comedy by William Shakespeare

It's a play within a play! The story starts out in a bar and then some drunks decide to put on a production. This rich Italian dude has two daughters, one bitchy, one boring. Bianca, the younger more docile one has about a million guys hitting her up 24/7. But pops won't let her marry until Kat, the older, fiestier, sassier one is hitched. But the local bros just can't wrap their heads around a woman with her own mind, so collectively the suitors get Petruchio, in town on a vision quest, to woo her. Petruchio is like, "if she's got money then I'm in", but Kat isn't having any of it. Petruchio decides to do a little reverse physc, outbitching even her bitchiest remark. She's married off despite her wishes, and is basically kidnapped after the wedding. Pet brings her back to his pad, starves her, doesn't let her sleep and mentally and emotionally tortures her. Then he gives it to her so good that she's dickmatized in love with him. Kat and Pet return to Padua for Bianca's wedding to one or another suitor, I can't really tell them apart, and the men all make a bet on whose wife is most obedient. Apparently some light political crimes make for the perfect marriage because Kat comes when Pet calls. So the moral of the story is, being a dick and being charming are the same thing, but only if you're a man.
