Kuinka äkäpussi kesytetään

by William Shakespeare

Translated by Paavo Emil Cajander

"Kuinka äkäpussi kesytetään" by William Shakespeare is a comedy written between 1590 and 1592. The play follows Petruchio's courtship of Katherina, a headstrong woman deemed unmarriageable by other suitors. Through psychological and physical tactics, Petruchio attempts to "tame" her into an obedient bride. Meanwhile, multiple men compete for Katherina's younger sister Bianca, disguising themselves as tutors to win her affection. The play has sparked considerable controversy over whether it is misogynistic, yet remains one of Shakespeare's most frequently adapted works.
