Adaptation Expansion |
| | Shakespeare: The Animated Tales / int_23473ae7 |
comment |
Adaptation Expansion: In The Taming of the Shrew, the framing device with Christopher Sly is given a conclusion. During Kate’s final speech, Sly falls asleep and is immediately whisked away back to where he was found in the beginning. Sly wakes up and goes back into the tavern, proclaiming that he knows how to tame a shrew...and is promptly thrown out into the mud again. |
