By the end of the novel, Petruchio transforms Katherine into his submissive and obedient wife. Katherine is trained to do whatever Petruchio asks of her and is severely disciplined when he does not obey. Petruchio owns full ownership of Katherine, while in contrast, Bianca is the one calling the shots in her relationship with Lucentio. When Lucentio first lays eyes on Bianca, he admits his immediate love and admiration for her when he says: "But you see, while I was looking absentmindedly, I found the effect of love in idleness" (I . i 152-153). Lucentio is madly in love with Bianca and for this reason sees nothing wrong with her. Bianca is her own woman in her relationship with Lucentio and proves herself to be this independent-minded woman in Act V scene ii when she refuses to come to Lucentio's side after he calls her sweetly and politely. Lucentio is blinded by his love for Bianca and looks to her for guidance while in contrast Katherine is completely controlled and dominated by Petruchio in her life.
