- That is, not to bestow my youngest daughter. Before I have a husband for the elder.
- I have thrust myself into this maze, Happily to wive and thrive as best I may.
- And tell me now, sweet friend, what happy gale. Blows you to Padua here from old Verona?
- The beginning is set in Padua. Germio and Hortensio are the suitors of Bianca. Baptista Minola is the father of Bianca and Bianca's older sister Katherina.

Lucentio and his servant Tranio are watching from a distance as Lucentio begins to like Bianca as well.
- Why, how now, dame! whence grows this insolence?— Bianca, stand aside.—Poor girl, she weeps! Go ply thy needle; meddle not with her. For shame, thou hilding of a devilish spirit!

- Hortensio's friend, Petruchio and his servant Grumio have just arrived to Padua and while asking Petruchio why he has came to Padua, he responds that he is looking for a wife. Hortensio sees this as the perfect opportunity to get Katherina wed so he can marry Bianca
- Yet not so deeply as to thee belongs— Myself am moved to woo thee for my wife.
- In the Baptista's house chaos occurs as Katherine ties her sisters hands asking which suitor she likes best. Once Bianca asks if that's why Katherine dislikes her Katherine strikes her. Baptista walks in at this moment
