- At the end of Act IV of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, Katherine, Hortensio, and Petruchio are traveling to Padua for Bianca’s wedding when they meet an old man also traveling to Padua. This older man is Vincentio, Lucentio’s father. Why does Katherine say the following to Vincentio, who is clearly an old man? [approximately 40 words]

Whither away, or where is they abode?
Happy the parents of so fair a child!
Happier the man whom favorable stars
Allots thee for his lovely bedfellow.”
