Just so, who is the pedant in Taming of the Shrew?Pedant. A Pedant is a schoolmaster from Mantua, on a trip to Rome and Tripoli. He meets a young man in Padua who warns him that there is war between Padua and Mantua, and convinces him to pretend to be Vincentio of Pisa, who happens to be the young man’s father, for his safety.Subsequently, question is, who is disguised as who in The Taming of the Shrew? In The Taming of the Shrew, many characters employ disguise in order to further their own schemes, generally by duplicitous means: Lucentio becomes Cambio, and Hortensio, Litio, in order to get around Baptista’s embargo on Bianca. Tranio becomes ‘Lucentio’ so as to knock out the rival suitors. Beside this, who is Hortensio in Taming of the Shrew? Hortensio. Hortensio is Petruchio’s best friend and sort of his wingman. (He tells Petruchio about Kate and personally escorts his pal to Baptista’s house to seal the deal.) Hortensio is also in love with Bianca and dresses up like a tutor (“Licio”) to get closer to her.Why do Lucentio and Bianca ask pardon?Why do Lucentio and Bianca ask pardon of their fathers in lines 109-111? They ask this because much of it was done by impersonation (on Lucentio’s part) and they eloped and got married which was considered disrespectful to the fathers. Both Vincentio and Baptista finally agree to the marriage.
