From Snore to Score: My Unexpected Ride with The Taming of the Shrew// -selvinov


holla ;)

Hi, I’m Selvi, an English Literature student at a university in Semarang. By the way, FYI, I’m the type of person who rarely reads books. πŸ“—So, if I actually pick up a book, it must be good. Chances are, any book I choose will be awesome, haha. And the books I read? They’ll totally sell out, because I’ll review them and spread the word across the internet so they’re bound to go global! Anyone want me to read their book? I’m open to endorsements... just kidding, guys! πŸ˜„

 Speaking of books, At first, The Taming of the Shrew totally made me not want to keep reading. It felt stiff and kinda boring😞. But as I got deeper into the story, the plot turned out to be way more exciting than I expected!😍 There’s humor, some hilarious conflicts, and the dynamic between the main characters is honestly super intriguing.

Katherina and Petruchio are like that chaotic duo toxic but funny. They keep clashing and it's actually what makes things fun. At first, Katherina comes off as this stubborn girl who’s always snappy, but as the story goes, you realize she’s got depth. And Petruchio? He’s annoying at first, but the more you read, the more their relationship makes you think about how people handle each other.

There’s this one quote that really hit me:  

"If I be waspish, best beware my sting."

It’s like a reminder that everyone has their own way of showing who they are. Sometimes we need to be careful and understand how to approach someone, because not everyone reacts the same way.

So yeah, even though I didn’t feel like continuing at first, this book actually has a lot of cool messages. Lesson learned? Don’t judge a book by its opening chapters! sometimes the content is far more interesting! Happy reading, friends! πŸ“š✨
