At the end of Taming of the Shrew, Katharine and Petruchio visit Baptista, where two other newly wedded couples are present: Bianca and Lucentio and Hortensio and his bride. Petruchio wins a wager about which of the wives is the most obedient and submissive. Katharine is famous from that day forth as the most obedient and duteous wife in Padua.
