The Taming of the Shrew is a play within a play because the secondary plot features a play being performed to transition to the main plot. The frame play, also commonly referred as the Induction, shows a wealthy lord playing a trick on the drunk Christopher Sly by upgrading his status through clothes and possessions in an effort to persuade Sly that he is an aristocrat. After this is accomplished, the lord’s men perform the main plot of The Taming of the Shrew, where Shakespeare depicts the courtship of Katherina, the headstrong and intolerable shrew, and Petruchio.
