In lines 101-124 of ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ by William Shakespeare, the play gives descriptions of how women are obliged to behave.
It mentions “dressed in all suits like a lady”. This suggests that all women really care about are clothes and appearance.
It also quotes “rain a shower of commanded tears” which implies that women will cry at anything, and so he needs to be able to cry at any moment in order to make the part believable.
The text suggests that women are always meant to do as their husbands command. For example, “noble ladies” and “humble wife”.
It also explains that a woman should be tempting and loving with quotes such as “make known her love” and “with kind embraces, tempting kisses”.
