How does Petruchio show that he's insistent?
Petruchio calls for his horse quickly before his mind could possibly be changed, 'Grumio, my horse!' This is also a quick and stern request, implying that he is serious and he has no intentions to listen to anyone else's request.
Petruchio then convinces everyone that he wants to take Katherina away in order to protect her. He says 'Fear not, sweet wench, they shall not touch thee, Kate'.
What is Petruchio's attitude?
Petruchio is implying that Katherina is one of his possessions, now that she is married to him, as much as his 'horse, my ox, my ass, my anything' is. Petruchio thinks that, if she stays here with these people, it would be like they were stealing her from him. This is his reason for taking her with him.
