ACT 3 SCENE 1

Lucentio and Hortensio vie for Bianca’s attentions as they tutor her, but Bianca shows a distinct preference for Lucentio. Under the pretense of translating a passage of Latin, Lucentio tells Bianca his true identity and intentions. Ignoring Hortensio’s interruptions, she replies that, while she does not know or trust Lucentio, he must not despair. During Bianca’s music lesson, Hortensio gives her a musical scale that he has devised containing a message to her. Bianca rejects it and a servant arrives, calling her to help prepare for Katherina’s wedding the next day. Hortensio reveals his suspicions of Lucentio and his disgust that Bianca seems to return the affections of a mere tutor. He describes Bianca as a hawk who will stoop to any “stale,” reinforcing the earlier hunting imagery.
