My husband and my lord, my lord and husband,
I am your wife in all obedience.
SLY
I know it well. (Induction.2.107-109)
Bartholomew is very convincing as an obedient wife and Sly has no doubt that he's the dominant one in the relationship. It's funny, that's for sure, but it also raises the question of whether or not the role of "obedient wife" is just that, a role to be played. Think about this in relationship to Kate's final speech. How can we know if she's being sincere?
