Taming of the Shrew intro

I expect this play to be very sexist, since everyone in class seems to be ranting about it so much. Also I hope that this play will at least have some jokes and won’t just dwell on the actions of this "Shrew". I'm expecting the play to at the very least be exciting, and energetic, based on what I've read about Shakespeare. I think it will be challenging to read, because Shakespeare language is very crazy and it's very hard to get the hang of. Hopefully there won’t be too much ranting and class, and we'll actually get to read the play, with a nice and steady pace. Before I saw Hamlet, I never knew about Shakespeare, and I will admit I was being left out. If the taming of the shrew is anything like the tempest, or Hamlet, I know that I will definitely love the play. I hope that it also won’t hurt anyone's feelings when we read the play, because by the sound of it, it really can push the buttons.
