Through the course of the play, Kate exhibits characteristics of wanting to experience honest love, regardless of how obnoxious and hateable she is in the beginning. The first instance of her desire for love is evident in Act Two, Scene One. In this scene, Kate attacks Bianca, her younger sister, with questions concerning all the suitors who are waiting to take Bianca's hands for marriage. Bianca identifies Kate's interrogation as an act of jealousy and a greed for being loved and asks “is it for [Gremio] you do envy me so?” (797). However, examining her questions to Bianca and her answers to Bianca inquiry show that it is not Gremio or any other suitor that Kate experiences jealousy towards, but she is envious of Bianca for the reason that everyone, even her father, sees her as the better sister. Kate speculates about these desirous feelings toward Bianca and challenges her father of loving her sister more by saying, “[Bianca] is your treasure” (798).
