Petruchio marries Katherina and wears out her head-strong manner with his constant nagging, badgering, and criticism.
Petruchio says that he doesn’t think that Katherina is very difficult and says he can prove it by placing a bet as to which of their new wives will come when called.
Both Bianca and Hortensio’s wife refuse to come, but Katherina comes right away, bringing Bianca with her and admonishes her to be patient and considerate with her husband.

Katherina's shrewishness, however, is a sign of her virtue, that is, her virtue's incompatibilities with her station in life.
Katherina's virtue consists primarily in that she is resolved to acknowledge value in life.
Katherina responds to the insinuation that she is jealous for some material reason with the familiar, down-to-earth "thou" and the request that Bianca admit to having care for, or interest in, others (II.i.8-9).

 Shakespeare: Sample Writings
In the play, Katherina is a very free-willed, independent woman who wishes to follow her own path in life and is not dependent on a man for her happiness.
Katherina is obviously a highly intelligent woman whose gifts have no outlet in the domestic company of the household.
In this first encounter, Katherina is, for the first time in her life, spoken kindly to by a man. She seems moved by Petruchio's praise.

Katherina Minola, the unlikely heroine of Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew, is not one of these women.
Katherina’s barbs should be quietly spat with contempt, not shouted, implying her impudent nature, but also suggesting a lot of pain and jealousy of her sister in Kate’s character that she disguises by being so angry and uncaring.
Katherina’s sister Bianca appears to be the epitome of a perfect woman; she is meek, docile, modest and never outspoken.

 Expert views on A Shrew and The Shrew - Shakespeare in quarto
The trick is to convince Sly that he is a lord, not a tinker, and as part of this trick the lord has a company of players perform a play - the story of Katherina Minola and her marriage to Petruchio - for Sly to watch.
This full frame is theatrically effective and renders the inner play proto-Brechtian - the audience always sees Katherina’s story partly through the lens of Sly, and so they are distanced from her story and more likely to question it, to resist the simplistic and enthusiastic responses to her taming voiced by Sly.
There is no evidence to indicate that the original Shakespearian Katherina said anything along these lines, but it suggests that very early on someone felt that Katherina needed to explain her change of mind.

 The Taming of the Shrew
The story of Katherina Minola and her marriage to Petruchio has been popular in the theatre for four centuries.
The Taming of the Shrew's ongoing appeal is easy to understand - it offers almost production-proof farce, plus the perennially popular joke of the battle of the sexes - but Katherina's story, and the joke of taming an unruly woman have become increasingly controversial.
This edition of The Taming of the Shrew examines how theatre directors and performers have explored the complexities of Katherina's story and that of Christopher Sly, the poor man whose story frames that of Katherine.
