What are some metaphors in taming of the shrew?

Answer 1

ACT 2, SCENE 1 (metaphors):

KATHERINE: 'Moved' - in good time! Let him that moved you hither
Remove you hence. I knew you at first
You were a movable.
PETRUCHIO: Why, what's a movable?
KATHERINE: A joint stool.

2.
PETRUCHIO: O slow-winged turtle, shall a buzzard take thee?
KATHERINE: Ay, for a turtle, as he takes a buzzard.
PETRUCHIO: Come, come, you wasp! I'faith you are too angry.
KATHERINE: If I be waspish, best beware my sting.
PETRUCHIO: My remedy is then to pluck it out.
KATHERINE: Ay, if the fool could find it where it lies.
PETRUCHIO: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting?
In his tail.
KATHERINE: In his tongue.
PETRUCHIO: Whose tongue?
KATHERINE: Yours, if you talk of tales, and so farewell.
