Answer:
'The Taming of the shrew' talks about complexity of issues in love, marriage and society.
Explanation:
"The Taming of the Shrew" by "William Shakespeare" talks about love, whether it is romantic, platonic or filial. He talks about romantic relationship between a man and a woman when they take interest in each other and decide to get married.
