Petruchio talks about how no matter how ugly a woman is inside or out, as long as her father has deep pockets, he will marry her. His use of similes reveals a lot about his character in that by describing Kate as “foul” in reference to Florentius, Sibyl, and Socrates, he displays that he is well read and has received an education worthy of his social status through his wit. He also refers to her as “rough” as the sea, which projects his masculinity by displaying his valor against nature and how to conquer a woman would be the same as to conquer the turbulent seas. Even after describing Kate to insulting parallels, Petruchio continues to rave about how he will happily wed her anyways, fortifying the theme of falconry and the hunt for a mate
