Identity- Overall, Petruchio succeeded in his goal to make Kate realize her nature and deviate from her reputation. Sly, the drunk beggar he is, is pranked into believing he is a lord even though he has no recollection of royalty what-so-ever. Lucentio and Tranio fake their true identities when they trade places.
Deception- Lucentio and Tranio are deceiving everyone by switching roles as suitor and tutor. Bianca deceives her father Baptista by knowing Lucentio was the tutor and aloping with him anyway. The whole plot to persuade Petruchio to woo and marry Katherina is deception which back fires since Petruchio ends up with the most obedient wife and the most dowry.
Superiority- Kate's shrewish behavior gives her superiority over everyone since they fear her. Petruchio has superiority over Kate before and during his taming process. An example of before being repeatedly calling her Kate when they first met. An example occurring during the taming process is the deprivation he controlled . After they wed, Bianca established superiority over Lucentio when she refused to come to him during the banquet. Lastly, the lord and his servants hold superiority over Sly. Even though he is "the lord", the real lord and his servants can break him at anytime.
Obsession vs. Affection- Lucentio trades places with Tranio so he could be around Bianca all the time. He marries her regardless because he is the true Lucentio.
