Write your own modernised sonnet from the perspective of one of the characters in ‘Taming of the shrew’.
The Taming of the Shrew 
Luccentio: speaking about Bianca.
She is my heart’s desire,
When I look at her I am filled with mirth.
She makes my heart catch fire,
I would chase her to the ends of the Earth.
She is the most beautiful goddess I have ever seen.
A waterfall of golden hair,
Eyes like a forest, such a deep green,
Lips, a pink and rosy pair.
But what if she does not love me?
Have I even caught her notice?
Does she think me as boring as a tree?
Maybe someone else is her focus?
I must try to make her mine!
Such a love, surely she can’t decline?
Bianca
My life is ruled by my sister’s madness
I wish for once I made my own choices
My father so strict on his own daughters
Maybe one day I will be free of this
To find the perfect guy to break this spell
Would make me truly happy forever
I think I’ve finally found the right one
So smart and intelligent he sure is
I hope my father will approve of him
So then I can be happy for ever
Finally my sister has been married
Now it’s my turn to be independent
We will be getting married in secret
So truly happy my life is complete
