The jealousy that Kate suffers is a result of her relationship with Bianca, and their interaction both with each other and with those around them. From the moment Kate is introduced to the audience with Bianca and Baptista, it is evident that she is always second in her father’s affections. Bianca is the apple of her father’s eye, the golden angel he always wanted. This sparks Kate’s jealousy, provoking her to feel the need for revenge, as shown in Act 2 Scene 1: “Talk not to me! I will go sit and weep / Til I can occasion of revenge.” The jealousy felt by Kate is a key part of the storyline, creating emotional tension throughout the play.
