Metaphor
Act 5,
Scene 2
Lines 44-48
Petruchio
Bianca
Petruchio may think he’ll hit Bianca with his witty barbs, but she’s two quick-witted for him. She’ll be like a bird that flits from bush to bush, pursued to no avail by hunters struggling to draw back their bows for a shot. They’re all welcome to try to hit her.
