"to wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor.
it blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads,
confounds thy fame as whirlwinds shake fair buds,
and in no sense is meet or amiable.
a woman moved is like a fountain troubled,
muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty,
and while it is so, none so dry or thirsty
will deign to sip or touch one drop of it."—katherine, act v, ii, 147 - 154

in five to seven complete sentences, cite examples from the passage to explain the author's implication of the role of women in society.

in my opinion i think he is misjudging the women even though he is referring to her does anyone think different?

Hey there!

For this passage, you should look your selection of text up verbatim on Google and the first link that shows up should be Sparknotes' No Fear Shakespeare of The Taming of the Shrew. You can read a modernized version of this passage to get a better understanding of exactly what the characters are saying. I did this for both Romeo and Juliet and Julius Caesar and got along much better than the other students who read the old english version probably did. 

For the short essay answer, I would write something along the lines of this:

Within this passage, the author implicates that women are purely meant to be obedient towards their husbands and other male counterparts. This character, Katherine, believes that "[t]o wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor / It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads," meaning that it tarnishes a woman's beauty when she disrespects her husband (Act V, Scene II, 147–148). Katherine goes on to say that "A woman moved is like a fountain troubled / Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty," basically reducing an angry frustrated woman to an unattractive and unwanted nuisance (Act V, Scene II, 151–152). While a woman is angry as such, nothing more than an ugly, dysfunctional fountain, "none so dry or thirsty / Will deign to sip or touch one drop of [the water in the fountain]," (Act V, Scene II, 153–154). All of this information indicates that a woman shouldn't act frustrated towards their husband, especially considering all that they do as their lords to keep them safe and well–treated. A woman, in return, is meant to treat their husband with kindness and content, since the husband is the only one in the relationship who does manual labor or has any sort of responsibility outside of the home. 

That's 6 sentences. I would cite the lines that each quote came from, even though it's easy to tell which lines each quote is from because it's in the question. It's just in good practice, you wouldn't want to get docked points just for that. Also, I'd highly recommend adapting what I wrote if you're going to refer to it heavily, you never know what capabilities teachers have and I wouldn't want you to get accused of cheating!

Hope this helped you out! :-)
