The Taming of the Shrew
why does Baptista tell his daughter he doesn't blame her for crying on her wedding day?
act 3 scene 2
act 3 scene 2
"Go, girl. I cannot blame thee now to weep,
For such an injury would vex a very saint,
Much more a shrew of thy impatient humor."
Baptista doesn't blame her for weeping because he feels she has been grossly insulted. He infers that even a saint would be upset by such a blatant insult, and that he understands that a shrew (like his daughter) would be doubly upset.
