    It is very likely that the story of a wandering hero was an actual vagabond whose exploits were greatly exaggerated. As this person traveled across the land, he did various missions for various groups of people.

    However, even if it is clear that Shakespeare was not the patriarchal bard, ‘The Taming of The Shrew’ is quite unsatisfying compared to his other great pieces of work.
