Hortensio is another young man of Padua in Shakespeare’s play the taming of the shrew.
He is a young man from Padua and is one of the many individuals who wish to earn the right to marry Bianca, daughter of Baptista, a rich nobleman from the region. When Petruchio returns to Padua in order to finwife wife, Hortensio is the first person who recommends Katherina to him, but this is also something good for Hortensio himself, as he can only marry Bianca if firstly, Katherina is married.
Later on in the story, he decides to implement his plan of marrying Bianca by dressing up as a music teacher called Litio, which ultimately fails, as he fails to impress Bianca with several secret messages and actions, and by the end, he see’s Bianca kissing a schoolmaster which he considers ‘low’ and for this reason, he believes that Bianca is not worth his love and decides she doesn’t need Bianca. He moves on. He is quite a significant character within the play.

As always, Ekim, you take the harder, but much more worthwhile path of constructing an answer on your own rather than the easy cut-and paste option. As a result, you will always learn more and achieve more than those who go the easy way.
I know this was a short exercise, but I would mention a few typing errors that you’ll probably want to fix in this piece to make it more readable.
