If you've ever watched or read Shakespeare's late 16th-Century play The Taming of the Shrew, you'll be familiar with the antiquated gender tropes at play. The famous story centres on protagonist Petruchio, who exacts various punishments on his headstrong wife Katherine to transform her into an "ideal" pliant and submissive woman.But modern audiences may be less aware of the diagnosis for Katherine's intolerable wilfulness: an excess of yellow bile (known as "choler") rushing in her blood, leading to a stubborn and hot-headed disposition. Yet more bizarrely, treating the affliction involves Petruchio preventing Katherine from eating "hot" foods that might further inflame her condition. Beef served with mustard, for instance, is strictly off limits (English)
