Is Petruchio Rich

Petruchio is a wealthy bachelor who is on the prowl for a rich wife. When he hears about Katherine Minola, he agrees to marry her despite (or, perhaps because of) her reputation as a shrew.

How would you describe Petruchio?

Petruchio is a gentleman who comes to Padua from Verona seeking a wife. He is loud, stubborn, and boisterousβ€”in some ways a male version of Katherine. He accepts the challenge of taming Katherine and is confident in his ability to exercise male dominance over her.

Is Petruchio attracted to Kate or is he merely interested in her because she is wealthy?

(Taming of the Shrew) Is Petruchio attracted to Kate, or is her merely interested in her because she is wealthy? In my opinion Petruchio is not attracted to Kate yet, he just wants her for her wealth, because he also thinks that he can tame her.
