A New Taming Tale

We just finished reading "The Taming of the Shrew" so it's time for me to start on my paper. For my paper I decided to write a play with some of the themes Shakespeare used in his play. I just started a character sketch for a character I think I am going to call "Willie." I've been researching about William Shakespeare's life trying to find modernized descriptions for my character, Willie.

Playwrights in the 15th and 16th centuries were just beginning to gain credibility again in the Renaissance era (the rebirth.) Writers in general were making their way back up in the world. I would imagine they were pushing their work into people's hands for money or not. Just anything that would get them read.

So far I have Willie as being:
flamboyant
gaudy
eccentric
romanticized

If anyone has any suggestions it would be wonderful!!!!
