How is suspense built in the bet in The Taming of the Shrew?

The bet that Petruchio makes with his friends comes in the
final scene of the play, Act V scene 2, and seems to be organised by him to demonstrate
his final mastery of Katharina, his wife, and his success in "taming the shrew" that he
has taken on. Notice how, when Petruchio makes his bet, he is swift to force Lucentio to
raise the wager to 100 crowns which serves to increase the
suspense.

Then, of course, a major way in which suspense is
built is the order of the wives who are called to attend their husbands: Bianca is
called first, followed by Hortensio's wife with finally Petruchio's "shrew" being
summoned. From what we know of the characters of Bianca, the widow and Katharina, we
would expect Katharina to be the most likely to disobey her husbands proposal. Thus
seeing the other two wives do this before Katharina really serves to raise suspense in
both us and the characters on stage. Note how Hortensio, whilst Petruchio's servant is
summoning Katharina, predicts (incorrectly) that she will not
come.

Thus it is that suspense is raised concerning this
bet by the wager being increased and the order in which the wives are summoned, with
Katharina being left until last.
