The Taming of the Shrew vs. 10 Things I Hate About You: A comparison and
contrast between the Shakespearean play and the modern day movie adaptation. ... The movie 10 Things I Hate About You is loosely based on William
Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. ...
The movie 10 Things I Hate About You follows the path of two sisters, with conflicting personalities, and the struggle for one to fit and the other to remain an outcast. ...
In the play Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare once again, the younger and more
popular sister Bianca, is punished for the crude behavior of her sister Katherina, in that her father will
not allow her to marry until her sister does. ... Petruchio’s servants prepare dinner for the two as soon as
they arrive, and although Kate enjoys the food, Petruchio complains about it. ... Finally, Petruchio is able to break Kate out of her “shrew” behavior and whatever Petruchio
had to say, no matter how crazy it sounded, Kate would agree. ... She
had finally realized how wrong she was for being such a shrew all that time. ... This proved that
Petruchio was finally able to tame the “Shrew”, his wife, Katherina. ... The father of the two daughters is the problem in both stories with his rule that the younger “fair” daughter can not be in a relationship until the older “shrew” does the same. In Taming of the Shrew, the character of Petruchio is given money and land by Katherina’s father to pursue her, and in 10 Things I Hate About You, Patrick is given money by Joey, the jock who wants Bianca, to do the same. ... Yet another similarity between the two stories is when Patrick (in 10 Things I Hate About You) makes a public declaration of his love for Kat. ... This is similar to Patricia’s (Taming of the Shrew) outrageous appearance as the “mad-brained Bridegroom” who dressed like a clown, handcuffed the priest, and carried off his bride. In Taming of the Shrew, the character of Lucentio is new to the town of Padua and when he spots Bianca he immediately falls in love. ... In 10 Thing I Hate About You, Cameron is a new student at Padua High School and also takes a liking to Bianca the moment he lays eyes on her. ...
One of the ways in which the two stories differ is the way Petruchio (Patrick) went about taming Katherina (Kat). There wasn’t much taming on Patrick’s part in 10 Things I Hate About You.
