10 Things I Hate About You Themes

Today, everyone knows at least one relationship that seems a bit odd. Not many people can say that they know a couple as dysfunctional as Katherine and Petruchio from the play The Taming of The Shrew (T.o.T.S.), or Kat and Patrick from the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. But are their relationships abnormal, or are they a reflection of the time period? The play Taming of The Shrew and the movie 10 Things I Hate About You show two examples of relationships influenced by social expectations, which is displayed through Katherine and Petruchio’s relationship.

The two stories that are being compared are, Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I hate about you. Taming of the shrew is a play written by William Shakespeare about a woman named Kathrin who knows as a shrew and gets tamed by a wealthy man that’s named Petruchio who try’s to tame “A shrew.” Then there’s ten things about you that is a remake of Taming of the Shrew, but it’s placed in a high school that’s in the 90’s and theses two girls are sisters, Kate and Bianca, what ever Kate does then Bianca can do it, and Kate is the “shrew.” The difference between the relationship of Kate and Petruchio in the play Taming of the Shrew and 10 things I hate about you is seen through Petruchio’s motivation to be with Katherine. This ultimately influences the way Katherine responds to him and is “tamed.”

Although Kate is one of Shakespeare 's most enigmatic characters, she isn 't the only complicated character in The Taming of the Shrew. Her groom, Petruchio, has about as much puzzle encompassing him as does Kate herself. However, investigating Petruchio drives us to ask questions that can wind up troublesome to a great extent because, in all honesty, we need to like him. It might be said, it 's at first difficult to investigate a side of him which may, truth be told, make him less amiable. Is it accurate to say that he is a man of respect or a soldier of fortune looking for just to wed into cash?

Taming of the shrew written by William Shakespeare in the late 16th Century, has had many different adaptations two of which are: The 1967 version of Taming of the shrew directed by Franco Zeffirelli and the cult classic 1999 version 10 things I hate about you both of which shine and interesting light on the play is it an act of misogyny or an act of a man liberating a woman from society. I believe that it is an act of misogyny and will be discussing this in the following presentation through the comparison of both films.

The Taming of the Shrew positions readers to accept the ideologies and beliefs of gender roles in the 17th century. Through literary techniques, contemporary directors modify classic literature’s cultural assumptions, values, and beliefs that underpin texts to suit modern, film based versions. The themes in 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), parallel with Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, while adapting the characterisation and elements of language to suit a modern audience.

The Lord's decision to punish Sly, is by making a great change of him from a "violent animal" to a "person of high birth," will anticipate the way Petruchio will force Kate to change from a "shrew" to a "doing what is ordered married woman.

When Grumio says without doubt to Hortensio that Petruchio will beat Kate in a words-related fight. He suggests that Petruchio's words, or his "noted representatives" of talk, have the power to physically change Kate's appearance.
