The movie “10 Things I Hate About You” and “The Taming of The Shrew” has a similar story with the characters. The movie “Taming of the shrew” has two main characters Petruchio and Katharina. The movie is about Petruchio making his wife Katharina the kindnest wife. The movie “10 things I hate about you” has two main characters as well. They are Patrick and Kat.

In both stories, she was mocked and treated like a slave by her stepsisters and stepmother. In the original Cinderella told by the Grimm brothers, it states, “Then she seated herself on a stool, drew her foot out of the heavy wooden shoe, and put it into the slipper, which fit like a glove. And when she rose up and the king's son looked at her face he recognized the beautiful maiden who had danced with him and cried, ‘That is the true bride!’ ” In both versions, Cinderella loses her shoe and the prince finds his one true love by putting it on her. In the modern version retold by Disney it states, “He obliged Cinderella to sit down, and, putting the slipper to her little foot, he found it went on very easily and fitted her as if it had been made of wax.”

Miss Strangeworth Character Essay: 71 Year Old Spinster Pleasant Street seemed to be Miss Strangeworth’s play house because she thought she owned the place, at least Strangeworth thought so. Meanwhile on the inside she is evil and thinks she is at the top of the town’s hierarchy. In fact she has a god complex. Miss Adela Strangeworth, a character in the short story “A Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson, is a 71 year old who is thought by the townsfolk as a sweet puny lady but she is nothing but that. Because of the way Miss Strangeworth is, all horrible actions must have a consequence and she finds out the truth of that statement when her vintage old self turns into the evil lady that no one has seen before, and she realizes that she wants more control than she has, basically a god complex.

“But in the afternoon, it being very hot, the seven Princesses all fell asleep, and when he saw they were fast asleep, the Rajah, their father stole away and left them (for he feared his wife), saying to himself, ‘It is better that my poor daughters should die here, than be killed by their stepmother.’” (Punchkin, p.3). The short story Punchkin, written by Mary Frere, is a tale of heroism directed towards the 18th century audience. More specifically, the audience is women due to the fact that the speaker is a woman as well who portrays a feministic theme in the tale.

Some of the similarities in these films are the plot,Characters and themes. the plots are similar in the fact that they are both about the liberating of women by men. the characters are used to reinforce this and are reflective of the the eras studied.

When the character of Daphne, in the “Baglady”, is revealed, the temperament of a typical rich English lady is fragmented. Having formed Daphne to undergo many changes to try and represent the struggling women in the late 1990s, A.S. Byatt proclaims her to be a frumpy, self-deprecating female that likes to live in solitary. First and foremost, Daphne’s character as frumpy is revealed when “she trie[s] to make herself attractive and los[es] ten pounds[,] [along with getting a] manicure [,] [she still finds that] her style [sits] tweed, and stout shoes, [along with her] bird’s nest hair” (pgs. 163-164). Daphne’s sense of style, when compared to the other women in the late 1990s is considered outdated and unfashionable, leading her to be considered

Snow White is a kind and caring person in OUAT, even though nobody except for the kid knows that time has stopped because of the evil queen. She wakes up Prince Charming by reading him a story of the past to remind him of what happened. I personally like the Snow White that killed the queen at the end. It was the story from the “Twisted Fairy Tales.” I think it is awesome that she was poisoned then went on to kill her step mother because she was trying to kill her throughout the entire story.

Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s relationship caused many chaotic outcomes, but in the end it proved to be fatal.

Lady Macbeth received a letter from her husband about the witches’ prophecies. He wrote, “This have I thought good to to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness.”

Some adaptations changed sex of several secondary characters. I would like to keep the ratio the same, but improve personality traits of female characters, especially Ophelia. She would be affected by strange Hamlet’s behavior and the murder of her father, but these events should cause only a nerve breakdown and commitment to mental hospital, not the absurd suicide that happened in the original play. “There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke; when down her weedy trophies and herself fell in the weeping brook” (Shakespeare 130). Ophelia can survive tragic events because of her residential treatment.

In the process of taming Kate, Petruchio starves her, and trains her, as he uses metaphors to liken Kate to a “falcon”, suggesting that Kate is a trainable pet which he can groom into the perfect women. Shakespeare living in a patriarchal society uses Petruchio to tame Kate, however, Jung composed the movie after the second wave of feminism, uses Kat to tame herself. Kat’s self-examination is started as she conforms to the society and goes to the party hosted by “Bogey”. Pat then helps her throughout the process by helping her after she is drunk at the party. Therefore resulting in the usual grunge motif going away and Kat’s music becoming soft and peaceful showing her being happy and fitting into the society.
