Taming Of The Shrew Movie Vs Play

10 Things I Hate About,a romantic comedy and drama is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s comedy “The Taming of the Shrew”. The film was directed in 1999 by Gil Junger, who was an American director from the University of Texas. Junger directed television before directing this film, working on shows such as Golden Girls and Dharma and Greg. The tale starts with the character named Cameron, played by a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is a new student in Padua High School. Michael, who later becomes friends with Cameron, gives Cameron a tour and that's when he sees Bianca Stratford for the first time. A beautiful sophomore with one complication, she's not allowed to date anyone and neither her “shrew” sister, Katarina, played by Julia Stiles.

10 Things I Hate About You is interesting. Even the title of the movie sounds quite similar. Anyways, a lot of William Shakespeare’s themes were applied during this movie. For example, throughout the whole movie, there have been different scenarios of when Shakespeare came up. When Kat would be with her friend near her locker, the friend is obsessed with William Shakespeare. She even had a poster of him in her locker. At prom, Michael asked Kat’s friend to prom by attaching a elizabethan scroll on an renaissance dress. Little details and stuff like that popped up during the movie. Some of the characters had quoted some of Shakespeare's sonnets and plays in their dialogue. For example, when Cameron first sees Bianca he says to himself, “I burn, I pine, I perish,” which was from “The Taming Of The Shrew.” Another example that was taken from Shakespeare is when the singers were singing the line, “curl to be kind,” which was a reference to a line from the play, Hamlet. An interesting fact is that the whole film was shot on locations. There were no sets being used throughout the whole film.. One interesting thing was in the character's name and the high school’s name each had a hidden Shakespeare theme. For example, the character Patrick's last name, Verona,which is the city where Romeo and Juliet takes place. Kat and Bianca’s last name, Stratford, is a

They both have issues and problems. They are also part of two different out-groups and from a relationship based on their similarities. The two characters meet on a problematic basis in the sense that Patrick is payed to take Kat on a date before both characters go through a transitional change and realise they like each other. This relationship in particular is an interesting one. It satisfies our needs as an audience when they finally come together after conflict. The first sign of change in both of the characters is the party scene. Patrick begins to show concern for Kat by worrying about her when she gets drunk. At this moment, the audience can see that Patrick isn't that hardcore rebel that we thought he was. His personality changed to a soft side of him and now he sees Kat a little more than just a bet. It has always been said that when someone is drunk their true feelings show. In this case, Kat flirts with Patrick suggesting that Patrick’s eyes, “have a little green in them”. Right there, that shows that she is starting to get into him. When Patrick drops Kat off and she leans in for the kiss, Patrick backs away, which results in upsetting Kat. While trying to figure out what he had to do to make it up to Kat, Cameron suggests, only for his own benefit with Bianca, to declare his love to Kat. This leads into one of my other favorite scenes. Patrick used some of the money he's been getting from the bet to organize an
