10 Things i hate about you vs. The taming of the shrew

The movie Ten things I hate about you, was successful of capturing the essence of the play Taming of the Shrew. Taming of the shrew consists of taming your spouse in order to marry; if your spouse doses not become tamed she is considered an embarrassment. In order to tame Petruchio’s wife he "sent her to her chamber, were she will be treaded like a falcon feeling famished and sleepless." To have respect you can’t look bad by having your wife not listen to you and show disrespect towards you. Like Bianca did when Lucentio “married her for love and money but couldn’t manage to tame her.” Today’s day people believe in love at first sight, but dose everyone believe? In ten things I hate about you, Kat was the kind of girl that wouldn’t let anything in her way, until Bogey “paid Pat to take Kat on a date”. At first he wasn’t up for it, he thought he didn’t need to “get involved with anyone.” Soon he realizes they have a lot in common and they both get along very well. When Kat soon finds out there friendship was all a paycheck she thought to herself “how stupid could I be to fall for a guy I should have known it was a scam.” Kat then got asked to read her poem for the class, Pat knew it was about him, he knew he hurt her; he just wasn’t to sure how to make it up to her quite yet. He resulted in singing a song to her in front of her whole soccer team while dancing away from the security guards. Both the movie and the play have there similarities of taming or either being tamed by one another. Throughout the movie Pat becomes tamed by Kat, he has a lot of fun with her even his friend’s saw a change in him. In the play everyone noticed a change in Katherine after she became tamed by Petruchio she was very well behaved and has become respectful to her husband. In conclusion I consider Ten things I hate about you more down to earth and thoughtful. I feel when someone should be tamed it should happen on your own not when someone forces you to change.
