Bianca Conflict

Mirabella was a difficult girl to teach in that school. She was lazy and act lazy in front of her own sisters. “In the first paragraph page 244 stage last paragraph 2 she told her sister to lick her own wounds”. Mirabella wanted her sisters to do everything for her. She didn’t learn how to walk or talk, and she was always begging for scraps. Her sisters would only be the one trying

The sisters treat Sartoris with little to no respect and ridicule him based on the way he were raised by his father. I perceive the girls as very demeaning to Sartoris, just as the father is to him. The girls are flat characters in the story and add detail to Sartoris and his father, Abner. The two sisters are mischievous and often do not do as they are asked by anyone. They are both snobby to Sartoris throughout the story and treat him as a lesser person because they believe they are older, wiser, and more powerful because he is younger than the two sisters.

The relationship between Kate and Petruchio is completely different from the love of Bianca and Lucentio. "Kate is a neglected, hurt, and humiliated daughter who disguises her grief from herself as well as others with a noisy shrewish temper" (Craig 342). She has a fiery disposition and a reputation for reacting violently to people. The challenge of capturing her is Petruchio's real attraction to her. He can be seen as a rough, unfeeling, greedy, "swash-buckler" who cares nothing for Kate's feelings (so long as she has money). "

The three sisters are triplets so they look alike with long thick black hair, average builds just a carbon-copy of each other. Missy and Claire have the same style and taste, but are exact opposites in personality. Missy was popular, did not like to study, she would rather be reading Cosmopolitan but, she was also daring and brave. In the story she is the one who is dying to meet her twin and comes up with the idea to leave town to meet her while Claire is worried and not wanting to leave. Claire could be categorized as a nerd she loved; learning, homework, and every little thing about school. She was not as popular as Missy but she was known at school. Claire fits in so well with the nerds because she is also shy and worries easy. In the story when Missy leaves on the train, she doesn't want to come or even meet the third girl she wants to stay just the way she is now. Genevieve is the middle ground she likes school, but she doesn't hate it, she is the everyone knows but is not popular. Genevieve is caring nevertheless in the book she showed this trait when she went to go care for her grandmother and the other people in the nursing home every

There are many different opinions regarding whether Wolsey was seen more as a partner to Henry than a servant. Whilst source 7 agrees with this, suggesting that not only did Wolsey have equal power to that of Henry, but he also had the wealth and mannerism of a king too. Source 8 however contradicts this, and suggests that Wolsey was purely a servant to the king. As everything Wolsey did went through Henry first, it is seen here that Wolsey had no power at all, a relied heavily on pleasing the king in order to keep his statutory role as cardinal. This suggests that Wolsey could have been in fact fearful of Henry, showing an entirely more servant relationship and completely contradicting

For instance, Kate makes the boy realize that stealing is not right. Hence, she

Petruchio may have been mean to her in order to tame her but by the end; he shows how he truly loves her. “Come, my sweet Kate/Better once than never, for never too late” (Shakespeare Vi 149-150). Kat’s sonnet about her feelings towards Patrick show that she has accepted that she can be in love. This is her version of being “tamed” because she can rely on someone other than herself. Patrick uses the money he made dating her to buy her a guitar and beg for her forgiveness. He has fallen for her though that was no his original intention. “I thought you could use it. You know, when you start your band. Besides, I had some extra cash, you know. Some asshole paid me to take out a really great girl but I screwed up. I fell for her” (10 Things I Hate About You). Besides the story, the filmmakers have used several exact lines from the play in the movie. Cameron echoes Lucentio’s line, “I burn, I pine, I perish”(Shakespeare Ii 155) when he sees Bianca for the first time. Kat, like Kate, tells her sister “You don't always have to be who they want you to be” (10 Things I Hate About You). The filmmakers kept Shakespeare’s story of love and deceit intact in the modernization.

As the conflict between Kat and her society, she finds herself losing the fight. Despite accolades she received while working on the razor’s edge, Kat’s life is less than successful. Her relationships with competitive men and left her broken and hurt. “Twice she had abortions, because the men in question were not up for the alternative” (pp.17). Kat’s choice to

Katia seems to embody the paradigm of a working-class woman (Salys, 177). At the end of the film, she had obtained material success, social mobility, and a happy marriage. The other two characters did not fit the qualities that make up an ideal woman in the socialist society, so they did not obtain everything that Katia obtained. Tonia’s life was happy, because she embodies the second-best class, the peasantry (Sakys, 176). She had a garden in the countryside, and she lived peacefully with her husband. However, her satisfaction with a country life hindered her from making social progress, while Katia raised to higher ranks. Moreover, the romantic rustic life that was inevitably linked to property ownership was an inward focus on individuality instead of an outward contribution to the collective mass, which was perceived as unfruitful by the socialist ideology. Liuda flirted with many men, and at the outset, she seemed to be the most successful woman due to her marriage to

Kat at the start of this film is socially repellent. In her English class, she portrays her intelligence within the class which Joey replies with ‘As opposed to a bitter, self-righteous hag who has no friends?’ which all of his friends laugh and high five him. As you can tell, much like Hortensio and Gremio, this is another dehumanising statement and his friend’s reaction emphasises the male disgust towards Kat. Additionally, her own sister Bianca tells Cameron how she feels about Kat, describing her as a ‘hideous breed of loser… unsolved mystery…a bitch.’ All descriptions of her sister highlight she is hated by all of her peers and HER OWN SISTER, even though in this context female individuality is acceptable. However, at the end, Kat has evolved from who she was once. Kat has a speech which is a clear parallel to Katharina’s monologue. Kat states ‘I hate the way you talk… I hate it when you stare… I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry… I hate it that you’re not around… I hate the way I don’t hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.’ The anaphoric repetition creates a cumulative listing effect emphasising each statement intensively in which it is reversed due to the double meaning in the last few lines, making the audience question whether she ‘hates’ that list. As well as that, when she says ‘cry’, there is a medium shot

Violet is a pretty, popular, soccer player with an equally popular soccer player boyfriend. However, Violet 's world comes crashing down when the women 's soccer team is cut from her high school due to lack of funds. Violet in turn decided to impersonate her twin brother Sebastian at her rival school so that she can tryout for the male soccer team and show her now ex-boyfriend that girls can play just as well as boys. At her new high school she falls in love with her brother 's roommate. The problem is, he thinks she 's a boy. Violet is not your typical movie heroine, in the beginning of the movie she seemingly has everything a girl could want, however her passion for soccer drives her to step outside the norm and prove herself. Although the main character in this movie contradicts Denby 's view of teen movies, there are many other characters in the movie who fall directly in line with Denby 's theory. For example, Sebastian 's girlfriend Monique is a typical cheerleader type character. She has no regard for anyone 's life but her own. Also, Violet 's divorced parents are completely unaware that their son Sebastian is in London playing with a band, and their daughter Violet is impersonating him in order to play soccer.

This is seen in the movie when Kat’s sister, Bianca, was introduced. She was dressed nicely and was not all that smart, and then when Kat herself was introduced, people described her as a bitch and no one wanted to date her, because she did not do anything people expected of her. The idea of women

expected John to pay of his debts. John would not pay of the debts and made

Ironically, they prove to be perfect for one another. Though Katharina seems heartless and unemotional, her one true fear is losing Petruchio. " It is surely worth remarking that Kate has only one true moment of agony, when Petruchio's deliberately tardy arrival for their wedding makes her feel jilted" (Bloom 30-31). Their mutual roughness seems to be their way of flirtation. Though Katharina feels that Petruchio is "a mad rudesby full of spleen," she realizes that she is truly in love and is lucky to have any husband at all, and will not, as the villagers say, "lead apes to hell" (Draper 95). The ironic counterpoint of their relationship is that while Katharina is easily tamed, Bianca, who needs no taming, is difficult for Lucentio to tolerate.

Kate is venting her anger that Bianca should be able to get suitors while she remains alone. Kate knows that she is a smart and fiery woman and wouldn't be satisfied with such wimpy men as Gremio and Hortensio. She needs a strong man to go with her own strong and powerful personality. When Baptista enters and comes to Bianca's rescue, we find out what is really the cause of Kate's behavior: She's angry that Baptista likes her younger sister better than her. Kate tells her father, that Bianca is his "treasure" and "must have a husband" while she, embarrassed, dances "barefoot on her wedding day" and leads "apes in hell" (II.1, 31–36).
