“the Taming of the Shrew” vs “10 Things I Hate About You”

The obvious difference between the two texts is the use different mediums of production. The play is performed on stage in real time and the adaption is a modern teen film using a classic teen format. Both are comedies and belong to the popular culture of their time. The difference in the two mediums is that one is predominately language based, with the visuals as an extra and the film is mostly visual, enhanced by good dialogue, music, sound effects and cinematography. Obviously the language has evolved over 450 years, yet both are colloquial and specific to the characters. Taming is set in Padua,

One of these key differences can be found through the attitudes and portrayals of each of the characters. Baptista Minola, (the father of Bianca and Katherine) in the play, is a very respectable and confident man. But in the movie he acts extremely timid and scared;

To make a modern adaptation of a highly recognised 16th century play, one would have to have a perfect mix of both similarities and differences between the two, integrating elements from both eras. Junger, the director of 10 Things I Hate About You has managed to achieve this. By using many of the same characters and the same plot from Taming of the Shrew, he created a modernised appropriation of the Shakespeare play that incorporates aspects of teen society. The Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I Hate About You are similar in many ways, one way they are different however is how since the Elizabethan Era the nature and role of women in society has changed considerably.

     Now how about some similarities. My first similarity is in both versions how the people carried around weapons. In the old one the people of Verona carried swords. In the modern version of the play the people of Verona carried handguns. Two different weapons, but they were used in the same fashion in both versions of the play. Another likeness is Paris didn’t bite the dust in any of the versions. He is only in a few scenes. He’s not even in the last scene where he was supposed to meet his maker. While on the subject of death, Lady Montague does not die in either version. She is seen exiting the final scene in both versions. She doesn’t even have a big role in the story. My next similarity is the

Another difference is the presence of three judges in the movie, whereas in the play there were only two, both of whom where made out to be "bad guys." One additional judge is added in the movie possibly to show that it was not the entirety of the Church that was unjust, cruel, and nearly ignorant. I

The characters throughout both film and book counterpart each other very distinctively and the same go for their roles. For example, Bianca Minola in “Taming of the Shrew” is very much so alike Bianca Stratford (10 Things I Hate About You) they both are considered that of a snotty sophomore, model of obedience and modesty with beyond exceptional looks which explains very much so why both are hugely admired by a following of men who want to pursue their hearts. In Taming of the Shrew, we do not discern much of Bianca her only role is to basically be chased around by the men who vastly admire her and are out to conceal her

Both plots are the same in the movie and the play. Both are based on a love and relationships. The relationships are different between the movie and the play. In the movie it was based around the females and their control of men. The play it is geared around the men and their strong leadership and controlling with the women. Even showed females are the property of the husband. In the Taming of the Shrew and the movie showed compromises within the different relationships with the characters.

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

The Taming of the Shrew is one of Shakespeare's most famous plays, and has weathered well into our modern era. For all the praises it has garnered throughout the centuries, it is curious to note that many have considered it to be one of his most controversial in his treatment of women. The "taming" of Katherine has been contended as being excessively cruel by many writers and critics of the modern era. George Bernard Shaw himself pressed for its banning during the 19th century. The subservience of Katherine has been labeled as barbaric, antiquated, and generally demeaning. The play centers on her and her lack of suitors. It establishes in the first act her shrewish demeanor and its repercussions on her family. It is only with the introduction of the witty Petruchio as her suitor, that one begins to see an evolution in her character. Through an elaborate charade of humiliating behavior, Petruchio humbles her and by the end

The effect the men have on the women as well as the effect the women have on the men is seen in Shakespeare's “Taming of the Shrew” and the movie “10 Things I Hate About You”. The reason the characters are the way they are at the end of the play and the movie is because of the people around them. The changes that occurred in Katherine and Kat as well as the changes that occurred in Petruchio and Patrick throughout the play and the movie are due to gender identity. People can change others in many different ways. Some people change for the better and some people change for the worse. Both of these situations occur both in the book “Taming of the Shrew” as well as the movie “Ten things I Hate About You”.
