I Hate Myself

Welcome To My Life. Why do I hate myself? Hmmm, let’s start from the beginning shall we? My birth mother. No, she didn’t run off. No, she didn’t abuse me. She had sex with my birth father and made me. The problem, though, wasn’t my birth. The problem was the fact that I was their second child. Again, no, I don’t live in the shadow of a dominant older sibling. It’s not like that at all. The problem, my dear friend, is the simple fact that the bitch couldn’t keep one kid. Now tell me, why the hell

“And I have thrust myself into this maze, Happily to wive and thrive, as best I may” (Shakespeare 24.) As one watches the films “Taming of the shrew” and “10 Things I Hate About you,” there are some similarities and differences between the two. Some are very sizeable while others are harmless to the plot. The similarities and differences vary from location to characters. The ones standing out the most seem to be certain characters, setting details, and also the willingness of Baptista to let his

adaptation ‘10 Things I Hate About You’, and Franco Zeffirelli’s 1967 version of ‘The Taming of the Shrew’. Both films show elements of similar society ideologies, such as masculinity and femininity which are portrayed through the main characters; Katherine, Kat, Petruchio and Patrick.

The film has a hilarious script with ingenious lines, both original and borrowed from Shakespeare himself. One of my personal favorites is, “I don't like to do what people expect. Why should I live up to other people's expectations instead of my own?” I am a firm believer

10 Things I Hate About You takes William Shakespeare’s classic play, The Taming of the Shrew and manages to make it relevant to a modern audience. The story remains the same with the younger sister, Bianca, not allowed to have a relationship until her older sister, Kat, does. They did maintain several original scenes and even used several direct quotes from the original play. The writers have eliminated some of Bianca’s suitors and changed the way Kat is tamed to appeal to a modern audience.

The Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I Hate about You are romantic comedies. Even though they are written 400 years apart, they have many similarities. The many similarities are because 10 Things I Hate About You was loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew. However, there are some differences in some of the characters.

In 10 Things I Hate About You and Taming of the Shrew, there are many things that are similar and there are many differences. I will tell you about both in this paper. Oh Taming of the Shrew, "How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways." This Shakespearean play was awful to me. It was very boring and hard to follow, even for me to follow. Also, the way they portray Kat as an angry horrible woman, and that no man will love her for that upsets me. She is a strong willed woman who has her own opinion

women are confronted with gender stereotypes daily. In the texts Ten Things I Hate about You, The Big Bang Theory, I’m Glad I’m a Boy! I’m Glad I’m a Girl! By Whitney Darrow and ‘Stupid Girls’ by Pink, the roles of men and women are perceived in different ways. Some characters in each text challenge the typical stereotype whilst others accept it. In each text women are portrayed in various ways. In the movie 10 things I Hate About You the two main characters Kat and Bianca are portrayed very differently
