The Taming of the Shrew vs. ... The movie 10 Things I Hate About You is loosely based on William Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. ... In the play Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare once again, the younger and more popular sister Bianca, is punished for the crude behavior of her sister Katherina, in that her father willnot allow her to marry until her sister does. ... Finally, Petruchio is able to break Kate out of her “shrew” behavior and whatever Petruchio had to say, no matter how crazy it sounded, Kate would agree. ... She had finally realized how wrong she was for being such a shrew all that time. ... This proved that Petruchio was finally able to tame the “Shrew”, his wife, Katherina. ... The father of the two daughters is the problem in both stories with his rule that the younger “fair” daughter can not be in a relationship until the older “shrew” does the same. In Taming of the Shrew, the character of Petruchio is given money and land by Katherina’s father to pursue her, and in 10 Things I Hate About You, Patrick is given money by Joey, the jock who wants Bianca, to do the same. ... This is similar to Patricia’s (Taming of the Shrew) outrageous appearance as the “mad-brained Bridegroom” who dressed like a clown, handcuffed the priest, and carried off his bride. In Taming of the Shrew, the character of Lucentio is new to the town of Padua and when he spots Bianca he immediately falls in love. ... However, in Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio does the taming in a much harsher way. ... In Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio announces his motive from the beginning, stating “I come to wive it wealthily in Padua. ... Another variation in the two stories is that the father in Taming of the Shrew tried to get rid of his daughters, going as far as even paying Petruchio to marry Katherina. ... In addition, 10 Things I Hate About you deals with the status of the girls’ relationships with regards to dating, whereas in Taming of the Shrew is about their future marriages. In addition to the similarities in plots and characters in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I Hate About You, there are also several Shakespearean references in the movie adaptation. For example, in Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio went to Padua to find himself a wife, and in 10 Things I Hate About You, the name of the high school was Padua High.
