Ten Things I Hate About You VS The Taming of the Shrew

The movie "Ten things I hate about you" directed by Gil Junger and the play "Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare both  have the same overall meaning, you should never use the first impression as the last impression. In the movie, Kate, who is usually referred to as a "heinous bitch" made the decision not to date guys after the first relationship ended badly. She thought all guys were like that just by judging her first boyfriend. If she never had the guts to date the new guy she would have never dated anyone again. Evidently in "Taming of the Shrew" Katherine portrays that she is a very shrewd and harsh individual who is not at all interested in Petrucio. The men who have been offered to woo  Katherine say"[...] though her father be very rich, any man is so very a fool to be married to hell,"  also implying that she is never to be wooed. In the end Katherine is tamed and the other men see her as a fine wife rather than a shrew. However is that a good thing? The"Taming of the Shrew"  has numerous themes which are power and language, the performance of class, marriage. But overall, love and money are the most  noticable themes, considering in the beginning Petrucio only wanted to tame Katherine for her dowery. Whereas in the movie, defining love seems to be the main and most important point. In the end, both the play and the movie are very similar, however the play does stray when wealth comes into the picture.
