‘Change’ story (Picture of clock) I think change really is impalpable. We all fear it. We regret not hindering change while the chance is there – and once we realise its poison to us, it’s too late to turn back. I think we habitually – yet completely subconsciously are ignorant to it, and one day we actually wake up only to find that things aren’t the same as yesterday, but different in ways we just can’t seem to grasp.

free from such situation. I found it, thank God. Some people say that I’m one of an influential person because I look reliable and dependable. I must say, that kind of people look at me superficially, because the thing is that I am reliant and dependent. Not in a way that when I do this and that, I need someone to back me up.

10 Things I Hate About You and the Pursuit of Happiness 10 Things I Hate About You is a Shakespearian parody that is based on his literary work, Taming the Shrew, but also pays homage to his other works as well. This film is a loose adaptation that uses modern day teenage problems and settings as well as modern day language in place of Shakespeare’s old world customs and a language that has long since been put to rest. While this film has many archetypical characters, concepts, themes and symbols

The Shrew And The Strength Katherine is a very complex character in Taming Of The Shrew and Ten Things I Hate About You. Kat knows exactly where she stands and is confident enough to open her mouth even when it can be little overbearing. Kat has a strong sense of self but can be blinded by love and I use the term “love” loosely in her taming of the shrew self because she isn’t really loved she is “loved’ because is tamed. In the movie though she is much harder to barge from the anchors the hold

William Shakespeare wrote “The Taming of the Shrew” and in 1999 “10 Things I Hate About You” made its debut in theaters as a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s play.

In the 1600’s, relationships and love were very rare, men just wanted to marry the most beautiful woman; whereas in modern times, relationships are portrayed as much more casual. In Shakespeare’s

The Taming of the Shrew seems to have a clear message that the green world theory does not define the structure of the play and that Petruchio tames Katherine. While this could be an interpretation of the play, I find it unlikely that this is the case. The analysis of the film, 10 Things I Hate About You, opens the door visually to see the green world theory in action, which allows the reader to appreciate The Taming of the Shrew as a comedy as well as reinterpret its conclusion. The green world theory
