Prompt 1: A film and a book can be very similar when they’re based on the same story but there will always be slight differences due to the author’s perceptions. In the film “10 Things I Hate About You” there is a wealthy, fierce, witty teenager named Kat who steers men away at the blink of an eye; she has a strong aggression that scares people away. As the story proceeds her man-free life ends as she begins to be wooed by a guy named Patrick who is bribed to date her so that Kat’s sister, Bianca, is released from her dad’s control and therefore allowed to date. Visually, it is seen that Kat and Patrick get to know each other better over the course of the few dates Patrick worked so hard to get Kat to attend. Kat quickly falls in love and …show more content…
The rejection sets Kat overboard and her aggression spews out once again. In an attempt to regain Kat’s love, Patrick embarrasses himself by creating a grand singing scene in front of the whole school. By doing this big performance he lands himself detention in which Kat shows her forgiveness by diverging a distraction to help Patrick escape. Kats way of distraction was very out of character compared to her normal self; she flashed the detention teacher. After the following few days, another bump in the road occurs; At Prom Kat finds out that Patrick was being paid the whole time to go out with her. Once again, Patrick works hard to prove he truly has fallen in love with Kat. By way of apology, Patrick buys Kat her favorite guitar with all the money he has received from the beginning deal. This proof of love is enough for Kat and they date for good this time …show more content…
These types of relationships were very common back in the 1590’s. One main piece of evidence that Shakespeare uses to show the overuse of power by father toward their children is when Baptist states, “For I am firmly resolved not to et my youngest daughter marry before I have a husband for the elder daughter, If either of you love Katherine, because I know you well and love you well, you shall have my permission to court her at your pleasure” (Shakespeare, 31). Baptista is putting control in place over his daughters so that they can’t easily marry and move out. The main reasoning Baptista uses these specific words to ward off suitors is because it is very unlikely the eldest daughter will marry and even if she finds someone, her dad must approve first. Similarly, in a husband-wife relationship, the man is also seen to overuse his power. The most prominent husband shown in the story, Petruchio, is very controlling over his wife. Petruchio tells Katherine, his wife, “Pay attention to what I speak, or do, or think to do” (Shakespeare, 165). By telling Katherine this he is basically warning her that she must do and listen to everything he says. As well, the control over a man's wife is shown when Katherine states, “your husband is your lord, your life, your keeper, your head, your ruler, one that cares
In the novel Othello, written by William Shakespeare, there are a variety of ways in which women are portrayed. There are strong willed women such as Emilia, who stands up to the men, especially to her husband. If he is wrong she would openly admit that he is incorrect. There are also women who are thought to be a possession as well as extremely submissive to their husbands such as Desdemona. She is the type of woman that will obey her husband to the day she dies. Desdemona believes that her husband is always right and he will never do anything that will lead her into the wrong direction. Many of the women in this time thought the same way. They are viewed as house workers, cooks, and teachers to the children. In addition to those qualities women obtain, having no authority in marriages is also added to the list. In this novel, there is judgment against women because they are “unequal” to men. They are not allowed to do the same as men for the reason that they do not possess the same qualities as men. Men were considered to be superior to women. Women were treated as their “slaves.” In contrast, today’s time women now have power. They have the right to vote, run for office, and even work outside their homes. Women now play the part as the male and female figure in the households. They are considered independent women, not relying on a male figure. Even if they are married now, they do not listen to everything that their husbands tell them to do. It states in the Bible that a male figure is the head of the households; however women today have strayed away from that view that they had back then. They want to be the dominate figure. Times have really changed from the past to the present. W...
These examples were the un-wed daughters, Katherine and Bianca, of Baptista Minola, a wealthy man living in Padua wishing to marry them to eligible bachelors. Interestingly, by using two sisters close enough in age to both be married, he shows these two different sides of femininity while introducing other aspects such as jealousy and competition to his construction. To display the double edge sword that is femininity in the “Taming of The Shrew” the use of Katherine and Bianca is interesting because between sisters there is oftentimes competition and jealousy that stems from childhood. This element of competition makes the differences between the two young women even more apparent. The contrast between the two sisters is made clear as soon as they are introduced in the first act when Gremio says “To cart her rather! She’s too rough for me. There, there, Hortensio, will you any wife” ( 1.1.55) This quote comes after Baptista offers up his eldest daughter, Katherine, for marriage. Katherine is strong willed, she has a very sharp tongue and has no problem with letting anyone know what she thinks. This is a problem for a lot of men which can be seen in Gremio’s
The difference in the film and the novel alter the depiction of the love affair between Tristan and Iseult and Patrice and Natalie. While the novel portrays Tristan and Iseult as causing the suffering they endure because of their love, the film makes Patrice and Natalie the victims of faith and love.

Though the events and a lot of the dialogue are the same in both the book and the movie the crux of the two are completely different. The book focuses a lot more on sexual tension and sexual exploration. The...
Men over power any ladies opinion if they belong to them. Petruchio finds out about the opportunity to marry Katherine and decides he will be the one to wed her since no one else will. He says to Baptista, “Am bold to show myself a forward guest. Within your house, to make mine eye the witness. Of that report which I so oft have heard” (Shakespeare II.i. 54-56). Men have so much power even over their daughters. They decide who they could marry
The one who truly loved her, is the one who sacrifices everything. One of them left her loved one; one of them got thrown in the jail; one of them lost her husband and moved out of that community, and one of them died. All this, is because of Patrick’s decision.
Katrina Stratford and Patrick Verona are two of the main characters in the movie. They are both individual and are seen as social outcasts. An example that leads to shows their individuality is when in a science class, Patrick lights a cigarette over a Bunsen burner and later drills a hole in Cameron’s book when he tried to approach Patrick. This shows how Patrick has an I-don’t-care attitude but is also seen by others as “cool” and “scary”. But this is only by reputation, after he meets Kat; he is able to his true self because he knows he isn’t going to be judged

During the Middle Ages and Renaissance period marriage and love were idealized, divine and celebrated. Weddings were large events that included the entire families of both the groom and the bride. Reality was different; women were viewed as being fickle, inferior to men and a possession of men. Women had very little, if any, choice in who they would marry. Marriages were arranged so that both families would benefit in gaining wealth or power. Even though the ruler of England for over 4 decades was female, women were still not respected. Women were kept at home and not allowed to take place in public events. In Shakespeare’s Richard III, male and female relationships are displayed as deeply cynical and are based on lies, lust and political gain.
Stark contrasts exist between the description of the characters and emotional content between the book and the movie. This may be mainly due to the limited length of the movie. In the movie, Rat Kiley who is telling the story seems gentler. In the book they make it seem like everything Rat says is exaggerated, but the movie does not stress that fact. “Among the men in Alpha Company, Rat had a reputation for exaggeration and overstatement, a compulsion to rev up the facts, and for most of us it was normal procedure to discount sixty or seventy percent of anything he had to say” (O’Brien 89). Also, the movie emphasizes the fact that Rat Kiley fell in love with Mary Anne Bell. He himself says he loved her towards the end of the movie. A character that people may tend to have sympathy for is Mark Fossie. In the book, one may not feel for Fossie. The movie shows the character having more feeling especially after he couldn’t find Mary Anne. A third character that is portrayed differently in the movie than in the book is Mary Anne, who is the main female character of the chapter. The movie stressed the fact that Mary Anne wanted to learn more about the Vietnamese way of life. There was a scene in the movie where Mary Anne spent time with the Vietnamese soldiers learning their language and how to cook their food. They also show her going ...
For example Norman and Jesse are married way before Norman meets Neal (Jesse’s brother). In the movie Norman meets Neal while is he still courting Jesse. This brings forth another difference Norman doesn’t date Jesse in the book. When Jesse is first introduced, she is already married to Norman. A viewer of the movie who has read the book might also notice that when Norman is never offered a job to teach at Chicago University in the novel. Another big difference between the movie and the novel is the role that Norman’s mother plays, she is a very lively, dynamic character in the book, but in the film she is depicted to a flat character. Paul and Norman have equal fly-fishing skills, but in the movie Norman is just a mere amateur compared to Paul. Rev. Maclean expresses displeasure with Paul's decision to change the spelling of the family name in both version of the story. Someone who might have read the book may believe that the movie didn’t do the book justice when showing Paul’s struggle with his alcohol and gambling addictions. Norman offers to help Paul out with is personal struggles when he is driving Paul and his girlfriend home after a long night of drinking. The offer to help in the novel is done when Paul and Norman go fishing. Some other differences are Rev. Maclean’s personally is almost completely lost in the movie and his most important line “you can love completely without complete understanding” (a
Hatred. A feeling that can destroy what we have and take what we love. We all are victims of Hatred’s sinister claws and razor sharp teeth, pulling us into its depths of decay. With all of the bias and effects that Hatred brings to us, sometimes we cannot help but give back what we have gotten. King’s novel, “Carrie,” and xxxDejixxx’s poem, “Treat others the way you want to be treated,” indicate that you reap what you sow.
She is wearing light colored clothing, her hair is down, and she is also kissing Patrick in the middle of the campus. This shows a huge change in Kat’s character. The light clothing shows the difference in the “darkness” of her personality before and her personality at the end of the movie. This scene shows that she is now more laid back, and less uptight than before. Having her hair down shows a permanent change in her personality, as it is continuous through two different scenes. Finally, kissing Patrick in the middle of campus is crucial. She is now in the middle of campus, acting as a “normal” student at the high school, not as an outcast as she had been at the beginning of the
King Lear follows the story of King Lear and his three daughters, Cordelia, Goneril and Regan. King Lear decides to resign from the throne and distribute his kingdom amongst his daughters but their amount is decided based on how they answer his question; “Tell me, my daughters (since now we will divest us both of rule, interest of territory, cares of state), which of you shall we say doth love us most, that we our largest bounty may extend.” When construed from a feministic evaluation, it is apparent that Shakespeare’s King Lear encompasses misogynistic implications. Goneril and Regan both answer him with flattery and excessive devotion but Cordelia answers with
