The three major differences between 10 things I hate about you and the Taming of the Shrew are the focus of the story, the collection of the characters, and the way the author drew their conclusions.
10 things I hate about you focused on the interaction between the two sisters, and eventually lead to mutual understanding and seeking the best partners. On the other hand, the Taming of the Shrew focused on the relationship between the husband and wife. The love that existed between Petruchio and Katherine. The play of Shakespeare narrowed the scope of the tale into the later affairs between the spouses, but the movie includes numerous incidents of couples, best friends, rivals, etc.
10 things I hate about you has a blend of characters, while the Taming of the Shrew relied on a more simplistic approach. Michael was a character in 10 Things I hate about you that constituently sacrificed his own pride to help out his friend Cameron and eventually Patrick. Nevertheless, the Taming of the Shrew presented a more straightforward story that focused on the courage of Petruchio, and omitted the complications that might becloud the theme of the tale.
10 things I hate about you’s climax was the Prom and Taming of the Shrew’s climax was the betting by the husbands about the obedience of their wives. Shakespeare clearly defined his play as a comedy at the scene when Petruchio outsmarted all his opponents. However, the prom of 10 things I hate about you was a gloomy moment that led to poem of confession, the guitar, then the happy ending. The structure of the tales differed. The movie tends to have a denouements and falling action, while the play wrapped up the tale soon after the climax.
10 things I hate about you is not merely an adaptation; it added new elements that were not presented in Shakespeare’s play - the Taming of the Shrew. The blend between pop culture and British Literature has give raise to one of the most intriguing movies of all time.
