Taming of the Shrew and 10 things I hate about you

The movie "Ten Things I hate about you" was successful in capturing that essence of "Taming of the Shrew" in a modern context, to a great extent. Most of what made the movie so great was how they portrayed the development of Katherines conforming to what society deemed acceptable. Though done much differently, Patrick (Petruchio) successfully tamed her to the point where by the end of the movie she acted her age, and wasn't so cold any longer. The Bianca in the movie was also done well to contrast the one from the play, in how she acted ditzy and innocent, while the story progressed we saw her truer colors appear. She became more of an individual thinker, her traits becoming a little closer to that of what we saw her sister had. There were differences though, as we saw less suitors such as Gremio being more subtley played  by a character named Bogie, who played no real role in the romance.
