Methodology Read the original text of The Taming of the Shrew Watched 1967 adaptation of the play Watched 10 Things I Hate About You multiple times for analysis (and leisure) Compared original text to 10 Things I Hate About You after reading several pieces of literature on both forms of media

Research Questions What are the differences and similarities between the original text of The Taming of the Shrew and the romantic comedy, 10 Things I Hate About You ? – What causes Kat/Kate to behave the way she does? Why does she have a negative attitude? – What causes others to believe Kat/Kate has a bad reputation?

Observations Kat’s emotional pain and sexual history Feeling of guilt and peer pressure Gender in the play and the film Kat’s grunge style and feminist lines

Discussion Would Kat act differently if she didn’t identify with feminism? Would feminism be compared to a counterculture today? What if Kat didn’t have the reputation of a modernized shrew? Would it change the way we see gender inequality in the story?

Conclusions Gender inequality and female representation Feminism as a countercultural metaphor Comparing and contrasting 16 th century shrew to 21 st century Kat Stratford Kat’s personality, as seen as a grunge feminist
