William Shakespeare Sonnet

William Shakespeare sonnetComparisons between Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smiths 10 Things I hate virtually You and William Shakespeares The Taming of the shrew and references to William Shakespeares Sonnet 141Numerous different people have adapted or remade William Shakespeares work The Taming of the Shrew since he wrote it. One of those adaptations is Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smiths 10 Things I Hate About You and has many direct and indirect references to Shakespeares The Taming.First off, the similarity in the naming of the primary characters, the two sisters in The Taming are named Katherina and Bianca, in 10 Things Katarina and Bianca. In 10 Things the girls last name is Stratford undoubtedly a reference to Stratford-Upon-Avon where Shakespeare was born. Petruchio of Verona in The Taming closely resembles Patrick Verona of 10 Things The story lines mirror each other closely. Shakespeares Lucentio wants to marry Bianca but is unable(p) to until her older sister is p rototypal wed. In 10 Things Joey is in the akin situation wanting to date Bianca but she is unable to until her older sister starts dating. In both works, Petruchio and Patrick are relatively unjazzns from out of town. In The Taming Hortensio has disguised himself as a music teacher, so that he can spend quantify with Bianca and address her secretly. Looking at 10 Things Cameron becomes a French tutor to Bianca because he wants to be around Bianca and hopes to woo her as well. in that respect are other points in 10 Things that reference Shakespeare, in Wikipedia it is noted thatAt several points the characters also either directly quote Shakespeare or allude to his style of writing in their own speech, typically for comedic value. For example, upon seeing Bianca for the first time, Cameron declares, I burn, I pine, I perish (10 things)Which is a direct quote from The Taming that Lucento theorises in Act I motion picture i.Tranio, I burn, I pine, I perish, Tranio, If I achieve n ot this young modest girl.Counsel me, Tranio, for I know thou canst Assist me, Tranio, for I know thou wilt (The Taming).What Lucento is saying is that he wants to wed Bianca and he is asking Tranio, his servant, how he can achieve this. Continuing from Wikipedia, Also, when Michael pulls out on his motorbike in front of Katarina and she apprehends him, he calls her the shrew. (10 things) I found this to be very interesting as many modern students have a very hard time relating to Shakespeare. This was a very bold move by Lutz and Smith and in 10 Things they really pulled it off well in that I did not level(p) notice it the first few times that I watched it. Once I did notice this, I felt that the bringing the classics to the modern screen enhanced this word picture even more.Katharina has the homework assignment to write her own version of Shakespeares Sonnet 141. Her poem 10 things I hate about you obviously becomes the title of the movie. The first two lines of Sonnet 141 read, In faith, I do not love life thee with mine eyes, For they in thee a thousand errors note (Sonnet)What it seems that Shakespeare is saying I love you but not for your physical beauty in Katharinas version she states, I hate the vogue you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair (10 things). Not an postulate match but her poem reflects what Shakespeare was conveying in Sonnet 141 which I see as, you are not perfect but I love you in so many ways nonetheless. This can also be seen in next two lines of Sonnet 141 only when tis my heart that loves what they despise,Who, in despite of view, is pleasd to dote. (Sonnet)Which say that no matter what some see I will dote on you because my heart loves what others may not like. The rest of Sonnet 141 is much the same just stated much more eloquently by Shakespeare. The last line of Katharinas version is,But largely I hate the way I dont hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all (10 Things)This is in essence exact ly what Shakespeare says in Sonnet 141 just taking the reverse, he loves her yet he cannot say why and Kat says I should hate you but I do not.There are other correlations between 10 Things I Hate About You and The Taming of the Shrew beyond what I have shown here. I believe that this was an excellent modernizing of a truly great work of Shakespeares. 10 Things uses a classic story bringing it to a new generation even if they do not assure it. Most will agree that the movie was purely for entertainment but who knows they may have learned something along the way.Work Cited10 Things I Hate About You.

I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick it even makes me rhyme. I hate the way youre always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when youre not around, and the fact that you didnt call. But mostly I hate the way I dont hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. Sonnet 141 by William ShakespeareIn faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,For they in thee a thousand errors noteBut tis my heart that loves what they despise,Who, in despite of view, is pleasd to dote.Nor are mine ears with thy tongues tune delightedNor tender feeling, to base touches prone.Nor taste nor smell desire to be invitedTo any sensual feast with thee aloneBut my five wits nor my five senses c anDissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,Who leaves unswayd the likeness of a man,Thy proud hearts slave and liege lord wretch to beOnly my plague thus far I count my gain,That she that makes me sin awards me pain
