Taming

I'm curious as to why Kate didn't put up a bigger fight with Petruccio when he told her they would be married. She acted like a shrew with him, but not nearly as bad as others. Did she meet her match perhaps? Even at the wedding she didn't put up a shrewish fight with anyone really. By the way, has anyone seen 10 Things I hate about you? Just curious.

Before this class, 10 Things I Hate About You was the only experience I had with this story. I was expecting a lighter comedy because of 10 things, not a story about starvation and hypnotism, (although it was still funny at times). I can still see how the movie cam claim to be based on the play, but after reading Shakespeares version and the folklore article, it's interesting to see how much the movie is skewed to be a happy go lucky teen chick flick.
