The characters explored in Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I Hate About You, are similar. The main characters have similar or the same names, for example Katerina becomes Katherine, Bianca’s name stays the same, and Petruccio who is Patrick.
One similar theme explored in both of the plays is disguise. Although Taming of the Shrew uses this theme more, there are disguises in 10 Things I Hate About You, such as when Cameron says that he is a French tutor, or when Patrick acts as though he really likes Katherine. Both the plots and the themes are similar in the two plays.
