Father Daughter Relationship

Improved Essays
It is mind boggling how the plot of two stories can be different even if they are both based on the same subject. There is a loved younger sister who is not allowed to be in a relationship with any guys until her scary and frowned-upon older sister finds a man of her own. Eventually there is a guy who is intrigued in the older sister allowing the younger sister to date. Both couples find someone they really like and fall in love. The relationships between the characters in The Taming of the Shrew and 10 Things I Hate About You effects the plot of the story and it is clear that the plot of 10 things I hate about you has better character development. The relationship between the father and his two daughters had almost no similarities. The only one being that Baptista Minola did not want his younger daughter Bianca marrying until his older daughter, Kate, has a man of her own to wed. Similarly, Walter Stratford made a rule that his younger daughter Bianca could not date until his older daughter Kat started …show more content…
Both movies do a good job at telling their story but the relationships between the characters change the plot completely. In The Taming of the Shrew the relationship between the father and his daughters was lacking, which took away from the story. Unlike the relationship of the kids and father which had a lot of content and many interactions which made you understand the characters better. The relationship between the two sisters in The Taming of the Shrew was also lacking. It was really plain and simple, hardly focusing on any familial relationships which made it feel like it was missing something. While in 10 Things I Hate About You they had many interactions. Their relationship even evolved throughout the movie which made you feel closer to the characters. This clearly shows that the plot of 10 things I hate about you has better character

    One difference involves women and social class. The Taming of the Shrew had stronger female roles than Julius Caesar. Katherine and Bianca were the main focus of their play, while Calpurnia and Cleopatra were just accessories to Caesar. One play was focused solely on the daughters while the other was more towards war and a strong male role. A second difference would be what kind of power was wanted in each play.…

    A father’s relationship with his son can be a burden, or so loving that it becomes his son’s saving grace. This was a concept demonstrated in Night by Elie Wiesel and the film Life is Beautiful, for although they explored two unique father-son relationships, Elie had to become paternal so to protect his father, while Joshua was consistently cared for by Guido. Unlike Joshua, Elie became an adult as soon as he entered his concentrations camp. Upon arriving, Elie was separated from his mother and sister–who he would unknowingly never see again–and instructed to lie about his age, claiming he was 18 rather than 15.…

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…

    Revenge, death, and marriage are ideas that are completely different from each other, but are all some major themes that can appear in many stories or plays. They can be used as one theme, or be tied together with another to create an intriguing story.

The Taming of the Shrew tells the story of how Katherine, a wealthy shrew, is “tamed” by Petruchio, a man who marries her for money. William Shakespeare’s plays Hamlet and The Taming of the Shrew have some elements such as family relationships, roles of women in society, and marriage woven into their stories that make them different and similar in many ways.…
