doesn’t necessarily mean we should. People make decisions based on what’s expected of them, but becoming “what you are capable of becoming” doesn’t always mean becoming something you are happy with. When the people all around you expect you to be something, when you just want to be someone else, it can foster unhappiness and loneliness. Goethe believes that,“if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming,” you’ll become successful. But what happens when everyone has different…

Motivation Recently I watched a movie called 10 Things I Hate About You (1999). One of the main characters of the movie: ‘Kat’, is a teenager in high school who does not fit in with her peers and completely rejects social norms.

center of our entertainment. Despite facing all sorts of obstacles of its own, this genre has survived, and with most of its key attributes kept alive. Romantic comedies, from Plautus’ famous “Miles Gloriosus,” to director Gil Junger’s “10 Things I Hate About You,” are a vital part of our culture, and, though they are centuries apart, actually have a lot in common, from their events to their characters.

In Shakespeare’s Taming of a Shrew, the majority of the plot revolves around how Bianca can’t date until Katharina can date. The movie, “10 Things I Hate about You”, is essentially the same way.

the movie 10 Things I Hate About You and the play Taming of the Shrew. Petruchio and Patrick are motivated for different things.

anyone ever make you feel like you do not deserve what you want, go for it.” That is what Patrick told Cameron as he was losing his confidence in winning the girl of his dreams, Bianca.
