Ten Things I Hate about You: A Novelisation

Product Information

Kat’s surly, antisocial demeanor, naturally, makes her the quintessential reader—her face constantly buried in a book, whether it’s The Bell Jaror The Feminine Mystique(yes, another unabashed cliché of the “angry white feminist”). Yet hers isn’t the only character given a literary bent. Nice Guys Finish Last: Cameron uses him having "learned French for her" as an argument why Bianca should have been nicer to him and not run off with the jerkish Joey.

Compensating for Something: Joey's expensive sports car is implied to be to cover up the Teeny Weenie. Ten Things I Hate About You study guide contains a biography of Andrew Lazar, literature essays, quiz questions, major themes, characters, and a full summary and analysis. The other approach is the one I'm trying to use: instead of trying to be someone you're not, you can simply try to emphasize who you really are.”Nguyen, Hanh (October 8, 2008).

Nonetheless, Kat still feels stifled by Mr. Morgan, and, rightly, just about every other male presence she’s forced to be around. It doesn’t help that she’s constantly sent to see the guidance counselor, Ms. Perky (Allison Janney)—too busy writing a romance novel to worry much about giving valuable advice. Kat is thus forced to remind her, “Expressing my opinion is not a terrorist action.” But of course it is, because any time a woman, regardless of color, expresses her opinion too “indelicately,” it’s constantly seen as a “terrorist action.” Or at least worthy of being branded as a “bitch.” Geoff Andrew from Time Out praised the film's leads, writing, "Stiles grows into her character, and Ledger is effortlessly charming." [10] Brad Laidman of Film Threat said the film was "pure of heart and perfectly executed." [11] Ron Wells, also of Film Threat, wrote, "Of all the teen films released this year, this one is, by far, the best." [12] Roger Ebert gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying that he "liked the movie's spirit, the actors and some of the scenes. The music, much of it by the band Letters to Cleo, is subtle and inventive while still cheerful. The movie almost but not quite achieves liftoff against the gravitational pull of the tired story formula." [13] Entertainment Weekly put the film 49th on its list of Best High School Movies.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Chastity reveals her true colours at Bogey's party when she goes off with Joey afterwards (Bianca even calls her a bitch after that happens), then shows up at the prom with Joey seemingly just to rub it in Bianca's face that Joey was going to nail her after the prom all because of a bet with his friends. Can I just say that I was totally disappointed by the way it was written? No, seriously, it was really badly written (well, for me, okay). And I can't even think that Levithan wrote it. I mean, I love WGWG and NNIP. It was written through different point of views. It was just like a run-down of the script with more monologue per character. So when I read this, goodness, I felt like I was reading a copy that should probably undergo a lot of editing. So here are two sentences I find to be an insult to the english grammar or actually, to the literary context itself and of course, to the movie! The story follows Kat as she tries to navigate her way through the social hierarchy of her high school. She has a group of friends that she is very close to, but she also has a lot of enemies. She is constantly at odds with the popular girls in her school, and she is also constantly being pursued by the guys. Kaplan, Ilana (March 27, 2019). " '10 Things I Hate About You': When Heath Ledger Was Just Breaking Through". The New York Times.Does Not Like Men: Kat, in keeping with the original, won't deign to date the "unwashed miscreants" at the school. It's eventually subverted, however. This modern rendition of the drama has its charms. It slips in a couple of allusions to The Bard ( Macbeth"s " Who could refrain that...in that heart [had] courage to make love known?"; and " Sweet love, renew thy force!" from Sonnet LVI.) She really believes this. And the reason she does is because she can't conceive that there's any other way to live her life." The movie, 10 Things I Hate About You is absolutely my favorite movie or well, one of my favorites. I love the story, the characters and the plot itself. It's just so sweet and cute. In short, I totally love it despite the inconsistencies of some scenes.

Shakespeare continues to abound in lines regurgitated from the mouths of the characters, including Michael in his approach to wooing Kat’s best and only friend, Mandella (Susan May Pratt). Mainly because, well, she claims to be “involved” with William already. Thus, Michael quotes to her from Macbeth, “Who could refrain that had a heart and in that heart courage to make love known?” Which Michael chooses to do by going along with this charade and dressing up in Renaissance-era clothing to appease Mandella’s fetish for pretending she’s dating Shakespeare. What are the two house rules? Number one, no dating 'til you graduate. Number two, no dating 'til you graduate."

First of all...I absolutely love this film...like to the point I can repeat 3/4 of the film while its on, and it never fails to make me cry!
