==[|Male/female expectations in relationships -][|Boyfriend/Girlfriend as a status symbol/possession].== Comparing "Taming of the Shrew" to "Hitch"

In "Taming of the Shrew" Petruchio hears that Kathrine one of the daughters of Baptisa can't be tamed. While he hears this his confidence goes up because he think he can do it he thinks he can tame her get her to fall in love with him.

In "Shrew" Petruchio said they he could tame Kathrine just like Will Smith said in "Hitch" he could help any guy get that girl. Kathrine in "Shrew" said that she would never fall in love just like Eva Mendes said in "Hitch" she wouldn't date. They both feel like it's possession or status not love or anything.

Now in "Shrew" Petruchio's only roadblock is Katherine's resistance to falling in love/getting married. In "Hitch," Will Smith believes in can get any girl to fall in love you just got to know what to do so he try's to get a girl that doesn't really trust guys or like dating and while he try's to be with her he starts to fall in love himself. They are comparing because both guys have the same agenda they both want to get the "resistant" girl who is a real challenge and the girls don't trust men or like them so they try to be distant but this one guy for each of them is trying so hard and doing not all the right things but some so they start to fall for them.

"Shrew"- I shall take thy wages and win. "Hitch" In this scene here Hitch is meeting one of his clients to help them get "that" girl.

He says that his job is to open the girls eyes. Now this is like Petruchio Because Petruchio believed that he could get Kathrine easily when all the other guys could not. Petruchio and Will Smith's methods are different but they have the same goal. Petruchio goes for the headlong approach just say what he wants and g for it. Will Smith's approach to attracting women is simple get them to notice you and don't screw up after that and your in.

Part 2



In this scene of "Hitch" Will Smith finally says I love you to Eva Mendes And means it with love. Right now it's not about getting her to like him or getting the challenging girl it's about being in love. Just as if it were the end of "Shrew" were Petruchio was thinking of the wager he was thinkin of Kathrine and how she felt as he actually started caring about her.

But this scene also contributes to the women. For Eva Mendes it was the same as Will Smith in "Hitch". She stopped being so guarded she was in love in actual love with Will Smith's charterer. Also Kathrines ending scene in "Shrew" when she said Kathrine- "

She meant it as i'm think that I like you and I want you to be my king and lord. So she was saying it as she was in love with her man too.
