A1
The Characters:
- Kat Stratford (played by Julia Stiles) is an independent, headstrong, and anti-social teen who disapproves of high school cliques and social norms.
- Bianca Stratford (played by Larisa Oleynik) is her popular and superficial younger sister, eager to date but restricted by their father's rules.
- Patrick Verona (played by Heath Ledger) is the mysterious bad boy hired to date Kat.
- Cameron James (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a new student who falls for Bianca.
- A2
- The Premise: Bianca wants to date, but their overprotective father has a rule: Bianca can only date if Kat does, which seems unlikely due to Kat's prickly nature. Cameron and his friend devise a plan to pay Patrick to date Kat.
- The Plan: Cameron and another student, Joey (who is also interested in Bianca), pool money to get Patrick to woo Kat so that Bianca is allowed to date. Patrick accepts the challenge, leading to awkward and comical moments as he tries to win Kat over.
- Unexpected Romance: Despite the initial scheme, Patrick and Kat start developing genuine feelings for each other. Their relationship unfolds through quirky dates, banter, and shared emotional experiences.
- The "10 Things" Poem: The title of the movie comes from a poem Kat writes about Patrick. In a key emotional scene, she reads the poem aloud, listing the "10 things" she hates about him—culminating in the revelation that, despite everything, she still loves him.
- Father-Daughter Relationship: Kat and Bianca's overbearing father adds humor and tension to the film. His strict dating rules and overprotectiveness come from a place of love but lead to friction between him and his daughters.
- Character Growth: Kat starts as a misunderstood rebel but gradually opens up emotionally, revealing that her tough exterior is a defense mechanism. Bianca, too, evolves from being shallow to understanding what she really wants in life.
- Iconic Scenes: The movie is packed with memorable moments, such as Patrick’s grand gesture of serenading Kat with “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” in front of the entire school, and Kat's emotional poem reading near the end.
- Shakespearean Influence: As a modern adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew, the film retains themes of courtship, independence, and social expectations, with a humorous and romantic twist.
- Legacy: 10 Things I Hate About You became a beloved teen classic, launching the careers of its stars and continuing to resonate with audiences due to its humor, relatability, and heartfelt moments.
