Ten Things I Hate about You: A Novelisation

Product Information

Since the publication of her debut novel An Untamed State, Roxane Gay has become a modern icon for feminism, and her subsequent online essays and books Bad Feminist, Hunger and Difficult Women have only strengthened that path. Articulate and razor sharp, her work slices through the bullshit to talk sense with clarity and empathy. A Haitian-American woman, she looks at pop culture and feminism from her perspective as a woman of colour and survivor of sexual assault.

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. So anyway, I strongly suggest you go see the movie first. It's really cute. And. Sweet. Then if you're up for a short read, grab this. But of course, not everything in the book is in the movie. So expect some changes. Minor only. Despite the changes and the bad writing (for me), this story deserves to be known for its utter cuteness! Roxy and Jane Ryan skip school to pursue different agendas in New York City, but find themselves together on the same adventure. Bianca wishes to date affluent senior Joey Donner, but Walter, an obstetrician worried about teenage pregnancy, will not allow his daughters to date until they graduate. Frustrated by Bianca's insistence and Kat's rebelliousness, Walter declares that Bianca may date only when Kat does, knowing that Kat's antisocial attitude makes this unlikely. 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.I guess this book is only for big fans of the movie. Like, big big fans. Whose life is the movie. And the movie is their life. Ebert, Roger (March 31, 1999). "10 Things I Hate About You". Chicago Sun-Times. Archived from the original on June 20, 2008 .

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.) 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. It's All About Me: At first. Best exemplified early on when she says, "Can we just focus on me for a second, please?" She drops it after Cameron calls her out on her behavior. No matter who they are, no matter how desperate they've become, not a single XY will consider even considering a date with Kat Stratford.Andrew, Geoff. "10 Things I Hate About You Review".

Number one, no dating 'til you graduate. Number two, no dating 'til you graduate." The Stratfords' single father, a successful obstetrician. The film's equivalent of Baptista Minola. 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. 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.”Prince Charming Wannabe: Double-subverted with Joey. At first, though, Bianca is attracted to him and wants to be with him instead of Cameron. The trope comes into play starting at Bogey's party when Bianca realizes Joey is extremely self-absorbed, and that Cameron is the better guy of the two, and eventually results in Bianca snapping at Joey at the prom after she finds out from Chastity that Joey only wanted to get with her because of a bet he made with his friends.
