The movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and the play Taming of the Screw

Love at first sight will never change and always accepted in life, be it past present or future. From the past the play "Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare shows us that there is always love at first sight. His character Lucentio had fallen for the famous women Bianca who's beauty swept him off his feet. To the present with the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The world" In which Scott our main character falls in love with the "Women of his dreams" Ramona Flowers. He first sees her at a party and instantly approaches her.

(Act 1, Scene 1, line numbers)

"O Tranio, till I found it to be true, I never thought it possible or likely; But see, while idly I stood looking on, I found the effect of love in idleness: And now in plainness do confess to thee, That art to me as secret and as dear As Anna to the queen of Carthage was, Tranio, I burn, I pine, I perish, Tranio, If I achieve not this young modest girl. Counsel me, Tranio, for I know thou canst; Assist me, Tranio, for I know thou wilt."

Lucentio, with his servant Tranio, right after arriving at Padua in a public places listens up upon a conversation between the Baptista, Gremio, Hortensio, Bianca, and Katherine. There he spots Bianca and instantly believes he falls in love, aka Love at first sight. Towards the end Lucentio gets his servant Tranio to help him with this large scheme of how to win Bianca's love and hand. Showing Lucentio example show the past form of love at first sight and how it was to play a major role within this play.



Scott Pilgrim after having a dream with this mysterious girl appearing find her again at the party and his face becomes stupefied as he realizes she's from his dream. Almost immediately Scott Approaches the women named Ramona Flowers, and begins to have a small conversation. He's basically tripping over his own words and unable to say anything he really wanted from being nervous. He's nervous because he has fallen in love after first true sight of Ramona Flowers. The rest of the movie then turns into his fight to date with her and their troubles. Looking back at the play "Taming of the Screw" The main character Lucentio goes through almost the same ordeal as our main character Scott Pilgrim from the movie "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" and they face their own hardships and challenges to get a hold of their love life after being stupefied from first sight.

" Basta; content thee, for I have it full. We have not yet been seen in any house, Nor can we lie distinguish'd by our faces For man or master; then it follows thus; Thou shalt be master, Tranio, in my stead, Keep house and port and servants as I should: I will some other be, some Florentine, Some Neapolitan, or meaner man of Pisa. 'Tis hatch'd and shall be so: Tranio, at once Uncase thee; take my colour'd hat and cloak: When Biondello comes, he waits on thee; But I will charm him first to keep his tongue."

(Act 1, Scene 1, lines go here)

Tranio and Lucentio are now alone after the Baptista, Bianca, Katherine, Gremio, and Hortensio and they are developing a plan.

Then, you need a second (and possibly a third) set of comparisons: play, movie. Play, movie. Don't forget to use a larger font!

// Finally, you need your CONCLUSION. This paragraph should specifically mention BOTH the play and the movie, and touch on the central question of the assignment: // What do these portrayals show us about society's attitudes towards courtship/dating?
