= Love Is Not As Easy As You Think =

Comparing "Taming of the Shrew" to "Made of honor"

I would be focusing on “Male ideas on courtship/dating”. I’m comparing this movie “Made Of Honor” to the book “Taming Of The Shrew” because in the movie there is a beautiful girl named Hannah who two guys love and wants to be with and one of them, her old friend Tom, is trying to win her over from her Fiancée. In the play, a man named Petruchio wants to marry a woman named Katherine. When Petruchio starts talking about how he wants to date or be with Katherine, he wants to basically command her to do things, and if she doesn’t follow his words, he’s going to make life worse for her. In the movie, by contrast, Tom doesn’t want to command Hannah to do anything. He just wants to be with her. The movie and the book are similar because the male characters think they have their ways with woman, they think they can do what ever to them. One of the males play with girl’s emotions, basically insert to girls, like he would throw himself at girls so they can keep coming to him then he changes when he finally knows who is right for him. The other stay the same and keep messing around and commanding girls to do things they don't want to do.

="Quote from Play" =
 * (Act 2, Scene 1, line 205 - 212) **

Petruchio: Women are made to bear, and so are you."
In the quote Katherine was basically saying that she knew Petruchio was not the kind of guy that would be faithful, he is just an unfaithful person. He was basically trying to flirt but she didn't fall for it, because she doesn't like him. And Petruchio was saying that" women are made to do this and do that that's why we have them by our sides" Basically he was saying that he can command any women if they with him or not.



In the begging of the movie Tom & Hannah really didn't know each other, he just went into to wrong bed with the wrong person which was Hannah. She didn't like him for the fact the he was messing with all the girls on her floor, and he just kept flirting with Hannah and she didn't fall for it because she already knew what kind of guy he was. He was straight up with his words to her and other women, so she did the same and he felt good about it, just to be a jerk and after that they just became closer and closer.


 * (Act 2, Scene 1, line 168 - 170) **

** "Now, by the world, it is a lusty wench. I lover her then times more then e'er i did. O. how i long to have some chat with her!" **
I think in this quote Petruchio was saying that he really loves Katherine more then anything now. He really didn't lover her before but now he notices that he loves her more and more each day, and he wants to talk to her about it but he just cant find the words.

That reminds me of the movie "Made of honor" because almost at the end when Hannah's wedding is the next day the night before Hannah went to Tom's room to tell him how she felt about him, and some girl that liked hi in college was her brides made as well or best girl, and she was in the room stripping Tom, and Toms pushing her away and telling her to get off him but she kept saying no and so Hannah finally got to his room and the door was opened a little and she seen that the girl was on top of him and Tom noticed and was mad because it wasn't what it looked like. So Hannah went to her room and and ignored Tom for a while. And after that she just kept on going on with the wedding because she had nothing to say when that happened, and he tried and tried to fight her back but she ignored him every minute. They just didn't have the right words for each other til the end when Tom noticed what he was about to leave a lone.



"Made Of Honor" ended with Hannah & Tom being together. Tom and Hannah started off not so good because he slept with everyone and she didn't like guys like that. Then there relationships built up and they became friends and then best friends. They shared everything about each other, so they already knew everything about each other. Then Hannah met this guy and they got married!!!! Just kidding they almost gotten married until Tom came and he tole Hannah that he loved her, he always have an he always will.

All relationships aren't the same. Some relationships are not good and some are great. In "Made Of Honor"Hannah was more like the good girl in college she wasn't wild like everyone else, but Tom was wild to the point that he slept with everyone. In the book "Taming Of The Shrew" Petruchio was a jerk through the whole book, and he tried his hardest to be with Katherine but she didn't see him that way, i don't think she liked him at all just because he was a jerk to everyone and sworn he was the boss of everyone. There are relationships that are perfect like Hannah & Tom in "Made Of Honor" they were just friends and still knew a lot about each other then when they became closer there relationship gotten better and better til the point that they wanted each other and gotten married. Some people get bored in there relationships because they not getting enough of anything, some just get tired of the same thing so they just leave each other. But my point is love is hard for you to get, hard to hold on to, and find it. In movies it looks easy but in real life you would never see love at first sight or anything.
