Meva Tinsley Monson/Lovett Sophomore World Literature 4 May 2009 The Mystery of Disguise Although the movie 10 Things I Hate About You displays some deceptive moments, deception is the key motive in The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. Both physically and emotionally, The Taming of the Shrew captivates deception within the mastery of disguise. Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew tells the story of two daughters in which the eldest must get married before the youngest. The modest Bianca has no deficiency of admirers (Gremio, Hortensio, and Lucentio), but Baptista, her loving father, demands that she not marry until her shrewish sister Katherine becomes engaged.

The use of slapstick by Wilde produces a contrived and absurd plotline that is in every way unrealistic. The lack of morality in the characters defines how undeveloped they are. For example, Algernon uses the aphorism, "The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain" highlighting his ignorance and casual selfishness. Each one of the characters is in some way lacking either true morality or even awareness of reality. Gwendolyn in particular is fond and proud of her education yet in the end she easily forgives Jack for lying to her throughout the play underlying a sense of stupidity.
