As their relationship grows, Kat becomes a softer, nicer person and even helps Patrick get out of detention by flashing her breasts at the teacher.

In Taming of the Shrew Katherina opens herself out her speech about her love and obedience to her husband. In 10 things I hate about you, Kat expresses her feelings about Patrick in her poem where she says “... but mostly the way I don’t hate you...” Although both relationships started out for the wrong reasons i.e. money, they have both successfully developed strong and committed
