Taming Of The Shrew Katherina Differences
The Variations of Katherina Mignola One might wonder if always standing out is a good trait to attain. Katherina Mignola is that kind of person in many situations. Katherina is a very feisty, hot-tempered, and quick witted individual. Her obnoxious over the top behavior often captures the attention of all the people around her, most of the time not in the most positive manner. Katherina's looks and personality are portrayed differently in each version of the Taming of The Shrew we've been exposed to. Apart from the differences in each of these versions, there are also many similarities.
The three different versions have many similarities One major similarity in all three is the portrayal of Katherine's personality. Katherina is portrayed
the same way in each; feisty, sharp tongue, hot tempered, quick-witted, etc. Katherina is also treated as less than by her father compared to how he treats her younger sister Bianca. Katherina is clearly jealous of her younger sister in the play, Taming of The Shrew, and parts of 10 Things I Hate About You. Shes jealous of her because she gets more attention from her father, men, and her peers. An example of this is from the play, “She is your treasure, she must have a husband; I must dance barefoot on her wedding day” (Shakespeare, 35).
Apart from the many similarities, the three versions also have some differences. One major difference is in the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, Katherina has a major character change towards the end compared to the other two versions. She changes from this hard character, to a softer, more compassionate character. In the end she even hugs her father and acts differently. This change comes from falling for Patrick Verona, it changes her personality completely. Katherina Mignola has a feisty personality. This character trait is shown very clearly throughout all of the variations of the play. A prime example of this is when Katherina said “And paint your face, and use you like a fool.” (Shakespeare, 15) in the play. This shows that she does not want to be controlled by anyone, especially a man. This also indicates that Katherina will stand up for herself and always speak what's on her mind. Another example of this is in The Taming of The Shrew the movie, when Petruchio tries to woo Katherina. Katherina shows absolutely no interest when he does so, this shows that she is very independent and does not desire a man to control her. She does this to show how strong she is, and does not want to come off as a weak person.
Another trait of Katherina is that she is hot-tempered. Katherina shows this trait in all of the different versions. “What! Shall I be appointed hours,,. I knew not what to take and what to leave? Ha!” (Shakespeare, 16) from the play shows that Katherina stands up for herself and isn't afraid to speak her mind. This also ties into the fact that she is quick-witted. Throughout the play she has many conversations with other characters, and always knows what to say and has an opinion about it.
For the most part, Katherina Mignola was portrayed the same way in all three of the different variations. She was portrayed as feisty, quick-witted, and sharp tongued individual. These three variations show that she is the same but each have their own little twists. Having these different variations can give more depth to a character and help to better understand her.
