    (1999). She’s a shrew that doesn’t care about social expectations or how she should act in public. I personally believe that the films are a love story about a man and a woman freeing each other. In both versions of the play there is an overlying theme of money and power. In the 1967 version Petruchio is paid by Hortensio to woo Kat‚ likewise Patrick is paid by Joey to woo Kate.
