10 Things I hate about You by Tjohnson https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq A study of Gender en-us 2017-07-27 12:25:16 UTC 2023-04-20 22:35:13 UTC hello@padlet.com DIETER CADZOW https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634614 The mid range camera shot and eye level camera angle places the male and female characters on equal ground, this represents an equality between the genders and shows that although Kat and her friend are tomboys they are still equal to a man, defying the patriarchal ideology of males being the dominant figure among the genders.
 
We can also draw meaning from the use of JUXTAPOSITION????. As the car of Joey, the patriarchal man and a very sexist and self centred person. Which is a very rich and fashionable car as well as seeming very masculine in its appearance and what is typically associated with men. In contrast with this, Kat’s car is portrayed as also typically masculine. The car is beat down and rugged, this may not be the best looking car and is not very expensive, but this beat down look is often associated with masculinity and shows that she does not confirm with the quintessential patriarchy, that women should have very pretty and ultra feminine cars instead of a ute.
 
Reinforcing the idea that Kat is defying the patriarchy, we draw meaning from the use of Juxtaposition in the scene where Kat and her friends are shown as very un kept and messy, this is a way of defying the patriarchy as girls are portrayed to be ultra feminine, weak, pretty and a damsel in distress. Her challenging the patriarchy by acting very masculine and dressing in a very male way shows how she doesn’t believe or confirm to the patriarchy. This is greatly contrasted by the next scene of Bianca and her friend who are quite happy to comply to the patriarchy as they wear very ultra feminine clothes and act in a very uneducated way, we can infer this from the dialogue when her friend says “I know you can be overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed, But can you ever just be whelmed?” Bianca replies with “I think you can in Europe?” This shows a lack of understanding of language and it shows an attempt at pretending smart by Bianca’s comment but in reality it just achieves an increase in the stupidity of the talk.
Through their actions, their words and what they wear, it shows how Bianca and her friend both confirm to the patriarchy and take it on as a way of life, although Kat is trying deliberately to challenge the patriarchy and change the way she is thought of in society

One scene that shows this is the end scene at the prom where Bianca finds out that Joey was only taking her out because of a bet he made with his friends. Bianca then finds Joey challenging Cameron to a fight, she then comes up to him and beats him up, one for cameron, one for his sister (who he paid a guy to go out with) and one for her. This breaks the patriarchal role as females do not tend to act in volatile and violent ways. This is a big contrast to what she was at the start of the film as she was the quintessential patriarchal woman, pretty, uneducated, pacifist,  she was the damsel in distress and now she’s standing up for herself, her sister and her date, not caring what everyone else might think for her much like her sister.

Kat is drunk and Patrick takes her takes her outside for some air. The filming looks down on Kat and looks up at Patrick. This is showing how Patrick is superior and Kat is inferior in a sense. By looking up at Patrick, it shows how Kat is developing feelings for him and how she is finally falling into her patriarchal role. In that scene, Kat is drunk and is opening up to Patrick. This shows her as vulnerable and weak. Patrick is sober in the scene and this shows how strong and powerful he is in comparison to Kat. Patrick constantly has to watch and look after Kat which shows that females need to be controlled and that they need to be babysat. Kat is portrayed throughout the movie as strong willed and independent but this scene is portraying how even though she is like this, girls have a tendency to fall for the man and end up in the patriarchy's standards. Further more, even though this movie has patriarchy defying motives, it still falls into the patriarchal trap. It has a cliche romance movie ending where the guy gets the girl.]]> 2017-07-28 06:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634626 Jenna Tupuhi https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634634 In this scene Kat and Patrick were talking,  Patrick is trying to annoy her, but Kat was having none of it and she just ignored him. As she was leaving Joey (patriarchal male) pulled up behind her. When she asked him what he was doing, he just walked by like there was no care in the world. By that point Kat was over it so she decided to back into Joey's car and she left a big dent in the side. In this scene Joey is portrayed at the Patriarchal man and because of the way that he acted this portrayal is reinforced. Because Joey thinks that he is the only one that matters his actions reinforce patriarchal ideology. Kat is challenging patriarchal ideology because she is being very aggressive and assertive with her actions. These actions are known as a male character traits. This scene also uses symbolic conventions because the costumes. Joey is wearing the typical cool kid clothes like a white polo and jeans, by him wearing this this also reinforces in being the cool kid and patriarchal ideology. Whereas Kat is wearing quiet boyish bland clothes like a t-shirt and jeans. She doesn't live up to the stereotype that all girls should be ultra feminine and they should always be wearing feminine clothes. Audio conventions are also used in this scene. Kat speaks to Patrick like he is stupid and she uses very educated terms while she is speaking. This challenges patriarchal ideology because the stereotypical girl is supposed to be uneducated and dumb. ]]> 2017-07-28 06:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634634 10 Things I Hate About You https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634653 The film 10 Things I Hate About You demonstrates the patriarchal ideology and the rigid gender roles present in society.
A large aspect of the film that demonstrates these gender stereotypes is the contrast between the two sisters. Bianca is portrayed as the quintessential patriarchal women. She is stereotypically feminine, and this is amplified by her attire, self presentably, intelligence and ultra-feminine persona. On the other hand, there is Kat; a tom-boy, bad-tempered and independent female who challenges the patriarchal ideology. She insists on never doing anything just because everyone else is, and because of her behaviour, she is no longer accepted by society. 

With regards to SWAT codes, symbolic conventions such as costumes & makeup.....

There are several moments throughout the film where Bianca snaps at Kat for being the way she is, and vice-versa. ]]> 2017-07-28 06:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634653 Madeline Toth tothm20 https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634660 In this scene, William, the stereotypical computer geek, is told to show the new kid, Cameron, around the school. During this scene, we can see many gender stereotypes. For example, when William shows Cameron, what he calls, the 'Basic Beautiful People'. From what can be seen, the men have muscular arms and slick back hair. They are also wearing football jackets, which may mean that they are 'jocks'. This may show that they are trying to make themselves look as though they are the 'patriarchal male'. The women in this group are also wearing nice clothing and have nicely-done hair, which is seen as ultra-feminine. Also in this scene, Cameron is introduced to Bianca. She is shown wearing a pink, floral sundress, which is generally associated with the ideal female. William tells Cameron that she is 'out of reach', meaning, she only falls for certain men, not being Cameron or William. William also says that Bianca is both 'beautiful and deep', emphasising 'deep' as a sarcastic comment, showing that she is shallow. Bianca also says 'I like my sketchers, and I love my Prada backpack.' Showing that she is a materialistic girl.]]> 2017-07-28 06:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634660 Thomas Nicholls https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634674 In scene 17 of ’10 Things I Hate About You’, Joey walks up to Cameron and throws a punch at his face, dropping him on the ground. After taunting Cameron some more, Bianca walks up from behind and punches Joey in the face. She then proceeds to attack Joey to make up for every person that he had hurt, including Bianca herself. This scene is defying the stereotypes which the movie had set up initially to portray the patriarchal social structure which the school and its students existed within. When Bianca stands up for herself and her friends, she is defying the character which was set for her and shows that, even though society does have a patriarchal structure, she doesn’t have to fit its mould. She can be her own person, just like how Katrina is her own person.]]> 2017-07-28 06:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634674 Rahul Rath https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634677 Chapter 10/19
This scene in the movie 10 Things I hate about you is when Kat is drunk from the party and Patrick helps her by taking her outside on the swing set together. This scene shows Patrick helping her as she is clueless on what is going on around her. The shot is a mid shot and an eye level shot to show us what is actually going on and what it would feel like to be them and includes us in the scene. This creates a sense of equality between the 2 characters and how they are quite similar people and have similar personality traits. In the scene they have a sort of love hate relationship were they tease each other but don't offend each other and find it funny. ]]> 2017-07-28 06:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634677 Liam https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634678 In this scene Joey attacks Cameron and William, he is angry because he lost money paying Patrick to pick-up Kat so he could date her sister, Bianca, who actually ended up dating Cameron. He is acting like a typical patriarchal man by showing his strength and dominance in a public display of anger. While Cameron is on the floor and Joey is yelling at him to get up, Bianca taps his shoulder and when Joey turns around she punches him in the face, defying the stereotypes of a patriarchal woman by showing that she doesn’t have to be weak and unheard in society. This scene shows that gender stereotypes are not always true, and that women can be strong and men can be weak. A patriarchal male is juxtaposed with a patriarchal woman, but the twist in the end is that they both do the opposite of what society would expect them to do. In this scene the setting is dark with some neon lights, the males are dressed as patriarchal males and the same goes for the females. By using these codes, the scene shows that at prom/parties people dress conforming to male and female stereotypes.]]> 2017-07-28 06:29:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634678 10 Things I hate About you Scene Analysis - Ciara Thornett https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634681 In this scene, Cameron, who is seen as the stereotypical shy and awkward boy, is tutoring Bianca, who is seen as the popular pretty girl, in French. The patriarchal male quality of being intelligent is portrayed as it is Cameron who is doing the teaching. Bianca is also showing qualities of the "ideal woman" as she appears dumb, in that she need tutoring, and her pink coloured clothing is very feminine. This stereotype is challenged when Bianca says something in French that Cameron doesn't quite understand, which makes Bianca appear to be the dominating person in the scene.  To reinforce this, when Bianca replies to Cameron is French, she says it in an aggressive tone, which can make her seem more powerful. Then with Cameron showing the emotion of sadness in response to Bianca's comment, he challenges the patriarchal male quality of not showing emotion. 

With regards to SWAT codes, a symbolic convention is that the scene is shot in a Library, which is a symbol of intelligence. With Bianca in the library, it challenges the stereotypical "ideal woman" quality of being dumb. The only subtitles used in this scene are the translations for what they say in French. The camera angle is at eye-level and the scene is a mid shot, putting both Cameron and Bianca at the same level. This can also challenge gender stereotypes because usually the men will be at a higher level than women.  ]]> 2017-07-28 06:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634681 Zoe https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634701 In this scene from '10 Things I Hate About You'  (Chapter 9; 2:32-3:20), Cameron is looking for Bianca at a party. When he finds her, he demonstrates the stereotypical nerd. This is shown through his body language and voice. His body is slouching and he does not look/ sound confident. The stereotypical nerd does not attract females and don't know how to talk to them. This is portrayed through this scene. On the other hand, Bianca reinforces the patriarchal women. She wears ultra- feminine clothing. This is shown through the pearl necklace she wears around her neck and the bright red dress that she wears. She has her hair done nicely in a bun and wears a small amount of makeup on her face, showing that she cares about her appearance. This is a trait that the patriarchal women has. Despite all this, she challenges the patriarchal women as she is holding a beer in her hand. Drinking alcohol is a male trait and the patriarchal women would not be found drinking beer. After Cameron and Bianca's conversation, Joey, joins the scene. Joey is portrayed as the patriarchal man and he thinks he is superior to Cameron. When he is walking down the staircase, he calls out to the other characters and says "Well we all know I look amazing". Without even talking, or making contact with Cameron, he takes Bianca away with him. One trait the patriarchal man has is that he always gets what he wants and is strong-willed. Joey reinforces this trait. Overall there are a range of characters and stereotypes in this scene and they are all portrayed in different ways. ]]> 2017-07-28 06:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634701 Adam https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634809 One of the scenes in 10 things I hate about you is when Joey, the patriarchal male stereotype, gets punched by Bianca, the patriarchal women stereotype. Bianca breaks the patriarchal stereotype in this scene as the patriarchal women is viewed as weak in physical strength, and so the patriarchal women would not be able to hurt anyone, especially a man, who are viewed as stronger and dominant due to patriarchal ideology. Bianca beating up Joey is a feminist statement, claiming that women can fight back and are not always a damsel in distress.]]> 2017-07-28 06:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634809 Daniel Santini https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634819 The scene in the movie 10 Things I hate about you I have chosen is the scene when Kat is drunk and Patrick gets her after she was dancing and takes her outside onto the swings. When he helps her and looks into her eyes, it gives the sense that both stereotypes are changing and becoming equal. Patrick was a strong looking man that smoked but has changed and Kat has become more feminine and acting more like a girl in the way she acts. The scene consists of mid shots to show the body expressions and actions of both of them and close ups to show the facial expressions of both of them. Finally, the drunk stereotype is used on Kat as she stumbles and vomits.]]> 2017-07-28 06:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634819 Yvette - 10 Things I hate about you scene analysis mlily20 https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634853 In the scene where Bianca confronts Joey and hits him multiple times - it breaks all stereotypes given to her throughout the movie, In the beginning Bianca is portrayed as patriarchal women, she cares about her looks and she's not seen as smart. This is reinforced through symbolic conventions such as her pink clothes, makeup jewellery and her room with the teddy bears. This image of her is destroyed when she stands up to Joey at the Prom, she contradicted her stereotype and patriarcal ideology by showing her strength and independence which reinforces feminism.]]> 2017-07-28 06:34:37 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634853 Analysing a scene from 10 things I hate about you(click view chapter 2/19) https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634926 The scene begins with mid and long shots of the classroom giving us a sense of the atmosphere and setting. This shot also enables us to see the many different stereotypical people, these stereotypes can be identified through the clothing which is worn by the individual/s; for example in the bottom third towards the middle we can see a male with a mohawk and dressed in very dark clothing, representing someone who is gothic. In another shot we can see an individual wearing a cowboy hat and a brown leather vest, this is stereotypical to a cowboy or a southerner.

As the scene progresses the teacher asks for the opinions of the students; 2 opinions are given both from female characters. On on hand we have a female who portrays the character from the book (Hemingway) as very “romantic” however on the other hand we have the other individual, Kat who portrays Hemingway as an “abusive alcoholic misogamist who squandered half his life hanging around Picasso trying to nail his leftovers.” These 2 very different options show the the difference between the ideal patriarchal woman and the main character, Kat and how she breaks the gender stereotypes. ]]> 2017-07-28 06:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634926 Tyler Sav https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179634971 In chapter 5 (4:45-) of Ten Things I Hate About You, gender stereotypes are contradicted through the character Kat. Patrick is normally seen as a ‘bad boy’ who is feared and anti-social but when he asks Kat if she is afraid of him because most people are, she says no and talks back. This is not generally something a typical girl would do and so her character is contradicting the patriarchal role. Kat is also underestimated when _ stops his car right behind hers. She then reversing her car right into his which is not something expected of a female to do because she they are supposed to have good etiquette and manners.

From this scene at the party, Joey is portrait as the “ideal” man through his body language. Joey’s body language towards Bianca shows that he is in charge or as more “power” than her. This is shown through his fierce pose, which is very similar to the well known, Superman pose. With the strong posture, hands on his hips and even the small strand of the hair brushed on his forehead all replicate a solid masculine figure. By replicating Superman's pose, implies he is a confident and high powered figure that people look up too. This pose is also justified by the camera angle, the angle is at a low angle, emphasising his pose to look to have more power against Bianca, as she is at a lower level and has to look up to him, making her more powerless. Another way he is showing that he is showing that he is the ultimate patriarchal man, is through the objects next to him, the tower of beer. The beverage beer, is normally associated in being a masculine drink.]]> 2017-07-28 06:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635070 Ava Dadmehr https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635242 Chapter 13: 0-2min
 In this scene Patrick tries to gain Kats forgiveness after he dodged her kiss. While Kat is playing her soccer match, Patrick begins to sing “cant take my eyes off of you” which is a love song. Patrick even goes through the effort to hire the school band. The whole soccer field becomes mesmerised until the police arrest Patrick. 
This scene challenges Patriarchal Ideology by using Juxtaposition. The director has put Kat in the stereotypical role of a man as she is playing soccer which is widely known as a male sport. While Patrick is seen as very vulnerable and womanly as he is singing which is more generally seen as a womanly trait. By doing this the director is challenging patriarchal ideology by switching the general role of stereotypical men and women.

When Bianca is walking with her friend after school, her friend says, “I know how you can be overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?” and Bianca replies with, “I think you can in Europe.” This conversation reinforces a stereotypical female trait, with women always portrayed as being dumb and uneducated, instead of being intelligent. Patriarchal ideology is the concept that men are strong willed and independent, whereas women are defenceless and powerless. This scene supports this concept as the girls are portrayed as unintelligent.]]> 2017-07-28 06:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635254 Deetya https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635267 In this scene of 10 Things I Hate About You, we find out that Kat got into the university that she wanted to go to and is really excited about it.  Her father though, isn't very keen on seeing her go, since it is on the other side of the country. Kat though is contradicting the idea of a quintessential patriarchal woman, as she is very decisive and doesn't want to listen to her father.  She also doesn't mind speaking her mind to her father. Kat's father is reinforcing the idea of the patriarchal man. Being the father, he is strongly over protective about his daughter and her safety. In a way he believes, that Kat is not able to deal with situations or problems as she is a girl. Since he is a midwife, he is also quite biased as he deals with situations of pregnant teenage girls and he doesn't want his daughters to end in the same place. The big expectation is that his daughter Kat should follow his orders and not make her own decisions. ]]> 2017-07-28 06:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635267 Jenna https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635278 In the scene at the start of chapter 6, the character Kat is in her car getting ready to leave when Joey pulls up and blocks her in. When Kat asks if he minds, he says not at all and keeps walking. Kat then rams into the side of his car. Through the stereotypes of Kat being strong willed, her car which is typically not feminine as it is red and looks quite old and what Kat says shows that she does not fit the mould of the patriarchal women. When Joey gets out of his car and walks past Kat yells after him in not a typically lady like manner saying “you mind”. Joey is shown as a patriarchal man because of his self centred and superior attitude. By parking in front of Kat, walking past not looking at her and replying “not at all” to Kat show that he thinks he is better than her. This scene shows that Kat is a bit of an outcast as she doesn’t act like a patriarchal women as she crashed her car into his which is not expected of a girl to do. Kats facial expressions make her look grumpy and annoyed which also does not fit the mould of girls always smiling and being happy. ]]> 2017-07-28 06:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635278 Lauren https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635293
In 10 Things I Hate About You, chapter 3 the characters Bianca, Kat and the Dad are having a conversation, Bianca is arguing that it is unfair that she cannot date until she graduates. Bianca Says ‘ can we just focus on me for a second please, I am the only one in school not dating’ Her father responds by saying ‘ no your not, Kat isn’t dating’ Kat then goes on to express about how she is disgusted by the boys who go to her school. Bianca retaliates by saying ‘ where did you come from? planet loser’ Kat replies ‘ As opposed to planet look at me look at me’  This scene shows that Kat isn’t the patriarchal woman as typically a woman would be wanted to have a boyfriend and go on dates and not be disgusted by the boys she knows. The juxtaposition of Bianca - who is boy crazy and  dresses and acts like the patriarchal woman and Kat, who does what she wants and doesn’t care that she is an outcast, is exaggerated in the scene by Biancas anger when she cannot date and Kats contempt for the boys that Bianca is interested in.]]> 2017-07-28 06:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635293 Alisha Connors https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635417 In this scene from 10 things I Hate About You the viewer can see the evident role of the Patriarchal Man and Woman as a stereotype that a certain gender must fit in order to be well suited to society. In this scene Bianca is in the mirror wearing pearls, makeup and a typical outfit of a girl which is floral also her body language which is self obsessed. This scene gives the viewer the idea that females fits a certain model which they are perceived as or the Quintessential Patriarchal Woman who takes priority of her appearance and Bianca therefore further develops the idea of a certain stereotype that a woman must fit. Furthermore in the scene of Joey he shows his masculinity and powerfulness. This is evident through his strong masculine body language and the low camera angle. The low camera angle reinforces the idea that a man is see to be powerful and his body language which is strong and next to beer which is a symbol of man hood. Therefore, the main theme that comes across is that gender plays a big role in world in which society deems fit a person with a stereotype of the typical person showing gender and it’s many divisions between a boy and a girl.]]> 2017-07-28 06:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635417 Konrad https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635461 Shakespeare’s play, The Taming of The Shrew, was written between the years 1590 and 1592. Four centuries later writers Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith put together a movie adaptation of the play called 10 Things I Hate About You. Despite the very different settings the two works of fiction take place in, certain things remain constant, such as the ways the characters are portrayed and perceived. The movie, produced post first and second wave feminism, and after the Riot Grrrl movement, reminds us that it’s the conventional, virginal, shallow girls that are loved, while the independent girls with the strong personalities and refusal to bow down to norms are thought of as crazy and unreasonable. Kat Stratford, Katherina Minola’s counterpart, is never taken seriously and often mocked, while Patrick Verona, Petruchio’s successor, is looked up to as a model of masculinity and correct manhood, admired for his ability to tame the shrew, or at least make her fall in love with him. Just like in Shakespeare’s time, fathers are still trying to control their daughter’s sexuality, where in The Taming of the Shrew, Baptista would not let Bianca get married unless Katherina does, in 10 Things I Hate About You, Walter, the character based on Baptista, does not let Bianca date unless Kat does.

This idea is reinforced through the film when Kat gets drunk at a party. Kat is portrayed through the movie as someone who breaks the female stereotype as she is mentally very strong, opinionated and independent, which are qualities that aren’t usually seen in a female. Although, when Kat goes to the party, she gets drunk and Patrick is sober. Kat getting drunk symbolises venerability as when someone is intoxicated they aren’t aware of their surroundings, this means they need protective which shows weakness. Patrick being sober shows he is strong willed and makes him the bigger person and the ‘protector’ of Kat. Even though Kat breaks the gender stereotype, she still falls for the guy and depends on him for protection. ]]> 2017-07-28 07:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tjohnson66/ly08mbubaxuq/wish/179635698
