A highly popular modernized high school adaptation starring Heath Ledger and Julia Stiles.
The titular "shrew." Fiercely independent and quick-witted, she weaponizes her bad temper to defend herself in a society that treats women as property.
Disguise is a central mechanic in the plot. Characters constantly pretend to be someone they are not (servants as masters, pedants as fathers, and a drunkard as a lord). This raises the question: Is Katherine genuinely tamed, or is she merely playing the ultimate acting role to survive?
