__Do you own your boyfriend/girfriend?__ Comparing "Taming of the Shrew" with "Saving Silverman" about boyfriend/girlfrien as a status symbol or possession.

In "Taming of the Shrew" Petruchio is a very difficult character. In "Saving Silverman" Judith is as well. Petruchio is looking to marry a very rich woman, and does not care what she is like. As long as she will bring him a lot of money. Petruchio finds Katherine and agrees to marry Katherine unseen.The next day, Petruchio goes to Baptista’s house to meet Katherine, and they end up in a huge fight. Katherine using foul language repeatedly at Petruchio, Petruchio tells Katherine that he will marry her whether she wants to or not. Petruchio tells Baptista, that Katherine has consented to marry him. Hearing this claim and in front of her father, Katherine is oddly unspoken.

In "Saving Silverman" Judith and Darren are kind of the same. Darren, still looking for the right one and meets Judith, a psychologist who tries to "whip" Darren. Judith decides to force Darren to dump J.D. & Wayne as his best friends! As well as breaking up with their band. After J.D. & Wayne heard about Darren's engagement to Judith. They decide to kidnap Judith, and try to set Darren back up with his first love, Sandy before she becomes a nun. Darren marries Mrs. Wrong!!!
