As "Taming Of The Shrew" has many points it tends to focus on. The expectations a man and woman make when a relationship arises are different. Woman are more emotional than men. However, when you find the one that make you realize your faults and have a way of taming you things start to change. Emotions tend to rise. One of the most obvious in the Shakespeare novel Taming of the Shrew Katherine seems to be bitter when meeting Pertruchio. She is not form or fashion to wed him. She tends to hold much resentment. However that does not stop Pertruchio from trying to win over Katherine. In the 1992 comedy "Boomerang" Eddie Murphy plays a guy named Marcus who can get any woman he wants, and he know what to do to get them. This all turns around when he meets Jaqueline, who is bitter, stubborn, and just like him. She over time gives in to Marcus and Marcus gives into them. They both throughout the whole movie try to tame one another. Hold control over the other individual. As the same happened to Katherine by Petruchio.
 * Taming Both Men And Women **

Petruchio : Come, come, you wasp, i’faith you are too angry. Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting. Petruchio : My remedy is then to pluck it out. Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies. Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail. Katherine : In his tongue. Petruchio: Whose tongue? Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tales, and so farewell. Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? (II.i. 207 – 214 ) (This is when Petruchio and Katherine first meet, and he use sweet words to sweeten up her bitterness but she denies same as when Jacqueline meets Marcus and he follows her to the elevator.) "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen" -Marcus** (Laughs.) "Thank you, but that sounds kind of pathetic dont you think?" "Hmph!, This is the truth, Your gorgeous." -Marcus
 * Taming Of the Shrew Quote:**
 * Qoute from Boomerang:

In this scene Marcus has just met Jacqueline who seem not to be so enthusiastic as he other girls that dated marcus my have been. Marucs tries to charm her with his great pick up lines h use to catch woman attention. She does not feed in, and knows what he is speaking is not authentic at all. She knows he is a player. Marcus tends to find her intimidating but he works hard to strike a conversation with her, but each time Jacqueline shuts him out. He does not give up. Same is in Taming of The Shrew when Katherine runs from Pertruchio and all Pretrcuhio tries to do is feed her kind words that he think will make her more available to him.

"No shame but mine. I must, forsooth, be forced To give my hand, opposed against my heart Unto a mad-brain rudesby, full of spleen Who wooed in haste and means to wed at leisure" (Act 3, Sc. 2, Lines 8-11) Are you telling me that what happened in New Orleans was a fling? -Marcus "I dont like mixing my work with my outdoor pleasure" -Jacqueline
 * Taming of the Shrew Quote #2**
 * "Are you getting serious on me Marcus?" -Jacqueline responds.**

In this scene Marcus expresses his feelings on how he starts caring for Jaqueline. He is under the impression that him and Jacqueline are one, and they must begin doing things a couple does. However, Jaqueline sees it as her way of taming him and showing that a women's emotions is not one to messed with. As a result Marucs feels shocked because Jacqueline shoots his emotions down in a way. He has falling in love and he cant still comprehend why she doesn't feel the same way. He tries his best to "sweet talk" her but, Jacqueline can do without it. She then goes and tell people of their encounters with one another.

The Taming of the Shrew and Boomerang have many similarities. The most obvious is the taming of the individual they are trying to win over. They go to many heights to get what they yearn for, In the movie Boomerang, Marcus and Jacqueline switch roles. in the beginning she starts off as Katherine mean and bitter and have no expectations of dating Marcus. Marcus on the other hand is Petruchio and he does whatever to win Jacqueline over. Throughout the story with Jacqueline tends to charm Marcus how he always seem to do to other woman. He falls for her and she has tamed Marcus. Marcus is now the Petruchio doing anything necessary to wins Jacqueline heart. However, Jacqueline does not show emotion as well as
 * Are they so different?**

When you try to tame someone the value of control comes in the picture. You tend to work consistently to break that person. It takes more time, patience, and understanding to actually love someone. Marcus received the taste of his own treatment due to the fact he was always worrying about him and his satisfactions. Jacqueline bitterness only makes him want to strive more honorably to win her as a person. Same goes for Petruchio and Katherine situation.
