This article and comments make interesting reading – some of the reasons I actually like Shrew are in there. (Purely abstractly, it’s got some very good writing in it, and it’s very quotable – memorable lines.) 10 Things I Hate About You takes the sister relationship further, giving it more depth, and also gives Katharine backstory details that explain her apparent shrewishness; and it doesn’t hurt that Patrick/Petruchio is very attractively charming and genuinely apologetic when he realises he’s hurt her. I also love Kiss Me, Kate (again, with added backstory), and the episode of Moonlighting that played with this. (In fact, the whole show was sparked by the play.)
I think I agree with the commenter on the Guardian article who says there absolutely has to be a spark between K&P for any of it to work at all. The falconry reference is also interesting, I hadn’t heard that one before. It’s not a good reason for P’s behaviour but it does make sense in context. (The KMK take on that part is a lot better!)
