Pygmalion

During the game, British curriculum, Pygmalion seems to be artificial. During the day of Mrs. Higgins' family, the third act had a good difference. Mr. Eynsford and Miss Eynsford insisted that they are upper classes, they behaved as if they were in the upper class, trying to impress Henry Higgins in this scene. Eliza Doolittle covers women 's classes from her flower girl' s way of being, since it is clear and accurate under the guidance of voice professor Henry Higgins.

Pygmalion comes from a man named Pygmalion who made a Greek myth, a story of Orbit, a woman's sculpture named Galatea. The original idea of ​​Ovids was that Galatea would be a cult monument to a woman who refused to tell people that Pygmalion, he made her. Shag objected to Ovids' original objective to a certain extent. Even in all of Piggmalion 's reasoning, Higgins may be emotional to Eliza, and Shaws supports low - level female rule and proposing love for middle - class men.

By writing Pygmalion, the George Bernard show borrowed at least two myths: the myths of Pygmalion and Galatea, and Cinderella. In the original Pygmalion myth, sculptors of the same name created Galatias as statues, then lived, and they have lived happily ever after. In Cinderella, the appearance of the girl miraculously changed; she went to the ball and danced with the prince; the prince later lived happily ever after (Prince, Berst, 6-8). In the first four actions of Shaw's Pygmalion, he followed these patterns. Flower girl turns into a woman. She has learned new ways of speaking, new words, new clothes and so on. We met a man's leader who seems to fit the role of Pygmalion and Prince. According to all the rules, we would like to marry them and send a happy life. As Maurice Valency suggested in 1973:
