Pygmalion
Book • 1913
Pygmalion, written by George Bernard Shaw, is a romance in five acts that explores themes of love, class, and identity.
The play revolves around Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetician, who accepts a bet to transform Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower seller, into a woman who can pass as a duchess in high society.
Through rigorous training, Eliza learns to speak and behave like a refined lady, but upon succeeding, she is dismissed by Higgins.
Eliza, now caught between her old and new identities, rejects Higgins' dehumanizing treatment and ultimately finds her own path.
The play is a commentary on the social class system and the transformative power of education and self-discovery.
