______________________________________________________

" Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor Pygmalion, who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw's feminist views. In Shaw's hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a duchess at ease in polite society. The one thing he overlooks is that his 'creation' has a mind of her own. "

Journal Entry 2 by wingDelphi_Readerwing at Delphi - Δελφοί , Fokida Greece on Thursday, January 23, 2020
Poignant, witty and very clever play. Seen the theater performance with the different pronunciations would make the text become more alive, but George Bernard Shaw's discriptions, explanations and filling on the gaps of the story in the written form, makes this a very compelling read.
I enjoyed it a lot!

I am the lucky decoy for the round. Thank you for the book and the Shakespeare you sent as well. I look forward to a re-reading of Pygmalion. I studied the play for English Literature many many years ago and had very fond memories of it.
