Like all of Shaw's great dramatic creations, Pygmalion is a richly complex work. It combines a central story about the transformation of a young woman with elements of myth, fairy tale, and romance, while also combining an interesting plot with an exploration of social identity, the power of science, relationships between men and women, and other issues. .Pygmalion is one of Shaw's most popular works, as well as one of his simplest. The form does not have the complexity that we find in Heartbreak House or Saint Joan, nor are the ideas of Pygmalion as profound as those of any of Shaw's other major works. It can be considered a language problem. This play, written by George Bernard Shaw in 1912, presents an Edwardian comic version of the classical myth of Pygmalion, the legendary sculptor and king of Cyprus, who fell in love with his statue of Aphrodite. At his prayer, Aphrodite brought the statue to life as Galatea. George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion is the story of Henry Higgins, a master phonetician, and his mischievous plot to pass off a common flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, as a duchess at the embassy. Ball. To achieve his goal, Higgins must teach Eliza how to speak correctly and how to behave in upper-class society. The show examines middle-class morality and upper-class superficiality, reflects the social ills of nineteenth-century England, and attests that all people are worthy of respect and dignity. Shaw is a British socialist who sympathized with the lower classes. Shaw criticized that a person's way of speaking reveals people's social class. Shaw's Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a loquacious professor of phonetics, who engages in an exchange with his colleague Colonel Pickering to transform a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into speaking English in an aristocratic manner and transform her into a lady. In a certain sense she is the very antithesis of Galatea, since in the beginning she is a daughter of nature and in the end she is an artifact. Nor is Higgins ever allowed to acknowledge to himself that he might fall in love with her. But this goes against another meaning. Eliza's transformation goes far beyond just going from an ordinary girl to a lady. Higgins begins with what it does not mean to him, and in the end he must recognize his creation as a woman who enjoys and suffers.
