Compare and Contrast in Pygmalion
Thesis :
Nora and Eliza both share similar lives in their houses and in the society, although their difference is that Nora knew how to be a lady while Eliza didn’t.
Compare and contrast essay : Shaw and Ibsen excelled their views considering women in society. Both writers share the same theme of their characters’ transformation. The dramas have shown two women who are rebelliously different than other women of that time. While fighting for their freedom and for a better life they are breaking moral rules of their time.

Eliza both want to experience life in a different way and they want to accomplish it by learning, which perfectly connects these two dramas. Both of these women had problems because of their sex, one was considered as a doll from the beginning and the other one was considered a dirty street walker. The plays start to connect between each other in the moment when Eliza goes to Mr. Higgins and starts learning. With learning came obligations and restrictions.

Nora’s husband. They are both women who have a strong personality and do not accept to depend on anybody, which contrasts with the culture and time they were living in.
