    Pygmalion by George Shaw Shaw "the second greatest English playwright‚ behind only Shakespeare" Title- Shaw called Pygmalion a potboiler and subtitled it "A Romance." Thus the play’s main thematic concern is romantic in the literary use of the term. It is a play that has a highly improbable plot. Professor Henry Higgins transforms a common flower girl into a graceful lady‚ like the legendary Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved an exquisite female statue out of a shapeless piece of ivory.

    answer. Undoubtedly ‘Pygmalion’s Bride’ is a humorous poem‚ but the underlying dark message is clear throughout like many of Duffy’s poems. The confusion of the two is portrayed through the reader knowing the story of Pygmalion from mythology. The reader is led to believe that Pygmalion is either creating his statue. Or on a darker scale‚ he is committing an unlawful act against a woman. With those two different meanings of the poem being the humour to the reader. The poem is told by ‘Pygmalion’s

This is because overall in the beginning we see Eliza display certain characteristics that may not seem that of a human being‚ prior to the transformation of Higgins and Pickering. When getting a first glimpse of Eliza in the beginning of the play we see that she is very
