This play by George Bernard Shaw (萧 伯纳) is an adaptation of a Greek story. Do you know this story?
Pygmalion, a gifted artist, dislike women. One day he makes a stone statue of a beautiful woman.
When he finishes the statue, he falls in love with it and goes to the Greek goddess, Aphrodite, to ask her to make the statue into a real woman.
His wish is granted.
The author-----George Bernard Shaw
An Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater.
His main works:
Immaturity Widowers' Houses Pygmalion Man and Superman (1902), Major Barbara (1905)
In Shaw’s play, Professor Higgins is a man who does not like women either and is very rude to them. For a bet he agrees to teach a poor young woman so that she can be passed off as a rich lady in high class society. So, like Pygmalion, Higgins creates a perfect young woman. Both the statue and Eliza depend on their creator for their new life.
The Pygmalion Effect is that people tend to behave as you expect they will. If you expect a person to take responsibility, they probably will. If you expect them not to even try, they probably won’t.
Colonel Pickering(P): an officer in the army and later a friend of Higgins’ who sets him a task.
