Book Title: Pygmalion

Author: George Bernard Shaw

Episode: Number 99 | Part 1

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Pygmalion" is a play written by George Bernard Shaw, a renowned Irish playwright, and first premiered in 1913. The story is a satirical exploration of social class, language, and personal transformation. The plot revolves around the transformation of Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a strong Cockney accent, into a refined and well-spoken lady under the tutelage of Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert.

Higgins takes on the challenge of teaching Eliza to speak "proper" English and present herself as a member of the upper class. As Eliza undergoes this linguistic and behavioral makeover, the play delves into themes of identity, self-worth, and the impact of language on one's social status. The interactions between Eliza and Higgins, along with the supporting characters, highlight the complexities of societal expectations, the power dynamics between different classes, and the blurred lines between authenticity and pretense.

About the author:

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, and essayist, renowned for his wit, social commentary, and contributions to literature and theater. Born on July 26, 1856, in Dublin, Ireland, Shaw initially pursued a career in music and writing before gaining prominence as a playwright.

Shaw's early works included novels and plays, but he rose to fame with his witty and thought-provoking plays that often challenged societal norms and conventions. His plays, such as "Mrs. Warren's Profession," "Arms and the Man," "Major Barbara," and "Man and Superman," tackled themes like social inequality, the impact of capitalism, and the role of women in society.
