In George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion,' the reader is transported to early 20th-century London where phonetics professor Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can transform a cockney flower girl named Eliza Doolittle into a refined lady through speech and manners training. Shaw's witty and engaging writing style brings to life the themes of social class, identity, and the power of language. The theatricality of the dialogue and character interactions adds depth to the exploration of societal norms and expectations. 'Pygmalion' is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today. George Bernard Shaw, a prominent playwright and critic, was known for his sharp wit and social commentary. His background in phonetics and interest in societal issues are evident in 'Pygmalion,' where he challenges the notion of fixed social roles and the importance of self-improvement. Shaw's complex characters and satirical humor make 'Pygmalion' a compelling read for those interested in exploring the dynamics of class and language. I highly recommend 'Pygmalion' to readers who enjoy thought-provoking literature that examines the intricacies of society and human behavior. Shaw's masterful storytelling and keen observations make this play a must-read for anyone interested in classics with a modern twist.
