Pygmalion George Bernard Shaw

Pygmalion, a play by George Bernard Shaw, explores themes of social class, language, and transformation. It follows the story of Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert, who makes a bet that he can transform a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a lady simply by teaching her to speak properly. The play examines the complexities of social mobility and the power of language to shape identity and perception.
