Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion
1. Shaw claimed to be an early feminist, believing women were very much equal to men in terms of cognitive ability and philosophical reasoning. Does this sentiment correspond with what you see in Eliza? Is she the true equal of her mentor?
2. Shaw was also very concerned about class and class consciousness. Does Shaw truly unsettle the boundaries between classes in this play or does the end of the play ultimately affirm class boundaries and divisions?
3. This play, and its musical version My Fair Lady, have been performed constantly for the last hundred years. Why? What makes this a "classic," a "masterpiece" that transcends its original time and place?
4. One consistent theme in this play is the oddity that is the English language. Some have even argued that Shaw, like the early British Broadcasting System (BBC), wanted to standardize English pronunciation. Do you agree? Or, can we read Eliza's dialect in some positive rather than critical way?
5. What questions do you have about this text? Create at least two questions based on your curiosities and concerns.
