< Classics in English _ Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw >
"Pygmalion" is a famous play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1912.
"Pygmalion" depicts the process in which a phonetics professor named Henry Higgins transforms Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl from the lower classes in London, into a lady of high society. The play explores various themes such as class, identity, independence of women, and the power of language.
Shaw reinterprets the Greek myth of Pygmalion in a modern way, providing sharp insight into social change and personal growth. The play critically illuminates the class structure of British society and the influence of language on social status.
"Pygmalion" is one of Shaw's representative works, and his characteristic wit and social criticism are well displayed. This work later became the original work of the musical "My Fair Lady" and gained even greater popularity. The play emphasizes that language and pronunciation are important factors in determining social class, while also conveying the message that the true value of an individual lies within, not in their outward appearance or speech.
"Pygmalion" also addresses themes of female independence and self-realization, showing Eliza's growth from Professor Higgins' "creation" to an independent person. Through this, the show raises questions about gender roles and the status of women in society at the time.
The work has been performed and studied continuously since its publication, and is still considered a classic with a social message that is relevant today.
Summary
Covent Garden at 11.15 p.m. Torrents of heavy summer rain. Cab whistles blowing frantically in all directions. Pedestrians running for shelter into the market and under the portico of St. Paul¡¯s Church, where there are already several people, among them a lady and her daughter in evening dress. They are all peering out gloomily at the rain, except one man with his back turned to the rest, who seems wholly preoccupied with a notebook in which he is writing busily.
The church clock strikes the first quarter.
THE DAUGHTER [in the space between the central pillars, close to the one on her left] I¡¯m getting chilled to the bone. What can Freddy be doing all this time? He¡¯s been gone twenty minutes.
THE MOTHER [on her daughter¡¯s right] Not so long. But he ought to have got us a cab by this.
A BYSTANDER [on the lady¡¯s right] He won¡¯t get no cab not until half-past eleven, missus, when they come back after dropping their theatre fares.
THE MOTHER. But we must have a cab. We can¡¯t stand here until half-past eleven. It¡¯s too bad.
THE BYSTANDER. Well, it ain¡¯t my fault, missus.
