A sculptor falls in love with his creation in Pygmalion, a critique of the British class system and a showcase of Shaw''s feminist beliefs. Professor Higgins transforms a flower girl into a lady through speech and manners training, but leaves her feeling disconnected from both worlds.
A witty retelling of the classic tale of a sculptor falling inove with his flawless creation, Pygmalion is a subtle attack on the British class system while highlighting Shaw''s feminist ideology. Professor Higgins asserts to his friend, Colonel Pickering, that he can disguise a regular flower girl as a duchess just by teaching her the mannerisms and speech of the upper class society. In the course of the flower girl''s "upgradation,'' she transforms into a beautiful and accomplishedady. To Higgins, however, she remains a mere successful experimenteaving her out of both the worlds: the one she stepped out of and the one she never felt a part of.
