"Pygmalion" is a play by George Bernard Shaw that explores themes of social class and transformation. The story follows Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl with a strong Cockney accent, who dreams of bettering her life. When phonetics professor Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can transform her into a refined duchess by teaching her proper speech and manners, Eliza enters a world of high society. As she learns to speak like a lady, she grapples with her identity and the social barriers that divide them. The play challenges the notions of class and personal evolution, ultimately questioning the true nature of transformation. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
