"Pygmalion" is a play by George Bernard Shaw, not Mary Hartley. The story revolves around Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert who bets that he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a strong Cockney accent, into a refined lady who can pass for a duchess at an ambassador's ball. As Higgins teaches Eliza to speak and behave like a high-society woman, their relationship evolves, highlighting themes of social class, identity, and transformation. Ultimately, the story questions the nature of social status and what it means to be truly refined in society. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
