"Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistics expert who makes a bet 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 garden party. Through intensive speech lessons and social training, Eliza undergoes a remarkable transformation. However, as her independence grows, she grapples with her identity and the implications of her new status. The play explores themes of class, language, and the complexities of human relationships, ultimately questioning the nature of social transformation and genuine identity.
