George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion": Eliza Doolittle's Transformation From Flower Girl To Princess
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. That George Bernard Shaw draws attention to the snobbery of elitist linguists speaks to the importance of communication between and among human beings. The author's forthright contention was that people -- even those from the same country – could barely understand one another for the multitude of languages and dialects. Frustrated by the extent to which one Englishman could not converse with another of his own countrymen compelled Shaw to bring to light the substantial inadequacies brought about by language. Following Eliza Doolittle's transformation from flower girl to princess in Pygmalion allows the reader to gain a significantly better understanding of just how ingrained one's cultural dictates truly are.
