How is Mrs. Higgins's point of view influenced by
the time and culture in which she lives?
George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion is a twentieth
century adaptation of a very old tale. In Greek mythology,
Pygmalion was a sculptor who fell in love with his own
creation, a woman made of ivory. The goddess Venus
granted his wish that his creation come to life
In Shaw's version of the story, Professor Henry Higgins
assumes the role of Pygmalion, only his creation' is a
young woman whom he and his friend bet they can
transform into a proper lady, aided only by instruction in
language and manners. The play satirized many social
problems of the day, including inequalities between
socioeconomic classes and men and women
She cannot imagine a way for a woman to survive
on her own
She is shocked that a woman would enjoy cultural
events.
In the following scene from Act II of the play, Higgins's
mother reminds the two men that Eliza is a human being
with feelings, which they seem not to have considered
She puts her fingers in her ears when the men
make too much noise.
She disapproves of boys playing with dolls.
