Quote

"The difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she is treated."

Notes

"Pygmalion" is a play by George Bernard Shaw, first performed in 1913. It tells the story of Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics 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. The play explores themes of social class, identity, and transformation, highlighting the power dynamics and societal expectations that shape personal development. "Pygmalion" remains a critical work for its witty dialogue, sharp social commentary, and exploration of the complexities of human relationships.
