        <description><![CDATA[    Eliza Doolittle makes the transition from uneducated Cockney flower girl to elegant duchess in George Bernard Shaw's play, Pygmalion. Eliza's transformation from a girl of the streets to a beauty whose manners and appearance inspires awe--from just about everyone except Henry Higgins, that is--is complete, up to the end of the experiment. After Higgins wins his bet, his job is over, and Eliza's allure proves to have worked on everyone...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[    The gregarious Alfred P. Doolittle is the father of the cockney flower girl, Eliza, in George Bernard Shaw's classic play, Pygmalion. Although Doolittle only makes a few appearances in the play, they are virtually all scene-stealers. He is a poor dustman, and he has not been a good father to his daughter. He shows up when he needs money but is perfectly happy as long as he has enough to spend drinking and carousing in the local pub....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Let's reverse the question and ask rather why should he?  If the identity of the characters and their relationship to one another had been revealed in a kind of third person onmiscient point of view, the story line would have lost its anticipation, and therefore, a lot of its interest.
By gradually "unravelling" the truth about the characters, their interpersonal relationships, and their motivations, Shaw forces the spectators to approach the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Absolutely.  For one thing, Higgins takes on Eliza as a student due to a dare with a friend.  Higgins, without regard for Eliza as a person at all, takes the dare that he can make her speak like Royalty so well that no one will detect the fraud in very little time.
For another thing, Eliza and Higgins come from two very different backgrounds and social classes.  Neither truly understands the other, although Eliza is a good student and she...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Through her transformation, Eliza becomes much more than a lady.  When she makes a stand against Higgins's intolerable behavior, she is transformed into an independent woman that Higgins can admire.  In contrast, when Alfred Doolittle transforms into a gentleman, he becomes a victim of the "middle-class morality" that he is so detests.  He is miserable with his riches because he must adhere to a social creed that he doesn't believe in....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[This play remains timelessly entertaining because of the way it introduces a character who has up until now remained in one section of her culture and through a series of events bridges the gap of her cultural world simply by altering the way she speaks, her mannerisms etc. It takes on the concept of moving up in society despite ones financial status and being able to change ones stature in life from working class to upper class, so to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[freedictionary.org defines "pygmalion" as: "(Greek mythology) a king who created a statue of a woman and fell in love with it; Aphrodite brought the sculpture to life as Galatea"  The term often refers to someone who "creates" another (as in Henry Higgins did to Eliza Doolittle in MY FAIR LADY) and then falls in love with him or her. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA["Pygmalion" is not a thing to be defined, but rather the name of a character from ancient mythology. According to Ovid's Metamorphoses, Pygmalion was a sculptor who carved the image of a woman so beautiful that he fell in love with her and pleaded with Venus to turn the statue into a real woman. Venus was touched by his plea and granted his wish.
George Bernard Shaw later used Pygmalion as the title of his book about the transformation of a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Alfred Doolittle is very content in the lower class. He gives his speech on "middle class morality" and how he enjoys being in the lower class. He doesn't want to take too much money from Higgins, because with a certain amount of money comes responsibility. He wants the money and not the responsibility. After he inherits money, he is upset because now he has to be respectable and marry Eliza's mother.
Eliza, on the other hand, knows that in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering spend the evening after the party in self-congratulatory celebration, ignoring Eliza and her contribution to the success of the deception. Eliza, understandably is infuriated by Higgins' conceit, but the final straw was his condescending dismissal, telling her to "go to bed like a good girl and sleep it off."
Eliza understands that her entire life (and livelihood) is forever altered by her...]]></description>
