Book Review

Pygmalion by Bernard Shaw is a witty and profound play that explores themes of class inequality, gender roles, and personal transformation. Critics note that Shaw masterfully uses dialogue and characters to show how external changes can affect a person's inner world. Special attention is given to the characters of Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, whose relationships and personal changes become the central axis of the plot. The play also raises questions about the nature of human identity and social justice, making it relevant even today. Critics praise Shaw for his ability to blend humor with serious themes, creating a work that both entertains and provokes thought.
