Comparing Pygmalion 'And The Makeover'

After Higgins, confesses to his undying love for Eliza. Eliza decides to leave Higgins’s home because felt that it would only hurt Higgins more to have her stay another moment in his home because she did not share the same feelings for him. She now resides at the home of Mrs. Higgins.

Eliza changed herself for the better. In act 5, she told the two men to start calling her “Miss Doolittle” and that was the beginning of learning her self worth. She was done being treated like a “live doll” and began to see herself like a Duchess, like Higgins

Eliza now has two suitors; one who is staid and reserved and one who is amiable and gay. While Mr. Boyer sees Eliza as a woman with “an accomplished mind and polished manner”, it is Sanford’s view of Eliza’s exuberant nature that ensures her downfall (10). In Major Sanford’s letter to Charles Deighton, he sees Eliza as a conquest. He writes that she is “an elegant partner; one exactly calculated to please my fancy; gay, volatile, apparently thoughtless of everything but present enjoyment” (18). Sanford does

In the text, Eliza is supposed to marry Mr. Haly, a man like her father but he got ill and died. Eliza looked forward to her freedom and wasn't trying to settle down anytime soon. The people around her thought that when Mr. Haly died that Eliza got a crazy or “buck wild”. She finally got her freedom did not want to become another married woman spoken and falling in the system. The people around her thought that maybe she was beginning to become coquettish. She met two men in this story but one, in particular, represents power and dominance. Major Sanford was the guy that abused her in this story. According to the letter sent to Charles Deighton from Major Sanford, “But I fancy this young lady is a coquette; and if so, I shall avenge my sex, by retaliating the mischiefs, she mediates against us.” (Foster, 18) He meant he

There are two different versions. The first version is Shaw’s version. Assuming to position Eliza in a real-life situation, Shaw seems to treat Eliza as an ambiguous character, thus the ending is indefinite. Through Eliza’s effort, she has gradually bridged the gap between herself and the life of the upper class people. Nonetheless, she has to face the dilemma: she may either continue to seek independence by making money on her own or be forced to get married to a rich nobleman. The vague ending has carried an implicit message: the female independence and unfair social relationships are yet to be

First of all, he showed up very late. He did this because he claimed if she waited, she obviously wanted to have sex with him. This is the craziest, and most demoralizing statement. Since he assumed she was there just for the sex, he began to treat Hannah disrespectfully. Hannah states, “Below the table, my fingers were fighting to pry your fingers off.

Leading up to this moment, Eliza has been the perfect passive mother that society conditioned her to be. However, after news of the affair becomes public, she rises up and transforms into a woman. She punishes Alexander for his actions by detaching herself from their marriage, and burning the letters they shared; Thereby destroying history’s chance to write her response to the affair for her. In turn, Eliza creates her own legacy by creating the first private orphanage in NYC, raising funds for the Washington Monument, and publicly speaking out against slavery, all on her

In the play Pygmalion and the atrocious movie made by Hallmark, The Makeover, there are many similarities and differences. The original play Pygmalion is set in London in the early 1900s. However, its modern counterpart, The Makeover, is set in modern day Boston. This is one of the many changes of these two, in addition to a number of parallels.

When hannah first moves to town she is desperate for friends. Once meeting Jessica hannah feels as though she can trust and confide in her. The friendship quickly comes to a halt when a student by the name of Alex releases a “hot list”. Jessica was listed as “worst ass” and Hannah was listed as “best ass”. This makes jessica jealous causing her to slap hannah and accuse her of seducing jessica’s boyfriend Alex.

Higgins tries to take all of the credit for Eliza’s transformation into a lady. In his mind, Eliza did nothing and without him, she would not have been able to accomplish this task. Mr. Higgins continues to express his dominance by telling Eliza what to do even though she does not work for him. Eliza does not like the way that Mr. Higgins treats her and leaves his house, angrily. After searching for Eliza, Mr. Higgins finally finds her and tells her that he paid for her services and she needs to finish her job. In this way, he treats her as if she is

However, Henry does not accept the change with Eliza. In the end there either a happy ending or an unhappy ending. In conclusion, to the girls that are waiting on their Prince Charming, be prepared for the bad and the good because stories do not always conclude to a happy

The use of British Standard English indexes someone as a figure of higher class or status, educated, and a gentleman/lady. This ideology is central to the plot of Pygmalion. The film centers on two “gentlemen” who attempt deceive others into believing that a “common woman” is actually a “lady” – a goal which they intend to achieve through teaching her to speak in the dialect used by speakers of British Standard

“Pygmalion was written to challenge the class system, traditional stereotypes and the audience’s own views.”

By naming his drama "Pygmalion," Shaw reminds people of the ancient Pygmalion Myth. Pygmalion, a sculptor, makes a beautiful statue and falls in love with his own creation. He prays that life may be granted to it. The gods give him his wish. The statue becomes a living girl named Galatea.
