Do you think Eliza would marry Freddy
or Henry Higgins?
Discuss with you classmates and give
your opinions and reasons.Make a dialogue about a possible endingSample dialogue S1: I think I’d like Henry to marry Eliza. They do really like each other.
S2: Yes, they do. But do you think Eliza would like being married to Henry? I think Pickering is so much nicer to her.
S1: Yes, indeed. So perhaps he’s really fond of her and would like to marry her!
S2: Yes. That would make a really good ending.
S1: Pickering shows care and concern for Eliza. She clearly likes him as he looks after her.
S2: He’s the only one to notice if she’s tired or needs something to eat.
Sample dialogue S1: Henry, on the other hand, is always rude to her and makes nasty comments about her. I think he still thinks of her as a flower girl.
S2: He would make a bad husband as he’s so unkind. He’d spend all his time with his men friends. He keeps telling her where she was going wrong. Poor Eliza! That’s not marriage!
S1: So we agree. The best solution would be for
Colonel Pickering to marry Eliza. Right now let’s find out what really happened…Now, please get ready to act out the ending that your group agree on.Role playGroup workThink about why Bernard Shaw did not end his play happily with Henry marrying Eliza. Remember that the story is based on the Greek tale of Pygmalion even though there is no character called Pygmalion in the play. Please work out the similarities and differences between the play and the story.Fill in the chartPost-readingGroup work Does Henry change? Consider these questions:His attitude changes. It seems he can’t live without her. He is actually in love with her, but he finds it difficult to show this feeling. He wants her to stay but is not prepared to give her anything that would make her stay.WritingNow use all this information you have gathered about the connection between the story and the play and write a review of the play. First, analyze the play in groups. You may find the following headings useful in your discussion:What is the theme of the play?Who are the main characters? What is the main plot?What time period is the play set in?Marketing DiagramAfter the discussion, decide on the organization of your review. You may have an outline like this:Para1:Para2:Para3:Para4: Sample review of the play Pygmalion I enjoyed studying the play Pygmalion very much I found it both amusing and interesting. As in the ancient Greek play the theme of the play changes. In the Greek play, the artist Pygmalion changes from a person who dislikes women to someone who loves one particular woman, Galatea. In this modern play Henry Higgins changes from a person who first dislikes Eliza to someone who does like Eliza though he will not admit it. In the Greek play the statue changes from stone into a real person. In this play Eliza changes from a flower girl into a beautiful and accomplished lady.
The play is set in the early 20th century. It is at a time when social groups in society are fixed and they can be identified through clothes and languages. So when ElizaSample review of the play PygmalionTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTimproves both her clothes and conversation, she is able to act like a real lady.
I think the time period in which the play is set increases my interest in the play. I enjoyed the use of badly spoken English. I like to see the way Eliza’s language changes from bad grammar to beautiful English. I also like the idea that she changed from being dirty and badly dressed to looking so beautiful that people think she must be a princess.
I learned a lot about English society a hundred years ago. I also enjoyed following the development of the people in the play. I look forward to seeing the play acted on the stage. Assignment Predict the end of the play.
