Pigmalion by George Bernard Shaw
A Romance in Five Acts
A brash linguist bets he can transform a poor Cockney flower seller into someone who can pass for high society simply by teaching her to speak properly, and the experiment exposes the arbitrary nature of class distinctions, the power of language to shape identity, and the moral complications that follow when a pupil gains independence and challenges her teacher’s assumptions, leaving relationships and social expectations unsettled.
