Education is Inner Reformation in Preference to Outer Appearance - A Study with Pygmalion of G.B. Shaw
Keywords:
Pygmalion, Education, Appearance, IdentityAbstract
In the play Shaw try to define true educational is to amend someone’s thinking, behaviour, and helps to make their lives better rather than change one's appearance. Here Higgins failed to be a good teacher. He focuses more on Eliza's looks and speech but less on how she feels and her actual character building.
