In Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, Eliza Doolittle is a flower- girl who unexpectedly meets Professor Higgins, a phonetician, during a rainy night in Covent Garden, London. Later, Eliza is undertaken as a pupil of the Professor, as part of an experiment, in which he promises to passes her as a noble in the period of six months. However, to conform to Higgins's home, Eliza has to deal with his rudeness and lack of empathy. The Professor thinks that she has not feelings and that the only purpose of the lessons will be to concentrate on her speech and appearance. Confronting this situation, Eliza decides to leave Higgins's home, but he convinces her to stay by tempting the girl with thoughts of wealth and prosperity. During this process of making Eliza into a refined lady, she will have to put up with the Professor's constantly mistreatment and mockery to fullfil her aim.

Why does the king in "The Tortoise with a Pretty Daughter" make the law about daughters?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

C). He is angry and disappointed with his son.

Explanation:

In reference to the Nigerian folktale 'The Tortoise with a Pretty Daughter', the chief reason for making the law regarding daughters by stating that 'any girl finer than fifty wives of the Prince shall be killed along with her parents' is that 'he is very angry and disappointed with his son' who did not like any of the fifty young wives offered to him by his father. In his wrath, he passed this law due to which the tortoise and his wife keep their daughter(who was very beautiful) hidden to guard her against this law. However, the prince falls in love with her later and gets married to her after a long battle with his father(due to the law passed by him). Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
