Question

How does Shaw’s Pygmalion differ from a traditional fairy tale or romantic comedy? What theme is Shaw trying to communicate through his play?

Answer 1

answer:

here's what i believe the theme to be-

pygmalion explores and touches on how social identity is formed not only through patterns of speech, but also through one's general appearance. and much like speech, one's physical appearance signals, social class.

what makes pygmalion different in my opinion is that it talks about real life and isn't sugar-coated and movie-like as most plays are. for me, i feel as if this play gives people the relatability that is usually missing.

good luck :)

i hope this helps

brainliest would be highly appreciated

have a nice day!
