From the options given, the one that best analyzes how Shaw draws upon the work of the Roman poet, Ovid, is A: Like Ovid's main character, <em>Shaw's main character portrays a level of disdain for women.</em>
Explanation:
First, let's say that we are talking about <em>Pygmalion</em>, by George Bernard Shaw, a play published in 1913. <em>Pygmalion</em> derives its name from the famous story in Ovid's <em>Metamorphoses</em>, in which Pygmalion feels disgusted by the loose and shameful lives of the women of his era. Due to this feeling, he decides to live alone and unmarried.
In this case, like Pygmalion (the main character from <em>Metamorphoses</em>), <u>the main character feels disgusted by them -women-, that is why the correct answer is A.
