Pygmalion- 1

I like how we really don't learn the identities of most of the characters until later on in the play. We don't learn Eliza's name for a little while, and we don't learn the identities of the mother and daughter until later on in the story as well. I also think it is strange how rude Professor Higgins is. He is just plain rude to almost everyone, except for Pickering (usually). But I guess it makes him a more interesting character because of that. It makes him more unpredictable, which is amusing.

I thought it was an interesting choice by George Bernard Shaw to write out Eliza's speech in the beginning exactly how she was pronouncing it. It was sort of a pain to read, but I guess he does that to emphasize just how bad her speech and grammer was. You can definately tell the difference by later on in the play.
