Discuss the different ways of representing class conflicts. Pygmalion‚ Bernard Shaw‚ 1914 My Fair Lady‚ George Cukor‚ 1964 “As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men‚ I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.” This famous quotation of French playwright Molière proves how powerfully theater and social criticism are linked‚ and how in its different genres‚ drama as well as comedy‚ theater can‚ and maybe must‚ be a way of communicating and expressing the human and society’s flaws

A Character Essay on Eliza: Pygmalion The story of Pygmalion is based on a classical myth‚ and Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion plays on the complicated relationships in a social setting. Professor Henry Higgins takes Eliza Doolittle to teach her the art of phonetics and to refine her manners.

Comedy should subvert but Pygmalion just confirms the conformist message that class is fixed and shouldn’t be fluid. Discuss. In Pygmalion‚ the time era is Edwardian‚ and class can be seen as both fixed and fluid.

History The term was coined in 1950 by Henry A. Landsberger[3] when analysing older experiments from 1924–1932 at the Hawthorne Works (a Western Electric factory outside Chicago). Hawthorne Works had commissioned a study to see if its workers would become more productive in higher or lower levels of light. The workers’ productivity seemed to improve when changes were made and slumped when the study was concluded. It was suggested that the productivity gain occurred due to the impact of the motivational
