Having just finished this in my Brit Lit class, I felt the urgent need to review it on Goodreads. I can't see anything new or brilliant about Pygmalion. If you want to read a brilliant Pymalion review, see the one Nataliya wrote. What I can tell you is that it's funny, insightful, and kind of infuriating with it comes to punctuation. Eliza Dolittle is a strong, independent woman (rock on!), and I hope she hit Higgins really hard with those slippers. I hated Higgins. I hated him. He is a masochist arrogant jerk who needs a good slap to the head Gibbs-style. Colonel Pickering provides the perfect balance. After reading this play, I am desperate to see My Fair Lady because I a) love Audrey Hepburn movies and b) want to see how the play and musical compare despite the difference. Unfortunately, my Brit Lit teacher cannot be convinced to show the whole thing to us, only bits, so I'll have to rent it on my own. Darn! Anyway, I definitely recommend.
