Pygmalion



PyGmalion, is one of the issue where we can debate about first impression.Does this first impression help to blind people? In this play, I can tell that it is interesting where Eliza wants to improve herself when she ask for help from Higgins and Pickering. higgins is a scientest of phonetics while Pickering is an Indian linguist. It is rather amusement when both of them can change Eliza in 6 months and she then became alike as a duchess. The issues that came to my mind is do Eliza can pass as a fake duchess and does this phonetics helps to impress people? In a short term, it does help to blind other people. But how long it is going to be? It is for a week or for months? Another issue that I can see is all about moral. Higgins does not show his morality even if he was born in high status family. Contradict to Eliza, she has her own moral when talking about the ethic even she come from low status family. She is intelligent in a way of what we call moral ethic. People should watch this movie as it give some issues to debate on.
