Warming up
The Pygmalion Effect is that people tend to behave as you expect they will. If you expect a person to take responsibility, they probably will. If you expect them not to even try, they probably won’t.
This play by George Bernard Shaw (萧伯纳) is an adaptation of a Greek story. Do you know this story?
Pygmalion, a gifted artist, dislike women. One day he makes a stone statue of a beautiful woman.
When he finishes the statue, he falls in love with it and goes to the Greek goddess, Aphrodite, to ask her to make the statue into a real woman.
His wish is granted.
The author-----George Bernard Shaw
An Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesman, and a leading figure in the 20th century theater.
His main works:
Immaturity
Widowers' Houses
Pygmalion

In Shaw’s play, Professor Higgins is a man who does not like women either and is very rude to them. For a bet he agrees to teach a poor young woman so that she can be passed off as a rich lady in high class society. So, like Pygmalion, Higgins creates a perfect young woman. Both the statue and Eliza depend on their creator for their new life.
