I love it.
It's an amazing story.I wish the end was a bit different.
But I think it was more realistic.

We all know the story of My Fair Lady from the theatre; nice to read the original play.

“galatea never does quite like pygmalion: his relation to her is too godlike to be altogether agreeable.”



“but you have no idea how frightfully interesting it is to take a human being and change her into a quite different human being by creating a new speech for her. it’s filling up the deepest gulf that separates class from class and soul from soul.”

independence, that middle class blasphemy!

this was my first audiobook and it went pretty well, idk if it worked for me when it didn't before because there were multiple voices? i should probably have given more than twenty minutes of a try first time around but tbf i didn't rly feel the need to.. this is super helpful now because i can't Read while working

This play was smart and hilarious. I loved the interaction between the characters and how it addressed a more serious issue while being laugh out loud funny.

After watching My Fair Lady (with Audrey Hepburn) I was unsure what I was going to think of this play. But I LOVED George Bernard Shaw's ending (ie. his sequel which is at the end of the play) - he made her a strong independent woman - demanding what she deserved and getting more than even what she asked or knew - his ending made both her character and the character of Higgins far more lovable and just seemed to make more sense to who she was as a person throughout the play -- I also just love Shaw's commentary on society at that time and women at that time in his 'sequel' - it was very well written and interesting and quite funny at times (much like his prequel at the start).

I will definitely re-read again later when I don't have Audrey on my mind and set as Liza, as I think Julia Andrews would have done a killer job in the musical version of this play as well. But again that ending not as good as this one ! (And Im a romantic at heart so that is tough for me, but I just think this version is far superior)

read for school... if shaw was alive now he would definitely be saying yass and slay
