1- The play “Promallon” had a historical origin What was the significance

of the title, Pygmalion?


Show took his title from the ancient Greek legend of
the famous sculptor named Pygmalion who thought that
women behaved in a very bad way. So he carved a statue
of an extremely beautiful woman which he loved.
Consequently, at a festival, he prayed to the goddess of
love, Aphrodite, that he might have the statue come to
life When he reached home, to his amazement, he found
that his wish had been fulfilled and he proceeded to
marry the statue, which he named Galatea.

2- Show Introduced important themes in his play, Pygmalion. Diaguer


Shaw believed in the importance of true education. So, he chose Professor,
Higgins to be the main character in the play, Higgins decided to teach the flower
girl, Eliza, good manners of high-class people. He wanted to prove that, the gap
between the upper class and the lower one can be overcome through education.
Another important part was the independence of woman. Higgins considered Eliza
as a dummy which had to obey the orders without discussion. He forgot that she
was a real human being who had an independent personality. Higgins was
surprised at Eliza's decision of independence after being educated. He changed his
idea about Eliza

3- Show made a good use of the Introductory scene to introduce his main
characters: Explain.
The play began in London where the weather was very bad and it was raining
heavily. Some people were running for shelter into a church, Among them
Professor Higgins was standing. He was introduced as a "note taker" as he was
busy writing in a notebook He was taking notes on what people were saying in
order to guess the place where they come from. Other people in the scene were a
mother, Mrs Eynsford Hill, and her daughter, Clara. They were waiting for Freddy,
Clara's brother who went to get a cab (taxi) for them but he wouldn't come back
till the end of the act. They represented the upper class in society There was also
a girl selling flowers, Eliza, who represented the poor low class

(1)
1-Henry Higgins

He is a professor of phonetics who plays "Pygmalion" to Eliza.


He is the author of Higgins' Universal Alphabet. He is not
traditional. He goes in the opposite direction from the rest of
society in most matters. The only reason the world has not turned
against him because he is good and harmless. His biggest fault
is that he can act as a bully .‫ يتصرف كمستبد‬He is a phonetician by
profession and can place any man in London within two miles.
He claims that he can teach anybody any dialect including how to
speak correctly.

2-Colonel Pickering

the author of Spoken Sanskrit, is like Higgins, but he is less obsessive; in his
passion for phonetics. Higgins is a tough, careless ‫ مهمل‬and bully. Pickering is
always considerate ‫ مراعى لشعور األخرين‬and a true gentleman. He helps in the Eliza
experiment by making a wager of it. Higgins manages to teach Eliza
pronunciations. Pickering teaches her to respect herself.

3-Eliza Doolittle

She is not at all a romantic figure. She is like a bridge to reach the theme of the
play. She is not at all an attractive person. She is perhaps eighteen, perhaps
twenty, hardly older. She wears a little sailor's hat of black straw that has long
been exposed to the dust and soot of London. Her hair needs washing: its mousy
color can hardly be natural. She wears a shoddy ‫ رخيص‬black coat that reaches
nearly to her knees and is shaped to her waist. She has a brown skirt with a coarse
apron ‫مريله خشنه‬. Her boots are much the worse for wear.

Alfred Doolittle

He is Eliza's father. He is old, but a strong dustman. He has had at least six
wives. He doesn't fear anything. When he learns that his daughter has entered
Higgins' home; he at once follows to see if he can get some money out Of Higgins.
His speeches are honest though he is bad.

(2)
Freddy Eynsford Hill

From the very beginning, Higgins thinks that Freddy is a


fool ‫أحمق‬. In the opening scene he has no will. He becomes lovesick
‫ مريض بالحب‬for Eliza, and courts ‫ يغازل‬her with letters.

Mrs. Higgins-

Professor Higgins' mother. Mrs. Higgins is a stately ‫ مهيب‬lady a-ed-a in her


sixties who sees the Eliza experiment as idiocy ‫حماقه‬, Too; she considers Higgins
and Pickering as senseless ‫ بدون احساس‬children. She is worried about Eliza and
about the whole affair.

ACT[I]
Covent Garden at 11.15 p.m. Torrents of heavy summer rain. Cab whistles
‫صفارات‬blowing frantically in all directions. Pedestrians ‫ المارة‬running for shelter
into the market and under the portico of St. Paul's Church, where there are already
several people, among them a lady and her daughter in evening dress. They are
all peering out gloomily ‫ بكابة‬at the rain, except one man with his back turned to
the rest, who seems wholly preoccupied ‫ مشغو ال‬with a notebook in which he is
writing busily.

THE DAUGHTER: [in the space between the central pillars close to the one on her
left] I'm getting chilled ‫ أشعر بالبرد الشديد‬to the bone. What can Freddy be doing all this
time? He's been gone twenty minutes.
THE MOTHER: [on her daughter's right] Not so long. But he ought to have got us
a cab by this.
A BYSTANDER: [on the lady's right] He won't get no cab not until half-past eleven,
missus, when they come back after dropping their theatre fares.
THE MOTHER: But we must have a cab. We can't stand here until half-past eleven.
It's too bad.
THE BYSTANDER: Well, it ain't my fault, missus.
(3)
THE DAUGHTER: If Freddy had a bit of gumption, he would have got one at the
theatre door.
THE MOTHER: What could he have done, poor boy?
THE DAUGHTER: Other people got cabs. Why couldn't he?
Freddy rushes in out of the rain from the Southampton Street side, and comes between
them closing a dripping umbrella. He is a young man of twenty, in evening dress, very
wet around the ankles.
THE DAUGHTER: Well, haven't you got a cab?
FREDDY: There's not one to be had for love or money.
THE MOTHER: Oh, Freddy, there must be one. You can't have tried.
THE DAUGHTER: It's too tiresome. Do you expect us to go and get one ourselves?

RETSENIOR 1
FREDDY: I tell you they're all engaged ‫مشغولين‬. The rain was so sudden: nobody
was prepared, and everybody had to take a cab. I've been to Charing Cross one way
and nearly to Ludgate Circus the other; and they were all engaged.
THE MOTHER: Did you try Trafalgar Square?
FREDDY: There wasn't one at Trafalgar Square.
THE DAUGHTER: Did you try?
FREDDY: I tried as far as Charing Cross Station. Did you expect me to walk to
Hammersmith?
THE DAUGHTER: You haven't tried at all.
THE MOTHER: You really are very helpless, Freddy. Go again; and don't come
back until you have found a cab.
FREDDY: I shall simply get soaked ‫ يتبلل‬for nothing.
THE DAUGHTER: And what about us? Are we to stay here all night in this
draught ‫ تيار هوائي‬with next to nothing on. You selfish pig-

(4)
FREDDY: Oh, very well: I'll go, I'll go. [He opens his umbrella and dashes off ‫يندفع‬
Strand wards, but comes into collision with a flower girl, who is hurrying in for shelter,
knocking her basket out of her hands. A blinding flash of lightning, followed instantly
by a rattling peal of thunder, orchestrates the incident]

THE FLOWER GIRL: Nah then, Freddy: look wh' y' gowin, deah.
FREDDY: Sorry [he rushes off].
THE FLOWER GIRL: [picking up her scattered ‫ مبعثرة‬flowers and replacing them
in the basket] There's menners f yer! Te-oo banches o voylets trod into the mad.
[She sits down on the plinth of the column, sorting her flowers, on the lady's right.
She is not at all an attractive person. She is perhaps eighteen, perhaps twenty, hardly
older. She wears a little sailor hat of black straw that has long been exposed to the
dust and soot ‫ سخام‬of London and has seldom if ever been brushed. Her hair needs
washing rather badly: its mousy color can hardly be natural. She wears a shoddy
‫ رخيص‬black coat that reaches nearly to her knees and is shaped to her waist. She has
a brown skirt with a coarse apron. Her boots are much the worse for wear. She is no
doubt as clean as she can afford to be; but compared to the ladies she is very dirty.
Her features are no worse than theirs; but their condition leaves something to be
desired; and she needs the services of a dentist].

THE MOTHER: How do you know that my son's name is Freddy, pray ily?
THE FLOWER GIRL: Ow, eez ye-ooa san, is e? Wal, fewd dan y' de-ooty bawmz
mather should, eed now bettern to spawl a pore gel's flahrzn than ran awy atbaht
pyin. Will yeoo py me f 'them? [Here, with apologies, this desperate attempt to
represent her dialect without a phonetic alphabet must be abandoned as unintelligible
outside London.]
THE DAUGHTER: Do nothing of the sort, mother. The idea!
THE MOTHER: Please allow me, Clara. Have you any pennies?
THE DAUGHTER: No. I've nothing smaller than sixpence ‫نصف شيلن‬
THE FLOWER GIRL: [hopefully] I can give you change for a tanner, ‫ سته بنسات‬kind
lady
THE MOTHER: [to Clara] Give it to me. [Clara parts reluctantly]. Now [to the girl]
This is for your flowers.
THE FLOWER GIRL: Thank you kindly, lady.

(5)
THE DAUGHTER: Make her give you the change. These things are only a penny a
bunch.
THE MOTHER: Do hold your tongue, Clara. [To the girl]. You can keep the change.
THE FLOWER GIRL: Oh, thank you, lady.
THE MOTHER: Now tell me how you know that young gentleman's name.
THE FLOWER GIRL: I didn't.
THE MOTHER: I heard you call him by it. Don't try to deceive me.
THE FLOWER GIRL: [protesting] Who's trying to deceive you? I called him Freddy
or Charlie same as you might yourself if you was talking to a stranger and wished to
be pleasant. [She sits down beside her basket].
THE DAUGHTER: Sixpence thrown away! Really, mamma, you might have spared
Freddy that. [She retreats in disgust behind the pillar].
An elderly gentleman of the amiable military type rushes into shelter, and closes a
dripping umbrella. He is in the same plight as Freddy, very wet about the ankles. He
is in evening dress with a light overcoat. He takes the place left vacant ‫ فارغ‬by the
daughter's retirement ‫تراجع‬
THE GENTLEMAN: Phew!
THE MOTHER: [to the gentleman] Oh, sir, is there any sign of its stopping?
THE GENTLEMAN: I'm afraid not. It started worse than ever about two minutes
ago. [He goes to the plinth beside the flower girl; puts up his foot on it; and stoops to
turn down his trouser ends].
THE MOTHER: Oh, dear! [She retires sadly and joins her daughter].
BOMATE TE PHY THE FLOWER GIRL: [taking advantage of the military gentleman's
proximity to establish friendly relations with him]. If it's worse it's a sign it's nearly
over. So cheer up, Captain; and buy a flower off a poor girl. WIRID SEWO FENT
THE GENTLEMAN: I'm sorry, I haven't any change.
THE FLOWER GIRL: I can give you change, Captain,
THE GENTLEMEN: For a sovereign ‫ ?جنيه ذهبى‬I've nothing less.
THE FLOWER GIRL: Garn! Oh do buy a flower off me, Captain. I can change half-
a- crown.‫ قطعة نقدية فضة تساوي خمس شلنات‬Take this for tuppence .

(6)
THE GENTLEMAN: Now don't be troublesome ‫مزعجة‬: there's a good girl. [Trying
his pockets] I really haven't any change-Stop: here's three hapence, if that's any use
to you [he retreats to the other pillar].
THE FLOWER GIRL: [disappointed, but thinking three halfpence better than
nothing] Thank you, sir.
THE BYSTANDER: [to the girl] You be careful: give him a flower for it. There's a
bloke ‫ رجل‬here behind taking down every blessed word you're saying. [All turn to the
man who is taking notes].

THE FLOWER GIRL: [springing up terrified] I ain't done nothing wrong by


speaking to the gentleman. I've a right to sell flowers if I keep off the kerb
‫[الرصيف‬Hysterically] I'm a respectable girl: so help me, I never spoke to him except to
ask him to buy a flower off me. [General hubbub, ‫ الصخب‬mostly sympathetic ‫متعاطف‬
to the flower girl, but Cries of Don't start hollerin‫ صراخ‬. deprecating her excessive
sensibility ‫ حساسيتها الزائد‬Who's hurting you? Nobody's going to touch you. What's the
good of fussing? Steady on. Easy, easy, etc., come from the elderly staid spectators
who pat her comfortingly. Less patient ones bid her shut her head, or ask her roughly
what is wrong with her. A remoter group, not knowing what the matter is, crowd in
and increase the noise with question and answer: What's the row ‫ ?الضجة‬What she
do? Where is he? A tec taking her down. What! him? Yes: him over there: Took money
off the gentleman, etc. The flower girl, distraught and mobbed, breaks through them
to the gentleman, crying mildly] Oh, sir, don't let him charge me. You dunno what it
means to me. They'll take away my character and drive me on the streets for speaking
to gentlemen. They-

THE NOTE TAKER: looming forward on her right, the rest crowding after him]
there, there, there! Who's hurting you, you silly girl? What do you take me for?
THE BYSTANDER: It’s all right: he's a gentleman: look at his boots. [Explaining
to the note taker] She thought you was a copper’s nark ‫الخبز‬, sir.
THE NOTE TAKER: [with quick interest] What’s a copper’s nark?
THE BYSTANDER: [inept ‫ أحمق‬at definition] It’s a—well, it’s a copper’s nark, as
yoL might say. What else would you call it? A sort of informer.
THE FLOWER GIRL: [still hysterical] I take my Bible oath I never said a word—
THE NOTE TAKER [overbearing but good-humored] Oh, shut up, shut up. Do I
look like a policeman?

(7)
THE FLOWER GIRL: [far from reassured] Then what did you take down my words
for? How do I know whether you took me down right? You just show me what you’ve
wrote about me. [The note taker opens his book and holds it steadily under her nose
though the pressure of the mob trying to read it over his shoulders would upset a
weaker man]. What's that? That ain’t proper writing. I can’t read that.
THE NOTE TAKER: I can. [Reads, reproducing her pronunciation exactly] “Cheer
ap, Keptin; n' haw ya flahr orf a pore gel."
THE FLOWER GIRL: [much distressed] It’s because I called him Captain. I meant
no harm. [To the gentleman] Oh, sir, don’t let him lay a charge agen me for a word
like that. You—
THE GENTLEMAN: Charge! I make no charge. [To the note taker] Really, sir, if
you are a detective, you need not begin protecting me against molestation ‫مضايقه‬
young women until I ask you. Anybody could see that the girl meant no harm.
THE BYSTANDERS GENERALLY: [demonstrating against police
espionage ‫ ] نجسس‬Course they could. What business is it of yours? You mind your own
affairs. He wants promotion, he does. Taking down people’s words! Girl never said a
word to him. What harm if she did? Nice thing a girl can’t shelter from the rain without
being insulted, etc., etc., etc. [She is conducted by the more sympathetic demonstrators
back to her plinth, where she resumes her seat and struggles with her emotion].
THE BYSTANDER: He ain’t a tec . He’s a blooming busybody‫ فضولى‬that’s what
he is , I tell you, look at this book
THE NOTE TAKER [turning on him genially] And how are all your people down at
Selsey?
THE BY STANDER: [suspiciously] Who told you my people come from Selsey ?
THE NOTE TAKER : Never you mind. They did. [To the girl] How do you come to
be up so far east? You were born in Lisson Grove.
THE FLOWER GIRL: appalled OH, what harm is there in my leaving Lisson Grove?
It wasn’t fit for a pig to live in; and I had to pay four-and -six a week. [In tears] Oh,
Poo— hoo— oo
THE NOTE TAKER: Live w here you like; but stop that noise.
THE GENTLEMAN: [to the girl] Come, come! he can't touch you: you have a right
to live where you please.

ASARCASTIC ‫ ساخر‬BYSTANDER , [thrusting him self between the note taker
and the gentleman] Park Lane, for instance. I’d like to go into the Housing Question
with you, I would.
THE FLOWER GIRL [subsiding into a brooding melancholy over her basket, and
talking very low -spiritedly to herself] I’m a good girl, I am.
THE SAR CASTIC BY STANDER: [not attending to her] Do you know where /
come from?
THE NOTE TAKER [prom ptly] Hoxton. Titterings. Popular interest in the note
taker's perfomiance increases.
THE SAR CASTICONE [amazed] W ell, who said I didn’t? Bly me! You know
everything, you do.
THE FLOWER GIRL: [still nursing her sense of injury] Ain’t no call to meddle with
me, he ain’t.
THE BY STANDER : [to her] Of course he ain’t. Don’t you stand it from him. [To
the note taker] See here: what call have you to know about people what never offered
to meddle with you? Where's your warrant?
SEVERAL BY STANDERS : [encouraged by this seeming point of law] Yes :
where ’s your warrant ‫? مبرر‬
The flower Girl: Let him say what he likes. I Don’t want to have no truck with him
The Bystander: you take us for dirt under your feet, don’t you? Catsh you taking

The sarcastic Bystander: yes: tell him where he come from if you want to o

The note taker: Cheltenham, Harrow, Cambridge, and india
The Genteleman: quite right [Great laughter. Reaction in the note faker's favor.
Exclamations of He knows all about it. Told him proper. Hear him tell the toff where
he come from? etc.). May I ask, sir, do you do this for your living at a music hall?
THE NOTE TAKER: I've thought of that. Perhaps I shall some day. The rain has
stopped; and the persons on the outside of the crowd begin to drop off.

(9)
THE FLOWER GIRL: (resenting the reaction] He's no gentleman, he ain't, to
interfere with a poor girl.
THE DAUGHTER: out of patience, pushing her way rudely to the front and
THE NOTE TAKER: [to himself, hastily making a note of her pronunciation of
*monis] Earlscourt.
THE DAUGHTER: (violently) Will you please keep your impertinent remarks to
THE MOTHER [advancing between her daughter and the note taker] How very
curious! I was brought up in Largelady Park, near Epsom.
THE NOTE TAKER: Juproariously amused] Ha! ha! What a devil of a name! Excuse
me. To the daughter] You want a cab, do you?
THE MOTHER: Oh, please, please Clara. [Her daughter repudiates her with an
angry shrug and retires haughtily.] We should be so grateful to you, sir, if you found
us a cab. [The note taker produces a whistle]. Oh, thank you. [She joins her daughter).
The note taker blows a piercing blast.
THE SARCASTIC BYSTANDER: There! I knowed he was a plain-clothes copper
THE BYSTANDER: That ain't a police whistle: that's a sporting whistle.
THE FLOWER GIRL: (still preoccupied with her wounded feelings) He's no right
to take away my character. My character is the same to me as any lady's.
THE NOTE TAKER: I don't know whether you've noticed it but the rain stopped
about two minutes ago. THE BYSTANDER: So it has. Why didn't you say so before? and
us losing our time listening to your silliness. He walks off towards the Strand]
THE SARCASTIC BYSTANDER: I can tell where you come Anwell. Go back
there.
THE NOTE TAKER. [helpfully] Hanwell.
THE SARCASTIC BYSTANDER (affecting great distinction of speech] Thank you teacher.
Haw haw! So long [he touches his hat with mock respect and strolls off
THE FLOWER GIRL: Frightening people like that! How would he like it himself
THE MOTHER: It's quite fine now. Clara. We can walk to a motor bus. Come (She
gathers her skirts above her ankles and hures off towards the Strand]

(10)
THE DAUGHTER: But the cab-[her mother is out of hearing! Oh, how tiresome!
[She follows angrily]. All the rest have gone except the note taker, the gentleman and
the flower girl, who sits arranging her basket, and still pitying herself in murmurs
THE FLOWER GIRL: Poor girl! Hard enough for her to live without being wonted
and chivied.
THE GENTLEMAN: (returning to his former place on the note takers eft) How do
you do it, if I may ask?
THE NOTE TAKER: Simply phonetics. The science of speech. That's my profession
also my hobby. Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby! You can spot
an Irishman or a Yorkshireman by his brogue. I can place any man within six miles i
can place him within two miles in London. Sometimes within two streets
THE FLOWER GIRL: Ought to be ashamed of himself, unmanly coward
THE GENTLEMAN: But is there a living in that?

Shall I compare thee to a summers day? Thou art more lovely and more
temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May And summers lease
hath all too short a date:

thee: you thou art: you are


temperate: moderate; mild rough: wild; not soft

buds: young rolled - up flowers or leaves before they open lease:


rent; (summer ‘rents' a certain amount of time)
hath: has date: time

Shakespeare begins his sonnet asking whether he should compare


his beloved to a summer’s day. The answer comes immediately: his
beloved is more beautiful and more delightful. Then the poet begins
to point out the imperfections of summer. He says that even in May,
it ' is sometimes windy, and the strong winds shake the small fragile
buds. Moreover, summer does not last for long; it is far too short and
gives way tb the other seasons.

a- Metaphor Line 4 “And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:" •
Summer is compared to something leased for a short time.
b- Repetition: Line 2 “Thou art more lovely and more temperate:” • The
word ‘more1 is repeated twice.
c- Contrast: Lines 1 - 2 “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” Thou art
more lovely and more temperate:” • The image of hot summer is
contrasted with the delightful image of his beloved. d. Assonance: Line
4 “And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:” The same vowel sound
“o” is repeated in “too” and “short”.

Some times too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion
dimm’d ; And every fair from fair sometimes declines, By chance, or natures
changing course, untrimmed;

eye of heaven: the sun

complexion: the natural colour of the skin, especially of the face.

dimm'd: (dimmed)made not bright fair: beauty; beautiful thing

declines: to become less; decays

untrimmed: deprived of beauty; unpleasant

The second quatrain (stanza) continues to develop the argument and


discusses the flaws of the summer, which is described as a season of extremes
and disappointments. A summer’s day is ruined when the sun shines too
brightly and makes the weather too hot, or when the sun is dimmed by clouds.
This suggests that the sun is rarely or never in a desirable medium. A summer’s
day is finally darkened by night, and darkness replaces sunshine. The poet
states that every beautiful creature will eventually lose its beauty, either
through some accident or because it is natural for all living things to grow and
die.

a- Metaphor Line 1
The sun is likened to the eye of heaven.
b- Personification:
Line 1 “Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,"
• Heaven is personified as a human being who can see.
Line 2 “And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;”
• The sun is personified as a human being with a face and complexion.
c- Alliteration:
Line 3 “And every fair from fair sometimes declines,"
• The consonant sound T is repeated in ‘fair’, ‘from’, and ‘fair’.
