My Fair Lady: A Critical Review · Alnoor Digital Repository

Title: My Fair Lady: A Critical Review
Abstract: This study represents a critical review of the 1956 musical stage play
“ My fair Lady” that had been based on George Bernard Shaw's 1913
play “Pygmalion”. The idea of transformation and its adaptations are the
main interest of the researchers, starting from the Greek myth of
Pygmalion. Textual analysis is carefully used to highlight the difficult
transformation of Higgins who was a bachelor, misogynistic, and
arrogant Professor. The transformation of Eliza, the cockney flower girl,
was much easier than Higgins, because she was poor and motivated to
change her social status. While, Higgins’ transformation was not his
choice as Eliza confused him immensely and led him to change his mind. A
recommendation for a contrastive research of the Arabic adaptation of
Pygmalion by Tawfek Al-Hakim is included in this paper.
