Problems and the Structure of the Play Shaws Pygmalion

Problems and the complex body part of the caper Shaws Pygmalion All the pieces show couples to an important claim brought Brecht contemporary theater, namely the theater should strive to provide the character man as modifiable and dep break offs on the screen Amenities 1. far as Shaw was fire in us the character and social status, particularly evidenced by the fact that a complete restructuring of the character he made stock-still the main theme of the athletics Pygmalion.After the exceptional success play and made it to the musical My Fair Lady story of Eliza was converted by Higgins Professor of Ph unmatchedtics of street girls in fashionable chick, today, perhaps better known than the Greek myth. Pygmalion was a fabulous king of Cyprus, fell in love with the mess it created statue of a girl, which subsequently married after the revitalization of Aphrodite at his urgent request. in enumerateigibly the intent which pursued Shaw, c entirelying the name of a mythical king o f the play. Name Pygmalion should recall that Eliza Doolittle was created by Alfred Higgins in the same manner as Galatea Pygmalion.Man created man-this is the lesson that, by his own admission Shaw, intensively consciously instructive play. This is the same lesson, which called Brecht, demanding that the construction of one shape was carried out according to construction of a nonher figure, because in bearing we argon forming mutually friend a nonher 2. Among literary critics, there is a perception that the play Shaw, more than play of another(prenominal) playwrights, promote certain political ideas. The doctrine of the mutability of benevolent nature, and depending on the fall apart Gear is nonhing, as the doctrine of social eterminism of the individual. The play Pygmalion is a good handbook, which addresses the problem of determinism. Even the occasion himself considered it an outstanding didactic play?. main problem, which show skillfully addresses in Pygmalion was the issue Whether the person falsify the substance?. This provision in the play is specified that the girl from the East End London with all the character traits of a street child, becomes a woman with character traits of ladies of high society To show how you female genitalia radically substitute a person, Shaw chose the transition from one extreme to another.If such a radical change in human possible in a relatively short time, the attestor must tell ourselves that if possible, and any other change in human beings. second important question of the play how it affects the human life. What gives a person the correct pronunciation? Is it enough to learn how to say, to change the social situation? hithers what he thinks on this subject, Professor Higgins ?But if you k hot how interesting take the man and by teaching him to speak other than than he spoke, so far, making it a very another, a new-fashioned creature.After all, it means to destroy the gap, which separates class from class and soul from the soul 3. as shown and repeatedly emphasizes in the play, dialect East London is contradictory with being a lady, as well as the language lady can fit in with the essence of a simple flower girl from the eastern district London. When Eliza had forgotten the language of his ageing valet de chambre, for it was closed there traversals. Thus break with the past was final. Eliza herself in During the play is well aw are of this. Thats what she tellsPickering ? utmost night, when I roamed the streets, a girl spoke with me, I valued her to answer as before, and I did not work 4. Bernard Shaw paid much attention to the problems of language. The play was a serious task Shaw wanted to attract attention of the British public to the issues of phonetics. He advocated the creation of a new alphabet, which is more would correspond to the sounds of the English language than the existing, and which would facilitate the task of learning the language to children and foreigne rs. o this problem Shaw repeatedly returned throughout his life, and according to his testament large sum was left to them to research designed to create a new English alphabet. These investigations still going on, and except a few years ago published a piece Androkl and Lion, printed marks a new alphabet, which was selected special committee of all the options proposed for the award. Shaw, perhaps the send-off to recognize the omnipotence of language in society, his exclusive social role, which indirectly in the same years, give tongue to psychoanalysis.That Shaw said this in a poster-didactic, but from the no less ironic, engrossing Pygmalion. Professor Higgins, albeit in their narrow forcefulness field, but still ahead of structuralism and post-structuralism, which in the second half of the century will feign the idea of discourse and totalitarian linguistic practices of its central theme of 5. In Pygmalion Shaw joined his two equally exciting topics the problem of social inequality and the problem of the classical English language. He believed that the social nature of man is expressed in various parts of the language in phonetics, grammar, vocabulary.While Eliza emits such vowels as aN aN-aN oy-oy, she does not like correctly notes Higgins, no chance to get out of the street environment. Therefore all his efforts are focused on changing the sound of her speech. What grammar and vocabulary of the language of rights in this regard are not Equally important, demonstrates how the first major failure of both phonetician in their efforts to re-education. Although the vowel and consonant sounds Eliza excellent guarantee to introduce her into society as a lady fails.Elizas words And thats where her straw hat, new, which was I get one? Stolen So I say, who stole his hat, he and his aunt bump off 6 even with perfect pronunciation and intonation are not English for the ladies and gentlemen. Higgins acknowledges that Eliza along with the new phonetics must also learn new grammar and new Dictionary. And along with them and a new culture. But language is not the sole expression of a human being. The release of an appointment with Mrs. Higgins has a single mistake Eliza not know what they say in the society in that language. Pickering also admitted that Eliza is not enough to possess inherent Lady pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. It must remove develop in a typical lady interests. Until her heart and consciousness is filled with problems of its old world the killing due to straw Hats and favorable effect of gin on the mood of her father she could not be a lady, even if its language is indistinguishable from the language of a lady 7. One of the theses of the play states that human nature is determined set to the identity, linguistic relationships are only its part.In the play this thesis is concretized by the fact that Eliza, along with learn more language lessons and rules of conduct. Consequently, Higgins it explains not only how to speak the language of a lady, but, for example, how to use a handkerchief. If Eliza did not know how to use a handkerchief, and if it resists a bath, then any viewer should be clear that the change it also requires a substantive change in its everyday behavior. extralinguistic relations between people of different classes so states the thesis, no less diverse than their speech in form and content. ombination of behavior, ie, form and content of speech, image opinions and thoughts, habitual behavior and typical responses Lyuda adapted to the conditions of their environment. Subjective and objective world being correspond to each other and mutually penetrate each other. From the indite be costly dramatic means to convince each audience. Shaw found a means to systematically applying a kind of alienation effect, forcing his characters time from time to act in a foreign environment, to then touchstone by step back them in their own environment, artfully creating initially trea sonably presentation to the highest degree their real essence.Then it seems gradually and methodically changed. ?Ex purview character of Eliza in a foreign environment is the meeting that it is ladies and gentlemen in the audience seems incomprehensible repulsive, ambiguous and strange. This impression is reinforced by reaction ladies and gentlemen on the stage. Thus, Shaw makes Mrs. Eynsford pitchers mound visibly excited when she watches as unfamiliar florist in a chance encounter on the street calls her son Freddie as my dear friend ?. ? The end of the first act is the beginning of the subroutine of re-education biased audience.She seemed to be merely points to mitigating circumstances that must be taken into account when sentencing the defendant Eliza. demonstration of innocence Eliza is given only in the next act through its rendering into a lady. Who unfeignedly believed that Eliza was intrusive because of essential depravity or corruption, and who could not correctly i nterpret the description of the environment at the end of the first act to open the eyes self-confident and proud statement that has been turned Eliza 8. How cautiously when re-education of their readers and viewers Shaw akes into account the biases can be confirmed by numerous examples. Widespread view of umpteen wealthy gentlemen, as you know, lies in the fact that residents of the East End are to blame for their poverty, so as can not save. Although they, like Eliza to Covent Garden, a greedy for money, but only to ensure that as soon as possible again wastefully spend it on absolutely useless things. They did not thought to use the money wisely, for example, for professional education. Shaw seeks a bias, as did others, first strengthened.Eliza, barely having obtained some money, already allows himself go home by taxi. But this instant begins an ex be afteration of this Elizas relationship to money. The next day, she hurries to spend it on own education. ?If a human being due t o the environment and if the objective being and objective conditions are mutually consistent with each other, then transubstantiation being possible only by substitute the medium or its change. This thesis in the play Pygmalion is specified so that the creation possibility of transformation of Eliza her completely isolated from the old world and transferred to a new 9.As a first step of its plan of re Higgins manages about baths, in which Eliza is released from heritage of the East End. Old dress, the closest to the body of the old environment, not even put aside, and burned. Not the slightest particle of the old World Eliza should not bind him, seriously think about it transformation. To show this, Shaw has put in place another particularly instructive incident. At the end of the play, when Eliza, in all probability, already finally turned into a lady, suddenly appearing in her father.Unexpected there is a check, giving the answer to the question of whether human Higgins, consid ering Elizas possible return to his former life (In the diaphragm window appears Doolittle. Throwing on Higgins reproachful and dignified look, he silently approaches his daughter, who sits with his back to the window and therefore does not see it. ) p Pickering. He is incorrigible, Eliza. But you can go back, right? Eliza. No. No longer. I carry learned my lesson well. Now I I can not make such sounds, as before, even if I wanted to. Doolittle behind places his hand on her shoulder. She drops her embroidery, looks around, and the sight of her fathers splendor all its exposure immediately evaporates. ) Y y -y Higgins (triumphantly). Aha Here, here Oo-ooy Oo-ooy Victory Victory 10. slight contact with only part of its old world makes low-key and seemingly ready to conduct a refined lady at some point again in a street child, who not only reacts as before, but, to my surprise, again, may make, seemed to have forgotten the sounds of the street.Given careful underscore the influence o f the environment the viewer could easily the false idea that if the characters in the world of heroes Shaw entirely amenable to limit the influence of the environment. To prevent this Show uncalled-for confusion with similar care and thoroughness introduced in his play counter-theses on the existence of natural abilities and their implications for the nature of an individual. It position is specified once in all four main characters of the play Eliza, Higgins, Doolittle and Pickering. ?Pygmalion is a mockery of the fans of red-hot blood ach My play was a stone which I threw into the window of the Victorian being 11 so the author himself spoke about his play. For Shaw it was important to show that all the qualities of Elise, which she reveals how a lady can already be found in the flower-like natural ability or the quality of that flower you can again be found in lady. Concept Shaw already contained in the description of the exterior of Eliza. After detailed movie of its outwa rd appearance says ?Without a doubt, it is in their own clean, but next to the ladies strongly believe draggle-tail.Facial features her bad, but the skin condition leaves much to be desired, in addition, it is noticeable that she needs the services dentist 12. transformation Doolittle in a gentleman, just like his daughter in ladies should appear on the external process. Here is how to modified only by his natural ability because of his new social status. As a stockholder cheese Trust Friend of the stomach and prominent speaker uonnafellerovskoy the World League of moral reform, he, in Indeed, even stayed in his present profession, which,Elizas testimony, even before its social transformation was to extort money from other people, setting in motion his eloquence. But the most convincing argument for the presence of natural abilities and their brilliance for the creation of character is demonstrated by the example of couples Higgins Pickering. Both of their social status gentlemen, but with the dispute that Pickering and his temperament gentleman, at the While Higgins prone to rudeness. Difference and similarity of both characters systematically demonstrated in their behavior towardsEliza. Higgins, from the outset is drawn to her rude, impolite, unceremoniously. In her presence, he spoke of her silly girl, scarecrow? , So irresistibly vulgar, so blatantly dirty, nasty, spoiled girl and the like. He asks his housekeeper Eliza wrapped in newspaper and impel into the dustbin. The only normal conversation with her is imperious form, but the preferred way to influence Eliza a threat. Pickering, an innate gentleman, on the contrary, in the treatment of Eliza
