The setting of George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion" primarily takes place in early 20th-century London, reflecting the social class divisions and cultural norms of the time. Key locations include Covent Garden, where Eliza Doolittle sells flowers, and Professor Henry Higgins's phonetics laboratory, which serves as the central space for Eliza's transformation. The contrast between the working-class environment and the upper-class society highlights themes of class and identity throughout the play.
