In George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion," the character of Freddy Eynsford-Hill represents a freed Roman slave in the sense that he embodies the struggles and aspirations of those seeking social mobility. His interactions with Eliza Doolittle, a flower girl striving to improve her own status, highlight themes of class and transformation. However, it is worth noting that the play primarily focuses on Eliza's journey from a lower social class to one of greater refinement, mirroring the broader narrative of personal liberation and self-identity. The concept of a freed Roman slave serves as a metaphor for the potential of individuals to transcend their origins through education and determination.

A Roman slave could be freed through a process called "manumission," which could occur in several ways. A slave owner might grant freedom voluntarily, often as a reward for loyalty or service. Slaves could also earn their freedom by saving enough money to purchase it, or through legal proceedings whereby they could prove they had been wrongfully enslaved. Additionally, some slaves were freed upon the death of their owner, as stipulated in the owner's will.
