In George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion," the main character is Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert who makes a bet that he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl with a strong Cockney accent, into a refined lady who can pass as a duchess. The play explores themes of social class, identity, and transformation through their relationship. Higgins's character embodies both the brilliance and the flaws of a man who seeks to change others according to his vision.
