Shavian realism refers to the approach to drama and literature associated with George Bernard Shaw, emphasizing the depiction of social issues and human behavior with a focus on realism and wit. Shaw's works often critique societal norms and explore themes of morality, politics, and gender, using sharp dialogue and humor to engage audiences. This blend of realism with a distinctively critical perspective aims to provoke thought and inspire change, making Shaw a significant figure in both modern drama and social commentary.

One way to identify a Shavian play is to determine if it is written by Shaw and if it contains classic Shavian elements such wit, sharp dialogue, fabulously layered characters and references to the classics. In addition, he is famous for â??comedies of mannersâ??. With the story about a wager made by an upper class Svengali that he can remake a low class women into â??a great Lady", 'Pygmalionâ?? is classic Shavian.
"Pygmalion" is considered a Shavian play because it reflects the social commentary and wit typical of George Bernard Shaw's work. It challenges conventional ideas about class, gender, and society, features sharp dialogue, and uses humor to critique societal norms. Shaw's distinctive voice and themes of self-improvement and social mobility are also evident in "Pygmalion."
