본문내용
There is an idiom that “Example is better than precept.” George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion depicts the story in which a flower girl from the gutter, Eliza Doolittle learns how to be a lady from Henry Higgins who is a phonetician. Although Higgins has a critical view to Eliza due to her linguistic habits and poor manners, Higgins, himself has the biggest problem in this play. He always disregards other people and shows an attitude which does not match his age. In other words, Higgins is not only “a middle-aged bully” but “a middle-aged adolescent” who displays bad manners and has a childlike attachment to his mother (Weintraub 338). For these reasons, it seems that we should approach his inner mind in that the characteristic he has shown is not just something special but needed to be corrected. Higgins lacking of sociality reminds us of the cowardly lion, the tin woodman, and the scarecrow that are also lacking courage, heart and wisdom in Lyman Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. These are must-have factors Higgins should have.
