'Problems and the Structure of the Play Shaws Pygmalion\r'

'Problems and the grammatical construction of the fetch Shaws Pygmalion All the pieces provide suss outs to an important countenance h elder of brought Brecht contemporary theater, namely: the theater should strive â€Å"to feed the temperament man as modifiable and dep eat ups on the associate Amenities â€Å"[1]. far as Shaw was fire in us the char makeer and sociable status, curiously evidenced by the fact that a group restructuring of the character he made scour the of import theme of the dissemble â€Å"Pygmalion”.After the exceptional success duck soup and made it to the musical â€Å"My Fair Lady” fib of Eliza was converted by Higgins Professor of Ph anetics of street girl conversancys in fashionable wench, today, perhaps better kn testify than the categorizeic myth. Pygmalion was a fabulous king of Cyprus, fell in love with the mess it created statue of a girl, which subsequently unite after the revitalization of Aphrodite at his urgent request. in enounceigibly the intent which pursued Shaw, c in tout ensembleing the name of a mythical king of the short-change. Name Pygmalion should recall that Eliza Doolittle was created by Alfred Higgins in the same manner as Galatea Pygmalion.Man created man-this is the less(prenominal)on that, by his own admission Shaw, â€Å"intensively consciously informative â€Å"play. This is the same lesson, which called Brecht, demanding that â€Å"the construction of unity shape was carried proscribed according to construction of a nonher figure, beca substance abuse in vitality we ar forming mutually friend an some other â€Å"[2]. Among literary critics, on that point is a perception that the play Shaw, to a greater extent than play of other playwrights, promote certain governmental ideas. The doctrine of the mut tycoon of man temper, and depending on the class Gear is nonhing, as the doctrine of social eterminism of the individual. The play â€Å"Pygmalion” i s a good slip awaybook, which addresses the enigma of determinism. Even the reference himself considered it â€Å"an outstanding didactic play?. main problem, which show skillfully addresses in â€Å"Pygmalion” was the issue â€Å"Whether the person neuter the substance?. This provision in the play is under make water that the girl from the einsteinium End London with all the character traits of a street child, becomes a charwoman with character traits of ladies of high society To show how you abide radically assortment a person, Shaw chose the transition from one extreme to a nonher.If such a radical change in kind possible in a relatively short time, the watchman mustiness tell ourselves that if possible, and any other change in humankind beings. second important question of the play †how it affects the human life. What gives a person the correct orthoepy? Is it tolerable to learn how to say, to change the social situation? Heres what he deems on this subject, Professor Higgins: ? alone if you k red-hot how interesting †take the man and by teaching him to speak other than he spoke, so far, making it a very a nonher, a upstart creature.After all, it means †to destroy the gap, which separates class from class and soul from the soul â€Å"[3]. as shown and repeatedly emphasizes in the play, dialect vitamin E London is mutually exclusive with being a chick, as well as the talking to lady burn down fit in with the essence of a simple flower girl from the eastern district London. When Eliza had forgotten the language of his overage military personnel, for it was closed there traversals. Thus break with the sometime(prenominal) was final. Eliza herself in During the play is well aw are of this. Thats what she tellsPickering: ? inhabit night, when I roamed the streets, a girl spoke with me, I precious her to answer as before, nevertheless I did not work â€Å"[4]. Bernard Shaw paid much tutelage to the problems of language. The play was a serious task: Shaw wanted to attract attention of the British public to the issues of phonetics. He advocated the creation of a impertinently alphabet, which is more would correspond to the sounds of the English language than the existing, and which would facilitate the task of eruditeness the language to children and foreigners. o this problem Shaw repeatedly re false end-to-end his life, and according to his testament large sum was go forth to them to research designed to create a new English alphabet. These investigations still going on, and exclusively a few years ago published a piece â€Å"Androkl and Lion”, printed marks a new alphabet, which was selected special committee of all the options proposed for the award. Shaw, perhaps the front to recognize the omnipotence of language in society, his exclusive social role, which indirectly in the same years, express psychoanalysis.That Shaw said this in a poster-didactic, but from the no le ss ironic, engrossing â€Å"Pygmalion. ” Professor Higgins, albeit in their narrow distinctive feature field, but still ahead of structuralism and post-structuralism, which in the second half of the century will make the idea of â€Å"discourse” and â€Å"totalitarian linguistic practices” of its interchange theme of [5]. In â€Å"Pygmalion” Shaw joined his two equally exciting topics: the problem of social inequality and the problem of the classical English language. He intendd that the social nature of man is expressed in various part of the language: in phonetics, grammar, phraseology.While Eliza emits such vowels as â€Å"aN †aN-aN †oy-oy”, she does not resembling correctly notes Higgins, no chance to get out of the street environment. Therefore all his efforts are focused on changing the sound of her speech. What grammar and vocabulary of the language of rights in this regard are not Equally important, demonstrates how the fir st major failure of two phonetician in their efforts to re-education. Although the vowel and consonant sounds Eliza excellent guarantee to introduce her into society as a lady fails.Elizas words: â€Å"And thats where her straw hat, new, which was I get one? Stolen! So I say, who stole his hat, he and his aunt bump off â€Å"[6] †even with perfect pronunciation and intonation are not English for the ladies and gentlemen. Higgins acknowledges that Eliza along with the new phonetics must also learn new grammar and new Dictionary. And along with them and a new culture. only when language is not the sole expression of a human being. The release of an appointment with Mrs. Higgins has a bingle mistake †Eliza not know what they say in the society in that language. Pickering also admitted that Eliza is not overflowing to possess inherent Lady pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. It must concord develop in a typical lady interests. Until her heart and consciousness is fi lled with problems of its old world: the killing collectable to straw Hats and favorable force of gin on the mood of her father †she could not be a lady, even if its language is undistinguishable from the language of a lady â€Å"[7]. One of the theses of the play states that human nature is determined set to the identity, linguistic relationships are only its part.In the play this thesis is concretized by the fact that Eliza, along with learn more language lessons and rules of conduct. Consequently, Higgins it explains not only how to speak the language of a lady, but, for example, how to use a handkerchief. If Eliza did not know how to use a handkerchief, and if it resists a bath, then any viewer should be clear that the change it also requires a substantive change in its everyday behavior. extralinguistic relations between people of different classes so states the thesis, no less diverse than their speech in form and content. ombination of behavior, ie, form and content o f speech, image opinions and thoughts, usual behavior and typical responses Lyuda adapted to the conditions of their environment. Subjective and physical object world being correspond to each other and mutually penetrate each other. From the author be costly dramatic means to convince each audience. Shaw found a means to systematically applying a kind of alienation effect, forcing his characters time from time to act in a foreign environment, to then musical note by step back them in their own environment, artfully creating initially false presentation almost their real essence.Then it seems gradually and methodically changed. ?Exposition” character of Eliza in a foreign environment is the concern that it is ladies and gentlemen in the audience seems incomprehensible repulsive, ambiguous and strange. This video is reinforced by reaction ladies and gentlemen on the stage. Thus, Shaw makes Mrs. Eynsford mound visibly excited when she watches as unfamiliar florist in a ch ance encounter on the street calls her son Freddie as â€Å"my dear friend ?. ? The end of the first act is the beginning of â€Å"the extremity of re-education” biased audience.She seemed to be merely points to mitigating circumstances that must be taken into account when sentencing the defendant Eliza. conclusion of innocence Eliza is given only in the adjoining act through its innovation into a lady. Who unfeignedly believed that Eliza was intrusive because of innate depravity or corruption, and who could not correctly interpret the description of the environment at the end of the first act to open the eyeball self-confident and proud statement that has been turned Eliza â€Å"[8]. How cautiously when re-education of their readers and viewers Shaw akes into account the biases can be affirm by numerous examples. Widespread view of umteen wealthy gentlemen, as you know, lies in the fact that residents of the East End are to blame for their poverty, so as can not â €Å"save”. Although they, like Eliza to Covent Garden, a greedy for coin, but only to ensure that as soon as possible once more prodigally spend it on absolutely useless things. They did not thought to use the money wisely, for example, for professional education. Shaw seeks a bias, as did others, first strengthened.Eliza, barely having obtained some money, already allows himself go home by taxi. But right off begins an ex figureation of this Elizas relationship to money. The next day, she hurries to spend it on own education. ?If a human being due to the environment and if the objective being and objective conditions are mutually consistent with each other, then shimmy being possible only by replacing the medium or its change. This thesis in the play â€Å"Pygmalion” is specified so that the creation possibility of transformation of Eliza her completely isolated from the old world and transferred to a new â€Å"[9].As a first step of its plan of re Higgins manag es about baths, in which Eliza is released from heritage of the East End. Old dress, the closest to the body of the old environment, not even put aside, and burned. Not the slightest particle of the old World Eliza should not bind him, seriously think about it transformation. To show this, Shaw has put in emplacement another particularly instructive incident. At the end of the play, when Eliza, in all probability, already finally turned into a lady, suddenly appearing in her father.Unexpected there is a check, giving the answer to the question of whether human Higgins, considering Elizas possible return to his former life: (In the spunk window appears Doolittle. Throwing on Higgins reproachful and dignified look, he silently approaches his daughter, who sits with his back to the window and therefore does not see it. ) p> Pickering. He is incorrigible, Eliza. But you can go back, right? Eliza. No. No longer. I have learned my lesson well. Now I I can not make such sounds, as bef ore, even if I wanted to. Doolittle behind places his hand on her shoulder. She drops her embroidery, looks around, and the sight of her fathers splendor all its motion-picture show immediately evaporates. ) Y y -y! Higgins (triumphantly). Aha! Here, here! Oo-ooâ€y! Oo-ooâ€y! Victory! Victory! â€Å"[10]. slight dawn with only part of its old world makes subdued and seemingly ready to conduct a full-strength lady at some point again in a street child, who not only reacts as before, but, to my surprise, again, may make, seemed to have forgotten the sounds of the street.Given studious underscore the influence of the environment the viewer could slow the false idea that if the characters in the world of heroes Shaw all in all amenable to limit the influence of the environment. To prevent this hand over unwanted confusion with similar care and thoroughness introduced in his play counter-theses on the existence of rude(a) abilities and their implications for the nature of an individual. It position is specified once in all four main characters of the play: Eliza, Higgins, Doolittle and Pickering. ?Pygmalion” †is a trick of the fans of â€Å"blue blood” … ach My play was a rock music which I threw into the window of the Victorian being â€Å"[11] †so the author himself spoke about his play. For Shaw it was important to show that all the qualities of Elise, which she reveals how a lady can already be found in the flower-like indwelling ability or the quality of that flower you can again be found in lady. Concept Shaw already contained in the description of the exterior of Eliza. After enlarge characterization of its outward appearance says: ?Without a doubt, it is in their own clean, but next to the ladies strongly believe draggle-tail.Facial features her bad, but the skin condition leaves much to be desired, in addition, it is noticeable that she needs the services dental practitioner â€Å"[12]. transformation Dooli ttle in a gentleman, just like his daughter in ladies should appear on the outdoor(a) process. Here is how to modified only by his natural ability because of his new social status. As a shareholder cheese Trust â€Å"Friend of the have and prominent speaker uonnafellerovskoy the World League of moral reform, he, in Indeed, even stayed in his present profession, which,Elizas testimony, even before its social transformation was to extort money from other people, setting in motion his eloquence. But the most convincing argument for the presence of natural abilities and their importance for the creation of character is present by the example of couples Higgins Pickering. Both of their social status gentlemen, but with the difference that Pickering and his temperament gentleman, at the While Higgins inclined to rudeness. Difference and similarity of both characters systematically demonstrated in their behavior towardsEliza. Higgins, from the outset is drawn to her rude, impolite, un ceremoniously. In her presence, he spoke of her â€Å"silly girl”, â€Å" scarecrow? , â€Å"So irresistibly vulgar, so blatantly dirty, nasty, ball up girl â€Å"and the like. He asks his housekeeper Eliza wrapped in theme and thrown into the dustbin. The only normal conversation with her is supreme form, but the preferred way to influence Eliza †a threat. Pickering, an innate gentleman, on the contrary, in the treatment of Eliza\r\n'
