Major Ideas Why is money such a huge dividing factor?
Gender Relations Social Class Inequality What does Pygmalion suggest about the roles of men and women? How are gender stereotypes reinforced or broken? Does the play call for action (work towards greater equality, for example)? Why is money such a huge dividing factor? What does the play suggest about the wealthy and poor? Are stereotypical figures used to portray social class differences? Is this fair?

Major Ideas Independence The Importance of Language How does Pygmalion support the idea that independence is positive and necessary? Or does it not suggest this? The play focuses on Liza’s attempt to learn “proper” speech. Is it fair that we judge people based on their dialect? Should everyone learn to speak “normally”? Why? What do you think Shaw’s opinion on this subject might be?
