Butterfly...... that what i think of!

When I first started reading Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, what comes as sudden in mind is Educating Rita by Wily Russell. I felt very familiar reading along the lines of this play or should I call easy-kind of reading materials. I found that the main characters in Pygmalion have similar characters traits with the major characters in Educating Rita. In Pygmalion, we are introduced to Professor Higgins and Eliza. Meanwhile, we have Frank and Rita as the pivotal characters in Educating Rita. What I’m interested in these both play is the theme ‘education’. Education in both Pygmalion and Educating Rita seems to be the central idea that acts as an issue. I simply regard this play as butterfly because Pygmalion story is after Ovid's Metamorphoses. It is like the butterfly undergoes a process of metamorphoses in its life cycle.
When watching the movie, I find it interesting though it is in black and white film. Well, what you expect? The title of the play ‘Pygmalion’ does not appeal to me at the first place because I have the idea of the play as of a science fiction genre. I think it would be better to watch the film first before we deal the text in class. However, Higgins is good looking in the movie than what I have pictured him when reading the text. How I wish to watch the play on stage one day!
