Questions Answers
1. The stage directions include almost
one full page of details about Mrs.
Higgins’s home. Why do you think
this setting is described in such
detail?
2. Higgins says on page 50, “I know I
have no small talk; but people don’t
mind.” What does he mean he has
“no small talk”?
3. Higgins says at the bottom of page
50, “Oh, I can’t be bothered with
young women. My idea of a loveable
woman is something as like you as
possible. I shall never get into the
way of seriously liking young
women: some habits lie too deep to
be changed.… Besides, they’re all
idiots.”
How do these lines connect to the
original myth of Pygmalion that we
read and discussed earlier?
