Pygmalion Acts 1 & 2
This was my first time ever reading the play, and prior to this class I hadn't even heard of it so I didn't really know what to expect when it came to whether or not I thought I would enjoy it. As it turns out, I have enjoyed the play a lot so far. The only issues I'm seeming to have involve a lot of the slang that is used, especially from those in the lower classes. It feels like they talk in an entirely different language during some parts of the play, but I've been able to use context clue in order to keep myself from feeling totally lost in the language. The relationship between Eliza and Higgins seems like it will be an interesting one later on in the play, and I have a feeling he'll be taking back his views on women even if it's only in the case of Eliza.

I agree for the most part, but I feel that Higgins is the one that will not change unless it is to demean him in some way. One thing that I have noticed with several feminist writers is the need to input some kind of revenge lay on those men that are the most despicable. But hell... I could be completely wrong.
