Resim
                                    ln Greek mythology, Pygmalion was a carved statue of a beautiful woman outside of ivory.Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological figure.The statue was so beautiful that Pygmalion fell in love with her. The symbolism of the play is about Henry Higgins falling in love with his own creation.My Fair Lady and Pygmalion describe love in the Greek mythology.But both of them  ended differently. The tone of "Pygmalion" is darker and more realistic than that of "My Fair Lady," which is a work of fantasy composed in a light and comedic style. ln my fair lady, film is very loyal to Shaw's play, and even the characters sometimes repeat lines from the game. But of course I have to say that there are many points that he left in the play in tons. One of the biggest differences is the fact that the film is a musical, with a lot of effort on its compositions.The biggest difference is that of course it
