In Reply to: "Shaw couldn't even come up with the right ending for "Pygmalion"" posted by orejones on June 2, 2005 at 10:34:29:
I love Shaw's "Pgymalion," but when the author feels compelled to write an essay justifying why he ended the work the way he did....On a purely intellectual plane, I can understand why Liza does not come back and why she marries Freddie.
But the side of me that loves cheap sentimental claptrap gets chills when I hear: "Liza, fetch me my slippers." I suppose Shaw would get chills hearing those words too!
