Analyzing a Theme Review the theme ideas you annotated as you read: . Appearance vs. Heart . Science vs. Humanity . Upper vs. Lower Class / Societal Expectations Decide which one you would like to analyze further. Then: Brainstorm: Jot down ideas of how Pygmalion deals with the theme idea. What is the major lesson or takeaway about this idea you discovered in the play? Example: This play deals with ways it is harmful to try to re-create another human in your own image like Higgins wanted to re-create Eliza after himself. 2 Craft a universal statement. What might you say if you had to explain one theme to someone who had never read Pygmalion? Imagine you are simply trying to say what moral or lesson you learned from this play without any burden to explain the characters or plot. Example: When men try to re-create other humans in their own image, they end up causing more harm than good. 3 Using your annotations, gather evidence of how the universal theme you have written is seen throughout the play! Example: . Higgins says he can re invent her into a duchess (Act 1). . Higgins ends the experiment by saying he has " Created this thing out of the cabbage leaves" (Act V). Eliza, Mrs. Higgins, and Mrs. Pearce all ask what will become of Eliza after this experiment-they all worry for her identity and person as she is being made into something new (Acts II, IV). 4 Brainstorm a few real-world scenarios where you could use or apply this theme. Example: Young people get into dating relationships thinking they will change the other person to be more like them or more like their ideal boyfriend/girlfriend, but this ends up hurting both of them. 5 Come up with your thesis statement. What is the main argument or point you would like to express about this theme in Pygmalion? In the example thesis statement below, you can see the essay will focus on Shaw's theme of re- creation and why it is seen as negative in the play. The essay will focus on two main points: how this type of re- creation harms the person doing it and the person receiving it. Your Essay Your essay should: . Be a minimum of two (2) pages.
