Shaw's adaptation of the the story of Galatea and Pygamlion has been the basis for a great many stories - the musical My Fair Lady, movies such as She's All That and episodes of popular TV shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the Simpsons and Family Guy. His story line of a person choosing to change in order to be accepted by a "better" level of society and the unforeseen circumstances has remained popular for almost a century and still seems very relevant.
1. Why does this story continue to appeal to so many people?
2. Should this story have a happy ending? Explain how you see the story ending and WHY you thik it should end this way.
3. Is this story realistic? Can people truly "change" or do our personalities and behaviors remain pretty much the same throughout our lives, no mater how much we may look, speak or act differently?
