- Please get the following edition of Pygmalion and read it through over the holidays: Pygmalion
- If you’re lucky, you might be able to watch the Hollywood version of the musical based on Pygmalion (called „My fair Lady„) on TV some time during the holidays
- For those who are into reeeeeaally old movies, there is a quite okay-ish 1938 version of the original drama on Youtube!
- Very important: the questions and answers in the individual lessons make up your „Hefteinträge“, please do not skip that!
Week 6: February 15 – 19
So we’ve finished reading and analysing Pygmalion … not quite:
Please watch the Hollywood version of Pygmalion during the Non-Carnival holidays and compare it to the original. The following points are of particular interest:
- Which scenes have been omitted and what scenes have been added – why?
- „My fair Lady“ is a musical – are the songs a nuisance?
- Do you prefer the drama or the musical?
- How three-dimensional are the characters in the musical?
- What do you think about the end of the usical? Does it do justice to GBS‘ ideas?
Link: My Fair Lady
