It holds us back from being our true selves because we are worried about our reputations.

It keeps us from thinking hard about issues that we encounter when working through life.

It gives us plenty to do so we’re not stuck thinking about our shadows on the wall.

It is really only for people who want to be politicians and great leaders, not the rest of us

Read the excerpt from Pygmalion and Galatea by Josephine Preston Peabody.

He drew near in wonder and delight, and felt, instead of the chill air that was wont to wake him out of his spell, a gentle warmth around her, like the breath of a plant. He touched her hand, and it yielded like the hand of one living! Doubting his senses, yet fearing to reassure himself, Pygmalion kissed the statue.

In an instant the maiden’s face bloomed like a waking rose, her hair shone golden as returning sunlight; she lifted her ivory eyelids and smiled at him. The statue herself had awakened, and she stepped down from the pedestal, into the arms of her creator, alive!

There was a dream that came true.

Read the excerpt from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw.

LIZA [defiantly non-resistant]. . . . Aha! Now I know how to deal with you. What a fool I was not to think of it before! You can’t take away the knowledge you gave me. You said I had a finer ear than you. And I can be civil and kind to people, which is more than you can. Aha! That’s done you, Henry Higgins, it has. Now I don’t care that [snapping her fingers] for your bullying and your big talk. I’ll advertize it in the papers that your duchess is only a flower girl that you taught, and that she’ll teach anybody to be a duchess just the same in six months for a thousand guineas. Oh, when I think of myself crawling under your feet and being trampled on and called names, when all the time I had only to lift up my finger to be as good as you, I could just kick myself.

HIGGINS [wondering at her]. . . . By George, Eliza, I said I’d make a woman of you; and I have. I like you like this.

LIZA. Yes: you turn round and make up to me now that I’m not afraid of you, and can do without you.

How does Eliza differ from Galatea in these excerpts?

Galatea questions Pygmalion’s intentions, but Eliza does not question Higgins’s intentions.
Galatea does not speak in this text, but Eliza is portrayed as having independent thoughts.
Galatea does not fall in love with Pygmalion, but Eliza falls in love with Higgins.
Galatea does not question Pygmalion’s skill, but Eliza questions Higgins’s skill.
