Flower Girl Stage Directions
1,096 wordsIn the preface Shaw describes the Oxford phonetician Henry Sweet, on whom Professor Higgins is modeled, but warns us that Higgins is not a portrait of Sweet. Shaw says that he wrote the play in order to make the English aware of the importance of phonetics, and he is grateful that the play has been a great success on the stage.

Older Brother Eldest Son
920 wordsIn Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility there is a theme that runs along with males in the novel.

Bernard Shaw Fair Lady
711 wordsBy Dominique Jones Rating: (out of 5) Consider this possibility: a romantic comedy with no nudity, no sex, and no kissing. In fact, there aren't even any declarations of love. The closest the female character comes to admitting her feelings is saying that she could have danced all night with the man; the closest he gets is remarking that he's grown accustomed to her face. Could such a project lift off the pad in today's climate? Almost certainly not - no studio would green light the film without...
