Bernard Shaw Piez Pigmaalion. Pygmalion

The action of the play unfolds in London. In a summer evening, it rains like from the bucket. Passersby run to the Covent Garden market and to the portico of the Cathedral of St. Paul, where several people were already covered, including the elderly lady with her daughter, they are in the evening toilets, waiting for Freddie, the son of the lady, will find a taxi and come for them. All but one person with notebook, impatiently peering into rain flows. Freddie appears in the distance, not found a taxi, and runs to portico, but on the road, it flies on a street flowers, trembling to hide from

Rain, and embroils from her hand basket with violets. That breaks out by breaking. A man with a notebook spend something hastily writes. The girl is crushing that her violets disappeared, and begging standing immediately Colonel to buy a bunch. He to get out, gives her a trifle, but the colors do not take. Someone from passersby draws the attention of the flower players, slightly dressed and an imperious girl that a man with a notebook clearly shines a denunciation. The girl begins to hone. He, however, assures that he is not from the police, and surprises all those present by the fact that it accurately determines the origin of each of them by their pronunciation.

Freddie's mother sends

Son back to look for a taxi. Soon, however, the rain stops, and she and her daughter goes to a bus stop. Colonel shows an interest in human abilities with a notebook. He is represented as Henry Higgins, the creator of the "Universal Alphabet of Higgins". The colonel turns out to be the author of the book "Spoken Sanskrit". Surname his picering. He lived in India for a long time and arrived in London specifically to get acquainted with Professor Higgins. The professor also always wanted to meet Colonel. They are already going to go dining to the Colonel to the hotel when the flowerian again begins to ask to buy flowers from her. Higgins throws her in the basket a handful of coins and leaves the colonel. Flowerian sees that she now owns, according to her standards, a huge amount. When Freddie arrives from Finally, they caught a taxi, she sits in the car and slammed the door with the noise, leaving.

The next morning, Higgins at home shows his phonographic equipment to Colonel Picering. Suddenly, the housekeeper of Higgins, Mrs. Pierce, reports that a very simple girl wishes to talk to a professor. Included yesterday's flower girl. She is represented by Eliza Dulittl and reports that it wishes to take the phonetics lessons from Professor, for she cannot get a job with her pronunciation. On the eve he heard that Higgins gives such lessons. Eliza is sure that he will gladly agree to work out the money that yesterday, without looking, threw in her basket. To talk about such amounts to him, of course, ridiculous, but Pickering offers Higgins Paris. He brings him to prove that in a matter of months can, as I assured the day before, turn a street flower in the duchess. Higgins finds this proposal is tempting, especially since picering is ready if Higgins wins, pay the entire cost of learning Eliza. Mrs. Pierce takes Missing Eliz to the bathroom.

After some time, the father of Eliza comes to Higgins. He is a trashman, a simple person, but strikes professors with his inborn eloquence. Higgins asks Dulittla permission to leave his daughter at himself and gives him five pounds for it. When Eliza appears, already washed, in a Japanese row, the father will not even know his daughter first. After a couple of months, Higgins leads Eliz to his mother's house, just in her reception day. He wants to know whether it is possible to introduce a girl to a secular society. Visiting Mrs. Higgins are Mrs. Einsford Hill with his daughter and son. These are the most people with whom Higgins stood under the portico of the cathedral that day when I saw Eliz for the first time. However, they do not recognize the girl. Eliza first and behaves, and speaks how the Great Lady is talking, and then turns to the story about his life and uses such street expressions that all the Diva present are given. Higgins pretends that this is a new secular jargon, thus smoothing the situation. Eliza leaves the crowd, leaving Freddie in the utmost delight.

After this meeting, he begins to send the Elise of the letter for ten pages. After the guests of Higgins and Pickering in vain, Mrs. Higgins are enthusiastically told about how they are engaged in Elise, as they teach her, taken out in Opera, to exhibitions, dress. Mrs. Higgins finds that they appeal to the girl, like a live doll. She agrees with Mrs. Pierce, who believes that they don't think about anything. "

After another month, both experimenters are taken by Eliz to a great success, where it has a dizzying success, everyone takes her for the duchess. Higgins wins bets.

Having come home, he enjoys the fact that the experiment, from which he had already managed to believe, was finally completed. He behaves and speaks his usual coarse manner, who does not pay any attention to Eliz. The girl looks very tired and sad, but at the same time it is dazzling beautiful. It is noticeable that irritation accumulates in it.

In the end, she launches his shoes in Higgins. She wants to die. She does not know that she will continue to live with her. After all, she became a completely different person. Higgins assures that everything is formed. She, however, manages to hurt him, bring out of equilibrium and thus at least a little for himself revenge.

At night, Eliza escapes from home. Numbness Higgins and Picering lose their head when they see that there is no elza. They even try to find it with the help of the police. Higgins feels without Eliza as without hands. He does not know where his things lie, neither of him are appointed on the day of the case. Mrs. Higgins arrives. Then report the arrival of the father of the Eliza. Dulittl has changed very much. Now he looks like a beggar bourgeois. He is in indignation attacked Higgins for the fact that he had to change his lifestyle on his fault and now to become much less free than he was before. It turns out a few months ago, Higgins wrote to America to one million, who founded the branches of the League of moral reforms throughout the world, that Dulittl, a simple garbagers, now the most original moralist in all England. He died, and before his death bequeathed Dulittl Pai in his three thousand annual income, provided that Dulittl will read up to six lectures per year in his head of moral reforms. He crushes that today, for example, he even has to officially marry that for several years he has lived without registration of relationships. And all this because he is forced to look now like a venerable bourgeois. Mrs. Higgins is very glad that the Father will finally take care of his changed daughter, as it deserves. Higgins, however, and hear does not want to "return Dulittlu Eliz.

Mrs. Higgins says he knows where Eliza. The girl agrees to return if Higgins will ask her for forgiveness. Higgins in no way agrees to go for it. Enters Eliza. She expresses pickerigue for his appeal with her as a noble lady. It was he who helped Elise change, despite the fact that she had to live in a house of coarse, sloppy and uncompatible Higgins. Higgins is amazed. Eliza adds that if he continues to "put it", then she will go to Professor Nepine, Higgins colleague, and he will be an assistant with him and inform him about all the discoveries made by Higgins. After a surge of perturbation, the professor finds that now her behavior is even better and more and more and more, when she watched his things and brought him homemade shoes. Now, he is sure, they will be able to live together no longer just like two men and one stupid girl, but as "three friendly old bacheloy".

Eliza goes to the wedding of the Father. Apparently, she will still live in Higgins's house, because he managed to contact him, like him to her, and they still go to them.

Option 2.

Summer Day Citizens, fleeing from shower, hide under the portico of the Cathedral of St. Paul. Higgins watches the assembled neighbors in misfortune, making the note in the notebook. He wrote the book "Universal Alphabet Higgins." Colonel Pickering, the creator of the book "Spoken Sanskrit" interested this person and they get acquainted. The Lord decided to have dinner at the hotel. Along the way, Higgins threw a handful of trivia to the girl selling violets.

The next morning, Higgins took the picering of himself at home and there comes a vendor of violets with a request to give it the lessons of phonetics so that she can get a decent job. Picering and Higgins are betting that the latter will turn out the merchant in the duchess in a matter of months. And if Higgins can do this, the picering will pay all the costs of the merchant.

So Eliza seeks his desire to learn. Within two months, the girl lives in Higgins's house and he hardly deals with her. He leads her to his mother who gives the reception to understand whether there is a result from his work. Eliza behaves like a secular lady, but telling about the old life, goes to the street jargon. Higgins saves the situation by presenting this jargon, modern secular trees. His pupil left the guests of the mother in complete delight.

One of the guests of receiving Freddie is so submissive to the girl that he writes her letters of ten pages. After a few more months, Higgins and Picering remove the ward to the Great Taking Reception. And there it was considered for the duchess. Picering lost the dispute. But now Eliza is sad. She changed and does not understand how to be further. Higgins assisted that everything will work out, but it does it in the usual gross manner. Eliza launches in Higgins shoes and goes into his room.

In the morning, Higgins and Picering found that Eliza disappeared. Higgins is so used to Elise that he does not represent life without her, he does not know where things and what business are scheduled for the day. Eliza assumed the responsibilities of a personal assistant. He is trying to find by contacting the police. Higgins visits the father of Eliza. He was previously a simple traffacer, but now became the bourgeois. He wrote to the American Milliona, the organizer of the League of Moral Reforms and the one, dying, left the Dullitle Pai, provided if he becomes lecture in the league. And now the Dullitle can keep his daughter himself, but Higgins do not even want to hear about it.

Soon, Eliza returns and she says Higgins that he must apologize to her and henceforth to handle politely otherwise she will go to the assistant to his competitor to Nepine. Higgins is pleased with the girl and those manners that he instilled her and now she can live in his house and be on equal with him.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), Irish playwright, philosopher and prose and the most famous - after Shakespeare - playwright, writing in English.

Bernard Shaw possessed a magnificent sense of humor. About yourself, the writer said: " My way to joke is to tell the truth. There is nothing funnier in the world«.

The show was quite consciously focused on the creative experience of Ibsen. He appreciated his playwork and at the beginning creative path Largely followed by his example. Like Ebsen, the show used the stage for the propaganda of his social and moral views, filling the plays with sharp, intense discussions. However, he is not only like Ibsen, set questions, but also tried to answer them, and reply as a writer, filled with historical optimism. According to B. Brecht, in the plays of the show "Vera in the infinite possibilities of mankind on the way to improvement plays a decisive role."

The creative path of the show playground began in the 1890s. The first drama of the show "House of Widovets" (1892) was also put in the independent theater (1892), which began "New Drama" in England. The "Volokut" (1893) and "Profession Mrs. Warren" (1893-1894) appeared behind her (1893-1894), who made up the "unpleasant plays" with "widow houses". The next cycle's plays were the same, "Poeses are pleasant": "Weapons and Man" (1894), "Candy" (1894), "Decision of Destiny" (1895), "Wait - see" (1895-1896).

In 1901, the show published a new cycle of Pieces for Puritan, which included the "Devil's student" (1896-1897), Caesar and Cleopatra (1898), "Captain Brassbound" (1899). Whatever themes raised the show in them, whether, as in Cesar and Cleopatre, a remote past of mankind or, as in the "Captain Brassbound", the colonial policy of England, his attention is always riveted to the most burning issues of modernity.

Ibsen portrayed life mainly in gloomy, tragic tones. Show mocking even where it is about quite serious. He negatively refers to the tragedy and opposes the teachings about Qatarsis. According to the show, a person should not put up with the suffering that depriving him "the ability to discover the essence of life, awake thoughts, to bring up feelings." The show highly appreciates the comedy, calling it "the most sophisticated type of art." In the work of Ibsen, according to the show, it is transformed into tragicomedy, "in even higher than comedy, genre." Comedy, by conviction of the show, denying suffering, brings up a reasonable and sober attitude towards the surrounding world in the auditor.

However, preferring the comedy tragedy, the show in his artistic practice is rarely held within the borders of one comedy genre. Comic in his plays is easy to get along with tragic, funny - with serious reflections about life.

"Realist is the one, the cat himself lives, consistent with his ideas about the past."

For the show, the struggle for a new society was inextricably linked with the struggle for a new drama, which could put in front of readers with the questions of our time, could disrupt all masks and coverage of the life of society. When B. Shaw, first as a critic, and then as a playwright, introduced a planned siege of the 19th century drama, he had to fight the most famous of the walking conventions of theatrical criticism of the time convinced that the intellectual seriousness on stage was no place that the theater - This is a kind of superficial entertainment, and the playwright is a person whose task to make harmful calms from cheap emotions.

In the end, the siege was crowned with success, the intellectual seriousness won over a confectionery look at the theater, and even his supporters were forced to stand in the position of intellectuals and in 1918 the show wrote: "Why did you need a colossal war to inhabit people to my works? "

The show was measured to create a positive hero - a realist. He sees one of the tasks of his drama in the creation of the images of "realists", practical, restrained and cold-blooded. The show was everywhere and always tried to annoy, pour out, the public, using my Chanisian method.

He never was idealist - his proposals were not romantic-pacifist, and a purely practical nature was, according to the evidence of contemporaries, very delomet.

In the "Professions of Mrs. Warken" show outlined his idea of \u200b\u200bthe real situation of women in society, said that society should be arranged so that every man and every woman could contain themselves with their work without trading their attachments and beliefs. In Cesar and Cleopatre, the show offered his gaze on the story calm, sound, ironic, not chained to death to the alkali at the doors of the royal.

At the heart of the artistic method of Bernard Shaw - paradox as a means of unscrewing dogmatism and bias - ("Andrkl and Lev", 1913, "Pygmalion", 1913), the traditional of ideas (the historical plays "Caesar and Cleopatra", 1901, pentalogiya "Back to Maofusaila" , 1918-20, "Holy John", 1923).

The Irishman by origin, the show has repeatedly appealed in his work to the acute problems associated with the relationship between England and the "Another Island of John Bull", as if his play (1904) is entitled. However, he left his native places for the twenty-year-old young men. In London, the show closely became closely with the participants of the "Fabian society", sharing their reforms program with the aim of a gradual transition to socialism.

Modern dramaturgy was supposed to cause a direct szvuk from the audience who learned the situation in it from his own life experience, and provoke a discussion, which would have extended far beyond the private case shown from the scene. The collisions of this dramaturgy, unlike the Shakespearers who considered Bernard Shaw to be obsolete, should be intellectual or socially accuratory character, differing in top of topicality, and the characters are important not so much with their psychological complexity, how many types of type, manifested and clearly.

The second important question of the play is how much it discusses human life. What gives man a proper pronunciation? Is it enough to learn how to speak correctly to change social status? This is what Professor Higgins thinks about this account: "But if you knew how interesting it is to take a person and, taking it to talk otherwise than he said, still, to make a completely different, new creature. After all, it means - to destroy the abyss that separates the class from class and soul from the soul. "

The show, may be the first to be aware of the languages \u200b\u200bof the language in society, his exceptional social role, which psychoanalysis spoke indirectly in the same years.

There is no doubt that Pygmalion is the most popular play B. Shaw. In it, the author showed us the tragedy of the poor girl who knew the poverty, which suddenly turns out among the highest society, becomes a true lady, falls in love with a person who helped her climb to his feet, and which is forced to abandon all this, because pride wakes up in it, and she wakes up It understands that the person she loves, rejects it.

On me, the play "Pygmalion" made a huge impression, especially the fate of the main character. The skill of B. Shaw, with whom he shows us the psychology of people, as well as all the vital problems of society in which he lived, will not leave anyone indifferent.

All the plays of the show meet the most important demands submitted by Brecht to the modern theater, namely: the theater should strive to "depict the nature of a person as amenable to change and depending on class affiliation. As far as the show was interested in the relationship between the character and public situation, it particularly proves the fact that he made a radical restructuring of character even the main theme Pieces "Pygmalion".

After the exclusive success of the play and the Musical Music of "My Lovely Lady" The story of Eliza, which turned through the professor of Phonetics Higgins from the street girl to the secular lady, today, is probably more known than the Greek myth.

A person is created by a person - this is this lesson, according to his own recognition of the show, "intensively and consciously didactic" play. This is the same lesson to which Breht called, demanding that "the construction of one figure was carried out depending on the construction of another figure, for and in life we \u200b\u200bmutually form each other."

Among the literary critics is the opinion that the play shows, more than the plays of other playwrights, promote certain political ideas. Teaching about variability human nature And depending on class affiliation is nothing but the doctrine of the social determination of the individual. The play "Pygmalion" is a good manual, which addresses the problem of determinism (determinism - the doctrine of the initial decisions of all the processes occurring in the world, including all the processes of human life). Even the author himself considered her "outstanding didactic play."

The main problem that the show skillfully decides in Pygmalion, was the question "whether a person is a changeable being." This position in the play is specified by the fact that the girl from End End London with all the features of the street child, turns into a woman with the character of the ladies of the highest society to show how radically can change a person, the show chose the transition from one extreme to another. If such a radical change in person is possible in a relatively short time, the viewer must say to himself that then any other change in the human being is possible. The second important question of the play is how much it discusses human life. What gives man a proper pronunciation? Is it enough to learn how to speak correctly to change social status? This is what Professor Higgins thinks about this: " But if you knew how interesting it was - to take a person and, taking it to speak differently than he said, still, to make a completely different, new creature. After all, it means - to destroy the abyss, which separates the class from the class and soul from the soul«.

As shown and constantly emphasized in the play, the London East dialect is incompatible with the creature of the lady, as well as the Lady language can not knit with the creature of a simple flower girl from the East District of London. When Eliza forgot the language of his old world, it closed back the way back. Thus, the gap with the past was final. Eliza herself, during the play, clearly repays a report in this. That's what she tells Pickering: " Yesterday at night, when I wandered through the streets, some girl spoke to me; I wanted to answer her in the old way, but I did not come out«.

Bernard Shaw paid a lot of attention to language problems. The play had a serious task: the show wanted to attract the attention of the English public to phonetics issues. He told for the creation of a new alphabet, which would mostly correspond to the sounds of the English language than the currently existing, and which would facilitate the task of studying this language to children and foreigners. To this problem, the show was repeatedly returned throughout his life, and according to his testament, a large amount was left by him on studies aimed at creating a new english alphabet. These studies continue until now, and just a few years ago, the play "Andrkl and Lev", printed by the signs of the new alphabet, which was chosen by the Special Committee of all the options proposed for the award. The show, may be the first to be aware of the languages \u200b\u200bof the language in society, his exceptional social role, which psychoanalysis spoke indirectly in the same years. It was the show that said this in a poster-duty, but from the not less ironic-fascinating "Pygmalion". Professor Higgins, albeit in his narrow special sphere, but still ahead of structuralism and post-constructionism, which in the second half of the century will make the ideas of "discourse" and "totalitarian linguistic practices" by their central theme.

In Pygmalion, the show joined the two equally exciting topics: the problem of social inequality and the problem of classical English. He believed that the public essence of a person was expressed in different parts Language: in phonetics, grammar, in vocabulary. While Eliza emits such vowel sounds as "airs - aya-oo - oh," Nyuo does not have, as Higgins notices correctly, no chance of getting out of the street atmosphere. Therefore, all its efforts are concentrated on changing the sounds of her speech. The fact that grammar and vocabulary of the human language in this regard are no less important, demonstrated by the example of the first major failure of both phonetists in their re-education efforts. Although the vowels and consonant sounds of Eliza are excellent, an attempt to introduce it into society as a lady tolerate fails. Words of Eliza: " But where is her hat straw, new who had to go? SERM! So I say, who's a hat, he and auntochal"- Even with excellent pronunciation and intonation are not English for ladies and gentlemen.

Higgins admits that Eliza, along with a new phonetic, should also learn a new grammar and a new dictionary. And with them and a new culture. But the language is not the only expression of the human being. Light on the reception to Mrs. Higgins has the only miss - Eliza does not know what they are talking about in society in this language. "Picering also acknowledged that for elza is not enough to own a pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. She should still develop interests characteristic of Lady. As long as her heart and consciousness are filled with the problems of its old world: murders due to a straw hat and a favorable action of Gina to the mood of her father, - she will not be able to become a lady, even if her language will be indistinguishable from the Lady language. " One of the theses of the play states that human character is determined by a set of personality ratio, language relations are only part of it. In the play, this thesis is specified by the fact that Eliza is also learned by the rules of conduct in the language. Consequently, Higgins explains to her not only how to speak the Lady language, but also, for example, how to use a nose handkerchief.

If Eliza does not know how to use a handkerchief, and if it opposes to take a bath, then any viewer should be clear that the change in its being also requires changes in its daily behavior. Disabled relations of people of various classes so read the thesis, no less different than their speech in form and content.

A combination of behavior, that is, the form and content of speech, the image of judgment and thoughts, the usual acts and typical reactions of people are adapted to the conditions of their environment. A subjective creature and objective world correspond to each other and mutually permeate each other. From the author, the cost of dramatic means was required to convince each viewer. The show found this tool in the systematic application of a kind of alienation effect, forcing his characters from time to time to act in someone else's environment, so that step by step returns them into its own medium, artificially creating a false idea on their true entity at first. Then this impression is gradually and methodically changing. The "Exposition" of the character of the Eliza in someone else's environment has the impact that it is a lady and gentlemen in the auditorium seems incomprehensible, repulsive, ambiguous and strange. This impression is enhanced by the reaction of the lady and gentlemen on stage.

So, the show makes Mrs. Einsford Hill noticeably worry when she watches like a stranger to her flower girl when random meeting On the street calls her son Freddie "cute friend." "The ending of the first act is the beginning of the" re-education process "of the prejudiced viewer. It seems to indicate only mitigating circumstances that need to be taken into account when convicted by the accused Eliza. The proof of the innocence of the elza is given only in the next act due to its transformation into the lady. WHO really believed that Eliza was obsessive due to congenital low-cost or sales, and who could not correctly interpret the concept of the environment at the end of the first act, the eyes of the self-confident and proud performance of the transfused elza will open. How carefully when you re-educate your readers and viewers, the show takes into account prejudices, you can confirm with numerous examples.

The widespread opinion of many wealthy Lords, as is known, is that the inhabitants of East-End themselves are to blame for their poverty, since they do not know how to "save". Although they, as well as Eliza in Covent Garden, are very tanks for money, but only in order for the first opportunity to waste them again to spend them on absolutely unnecessary things. They have no thoughts to use money prudently, for example, for vocational education. The show seeks to prejudice, as, however, and others first strengthen. Eliza, barely fearing some money, already allowed to go home by taxi. But immediately the explanation of the real relationship of Elizes to the money. The next day, she hurries to spend their own education. "If the human being is due to the medium and if an objective being and objective conditions mutually correspond to each other, then the conversion of the creature is possible only when the environment is replaced or its change. This thesis in the Piigmalion play is specified in that it is completely isolated from the old world to create the possibility of turning the elza and transfer it to a new one. As a first measure, Higgins's re-education plan disposes about the bath in which Eliza is exempt from heritage
East End.

The old dress, the closest part of the old medium, is not even short aside, and burns. Neither the slightest particle of the old world should not bind Eliz with him, if seriously thinking about its transformation. To show this, the show entered into action another particularly instructive incident.

At the end of the play, when Eliza, in all likelihood, has already finally turned into a lady, suddenly her father appears. It is unforeseen a check, which gives the answer to the question of whether Higgins is right, considering the return of Elizes to the old life: (Dulittl appears in the middle window. Throwing the crown and full of advantage in Higgins, he silently approaches his daughter, And therefore does not see it.) Pickering. He regains, Eliza. But you do not ride, right? Eliza. Not. Not anymore. I learned my lesson well. Now I can't publish such sounds as before, even if I wanted. (Dulittl rear put her hand on her shoulder. She drops embroidery, looks around, and at the sight of fatherly splendor, its entire extract is immediately evaporates.) U-U-AAAA-Y! Higgins (solemn). Yeah! Exactly! U-U-AAAAA! U-U-AAAAA! Victory! Victory!".

The most insignificant contact only with a part of his old world turns restrained and, it would seem, ready for the exquisite behavior of a lady at some point again in a street child, who not only reacts, as before, but, to his own surprise, again can pronounce It seemed already forgotten street sounds. In view of the careful underscore, the viewer could easily have a false idea of \u200b\u200bthe viewer that the characters in the world of the Heroes of the show are entirely resolved by the effect of the environment.

To prevent this unwanted error of the show with similar care and thoroughness, contributed to its play counter-site on the existence of natural abilities and their meaning for the nature of one or another individual. This provision is specified immediately in all four main characters of the play: Eliz, Higgins, Dulittle and Pickering. "Pygmalion" - this is a mockery above the "blue blood" fans ... Each my play was a stone that I threw in the windows of Victorian well-being ", - So the author of his play responded so.

For the show it was important to show that all the qualities of the Elise, which she reveals as a lady, can already be found in a flowerhouse as natural abilities or that the quality of the flower beds can then be discovered in the lady. The concept of the show has already been kept in the description of the appearance of the Eliza. In the late detailed characteristics of her appearance It says: "No doubt, she is clean in his own way, but next to the ladies decisively seems a disadvantage. The features of her is not enough, but the condition of the skin leaves much to be desired; In addition, it is noticeable that it needs the services of the dentist. "

The transformation of Dulittla in the gentleman, just like his daughter in the lady, should seem relative to the external process. Here, as it were, only its natural abilities are modified thanks to its new public situation.

As the shareholder of the crushed trust "Friend of the stomach" and prominent speaker of the Wannafeller World League of Mural Reforms, he, in essence, even remained at his real profession, which, according to the evidence of Eliza, even before his social transformation, was to extort money from other people , Powder in the course of your eloquence. But the most convincing thesis about the presence of natural abilities and their meaning to create characters is demonstrated by the example of the Higgins pair - picering. Both of them in their social status of the gentlemen, but with the difference that pickering and in its temperament gentleman, while Higgins is predisposed to rudeness. The difference and community of both characters is systematically demonstrated on their behavior in relation to the Elise.

Higgins from the very beginning draws her rudely, impolitely, unceremoniously. In her presence, he talks about her "stupid girl", "scarecrow", "so irresistible vulgar, so blatant dangling", "bad, spoiled girl" and the like. He asks his housekeeper to complete Eliza in the newspaper and throw in the garbage box. The only norm of conversation with it is the imperative form, and the preferred way of influencing the elza - the threat. Pickering, congenital gentleman, on the contrary, in handling Elise from the very beginning, exhibits tact and exceptional politeness. It does not argue himself on an unpleasant or rude statement or the obsessive behavior of flowers, nor a bad example of Higgins. Since no circumstances explain these differences in behavior,. The viewer must assume that, probably, there is still something like innate inconsistencies towards gross or delicate behavior.

To prevent false output, as if the gross behavior of Higgins in relation to the Elise is due to the exclusively existing social differences between it, the show forces Higgins to behave noticeably sharply and is impolitely also among him equal. Higgins is not particularly trying to hide from Mrs., Miss and Freddie Hill, how little he is considered to be and how little they mean for him. Of course, the show makes it possible to manifest the rudeness of Higgins in society in a significantly modified form. With all the innate tendency to the unceremonious statement of truth, Higgins does not allow such rursing there, what we observe when handling Elise. When his interlocutor Mrs. Einsford Hill in his limitness believes that it would be better, "if people knew how to be frank and say what they think," Higgins protests the exclamation "God forbid!" And the objection that "it would be indecent." The character of a person is determined not directly to the medium, but through the intermediary, emotionally painted relations and relationships through which it passes in the conditions of its environment. A person is a sensitive, susceptible creature, and not a passive object that can be given any shape, like a piece of wax. What the value of the show gives just this issue, confirmed by the extension of it in the center of dramatic action.

At first, Eliza for Higgins is a piece of dirt, which can be wrapped in a newspaper and throw in a garbage box, in any case "Drash, Chumazay Zamuhrushka", which makes itching, like a dirty animal, despite its protests. The washed and dressed Eliza becomes not a person, but an interesting experiment on which a scientific experiment can be produced. For three months, Higgins made a countess from Eliza, he won his bet, as pickering is expressed, it was worth a large tension. The fact that Eliza herself participates in this experiment and as a person is extremely related to the obligation, before his consciousness - as, however, also to the consciousness of picering - does not reach the onset open conflictwhich forms the dramatic climax of the play. To his great surprise, Higgins must conclude to state that between him and pickering, on the one hand, and Elise - on the other hand, there were human relations that do not have anything else with the relationships of scientists to their objects and which cannot be ignored anymore, but You can only resolve with pain in the shower. "Taking away from linguistics, it should first be noted that" Pygmalion "was a fun, brilliant comedy, the last act of which contained an element of the true drama: a little flower girl coped well with his role noble lady and no longer needed - she remains to return to the street or go out. Marry one of the three heroes. "

The viewer understands that Eliza made a lady not because she was taught to dress and talk like a lady, but because she entered into human relations with Lady and gentlemen in their environment.

While the whole piece of countless details inspires that the difference between the lady and the flower influence is their behavior, the text claims something exactly the opposite: "Lady differs from the floweral, as she keeps himself, but how he keeps himself" .

These words belong to Elise. In her opinion, the merit in turning it into the lady belongs to Picering, and not Higgins. Higgins only trained her, taught the right speech, etc. These are the abilities that can be easily purchased without help. The polite treatment of picering produced those internal changes that distinguish the flower site from the lady. Obviously, the statement of the elza that only the manner of handling a person determines its essence, is not the basis of the problems of the play. If the occugeed with a person was a decisive factor, then Higgins would have had all the ladies found to do with flowers, and the picering of all the flower ladies found him.

The fact that both of them are not endowed with such a magical force are completely obvious. Higgins does not show a sense of tact inherent in picering, nor towards Mother nor in relation to Mrs and Miss Einsford Hill, without causing it in their characters of small-scale changes. Pickering in the first and second acts drawn with Elise's floral with not too exquisite politeness. On the other hand, in the play it is clearly shown that one behavior also does not determine the essence. If only behavior was a decisive factor, then Higgins would have ceased to be a gentleman. But no one seriously disputes him honorary title Gentleman. Higgins also never ceases to be a gentleman because it tactlessly behaves with Eliza, as Eliza cannot turn into a lady only thanks to a worthy lady behavior. Thesis of Eliza is that only the handling of a person is a decisive factor, and the antithesis that human behavior is determining for the creature of the person, clearly refute the play.

The puzziness of the play lies in the synthesis - the person defining for the creature is its public relations to other people. But the public relationship is more than one-sided behavior of a person and one-sided appeal to it. Public relationship includes two sides: behavior and appeal. Eliza from Flowochitsa becomes lady due to the fact that at the same time the appeal with her, which she felt in the surrounding world, was also changed. What is understood under public relations is clearly revealed only at the end of the play and in its culmination paragraph. Eliza understands to himself that, despite the successful completion of classes in language, despite the radical change in the medium, despite the permanent and exceptional stay among recognized gentlemen and lady, despite the exemplary appeal from the gentleman, and despite mastering it all the most forms of behavior She did not turn into a real lady, but it became only a maid, secretary or two gentlemen interlocutor. She makes an attempt to avoid this fate by escape.

When Higgins asks her to return back, a discussion is tied, which reveals the meaning of the social relationship in principle. Eliza believes that it is faced with the choice between returning to the street and under Higgins. It is symbolic for her: then her all his life will have to give him shoes. It happened exactly from what Mrs. Higgins warned, turning the attention of his son and pickering to the fact that the girl who owns the tongue and manner of the lady is not yet a truly lady if she has no appropriate income. Mrs. Higgins saw from the very beginning that the main problem of transformation of flower beds in a secular lady can be solved only at the end of its "re-education".

The essential affiliation of "noble lady" is its independence, which can only be guaranteed income, independent of any personal labor. Interpretation of the ending "Pygmalion" is obvious. It is not anthropological as the preceding theses, but an ethical and aesthetic order: it is desirable not to turn the inhabitants of the slums in the ladies and gentlemen, like the turn of Dulittl, but turning them into the ladies and gentlemen of a new type, the feeling of their own dignity of which is based on their own work. Eliza in the desire for work and independence is the incarnation of a new ideal of a lady, who, in essence, nothing in common with the old ideal lady of the aristocratic society. She did not figure the Countess, as Higgins had repeatedly broadcast, but became a woman, the power and energy of which cause admiration.

It is significant that even Higgins cannot refuse her in appeal - disappointment and hostility will soon turn in contrast. He seems to even forgot about the initial desire for another result and desire to make a countess from Eliza. "I wanted to boast that the play" Pygmalion "used the greatest success in Europe, North America And with us. Her accurateness is so strong and deliberate that I am delighted with it in the face of the smug sage, which, as parrots, say that art should not be didactic. This confirms my opinion that art can not be any other, "the show wrote. The author had to fight for the correct interpretation of all his plays, especially comedies, and oppose the intentionally false interpretation of them. In the case of Pygmalion, the struggle concentrated around the question, whether Eliza marry Higgins will be released or for Freddie. If Eliza is married to Higgins, then a conditional comedy completion is created and an acceptable end: the elbow re-education is completed in this case by its "overlooking".

The one who gives Elizes for the poor Freddie at the same time should recognize the ethical and aesthetic abstracts of the show. Of course, critics and theatrical world unanimously spoke in favor of the "bourgeois solution". So the Final Plays remains open. It seems that the playwright itself did not know what to expect from the transfigured Elise ...

Pygmalion Piece (1913) Summary

The action of the play unfolds in London. In a summer evening, it rains like from the bucket. Passersby run to the Covent Garden market and to the portico of the church of St. Paul, where several people have already hidden, including the elderly lady with her daughter, both of them in the evening toilets and are waiting for Freddie, the son of the lady, will find a taxi and come for them. Everything is impatient, except for one person with a notebook, peer into rain flows. Freddie appears, not found a taxi, and runs to portica, but on the road, it flies on a street flowers, a hurry to hide from the rain, and embroiders from her hand with violets. That breaks out by breaking. A man with a notebook spend something hastily writes. The girl is crushing that her violets disappeared, and begging standing immediately Colonel to buy a bunch. He to get out, gives her a trifle, but the flowers do not take. Someone from passersby draws the attention of the flower players, slightly dressed and an imperious girl that a man with a notebook clearly shines a denunciation. The girl begins to hone. He, however, assures that he is not from the police, and surprises all those present by the fact that it accurately determines the origin of each of them by their pronunciation.

Freddie's mother sends the Son back, search for a taxi. Soon, however, the rain stops and she and her daughter goes to a bus stop. Colonel shows an interest in human abilities with a notebook. He is represented as Henry Higtin, the creator of the "Universal Alphabet of Higgins". The colonel turns out to be the author of the book "Spoken Sanskrit". Surname his picering. He lived in India for a long time and arrived in London specifically to get acquainted with Professor Higgins. The professor also always wanted to meet Colonel. They are already going to go dining to the Colonel to the hotel when the flowerian again begins to ask to buy flowers from her. Higgins throws her in the basket a handful of coins and leaves the colonel. Flowerian sees that she now owns, according to her standards, a huge amount. When Freddie arrives from finally the taxi caught by him, she, instead of his left mother and sisters, herself sits into the car and slammed the door with the noise, leaves.

The next morning, Higgins at home shows his phonographic equipment to Colonel Picering. Suddenly, the housekeeper of Higgins, Mrs. Pierce, reports that a very simple girl wishes to talk to a professor. Included yesterday's flower girl. She is represented by Eliza Dulittl and reports that it wishes to take the phonetics lessons from Professor, for she cannot get a job with her pronunciation. On the eve he heard that Higgins gives such lessons. Eliza is sure that he will gladly agree to work out the money that yesterday, without looking, threw in her basket. To talk about such amounts to him, of course, ridiculous, but Pickering offers Higgins Paris. He boosts him to prove that he really can, as I assured the day before, turn a street flower in the duchess. Higgins finds this proposal is tempting, especially since picering is ready if Higgins wins, pay the entire cost of learning Eliza. Mrs. Pierce takes Eliza to the bathroom.

After a couple of months, Higgins leads Eliz to his mother's house, just in her reception day. He wants to know whether it is possible to introduce a girl to a secular society. Visiting Mrs. Higgins are Mrs. Einsford Hill with his daughter and son. These are the most people with whom Higgins stood under the portico of the cathedral that day when I saw Eliz for the first time. However, they do not recognize the girl. Eliza first and behaves, and talks like a lady, and then goes to such street expressions that all the Diva present are given. Higgins pretends that this is a new secular jargon, thus smoothing the situation. Eliza leaves the crowd, leaving them in the utmost delight.

After the guests of Higgins and Pickering in vain, Mrs. Higgins are enthusiastically told about how they are engaged in Elise, as they teach her, taken out in Opera, to exhibitions, dress. Mrs. Higgins finds that they treat the girl like a live doll. She agrees with Mrs. Pierce, who believes that they don't think about anything. "

After another month, both experimenters are taken by Eliz to a great success, where it has a dizzying success, everyone takes her for the duchess. Higgins wins bets. Having come home, he enjoys the fact that the experiment, from which he had already managed to believe, was finally completed. He behaves and speaks his usual coarse manner, who does not pay any attention to Eliz. The girl looks very tired and sad, while it is dazzling beautiful. It is noticeable that irritation accumulates in it. In the end, she launches his shoes in Higgins. She wants to die. She does not know that she will continue to live with her. After all, she became a completely different person. Higgins assures that everything is formed. She, however, manages to hurt him, bring out of equilibrium and thus at least a little for himself revenge.

At night, Eliza escapes from home. Numbness Higgins and Picering lose their head when they see that there is no elza. They even try to find it with the help of the police. Higgins feels without Eliza as without hands. He does not know where his things lie, neither of him are appointed on the day of the case. Mrs. Higgins arrives. Then report the arrival of the father of the Eliza. Dulittl has changed very much. Now he looks like a beggar bourgeois and in indignation attacked Higgins for the fact that he had to change his lifestyle by his fault and now to become much less free than he was before. It turns out, a few months ago, Higgins wrote to America to one million, who founded the branches of the society of moral reforms throughout the world, that Dulittl, a simple garbagers, now the most original moralist throughout England. He died, and before his death bequeathed Dulittl Pai in his three thousand annual income, provided that Dulittl will read up to six lectures per year in his head of moral reforms. He crushes that today, for example, he even has to officially marry that for several years he has lived without registration of relationships. And all this because he is forced to look now like a venerable bourgeois. Mrs. Higgins is very glad that the Father will finally take care of his changed daughter, as she deserves. Higgins, however, and hear does not want to "return" Dulittlu Eliz.

Mrs. Higgins says he knows where Eliza. The girl agrees to return if Higgins will ask her for forgiveness. Higgins in no way agrees to go for it. Enters Eliza. She expresses pickerigue for his appeal with her as a noble lady. It was he who helped Elise change, despite the fact that she had to live in a house of coarse, sloppy and uncompatible Higgins. Higgins is amazed. Eliza adds that if he continues to "push it", then she will go to Professor Nepine, Higgins Colleague, and will be a assistant with him and inform him about all the discoveries made by Higgins. After a surge of perturbation, the professor finds that now her behavior is even better and more and more than when she watched his things and brought him homemade shoes. Now, he is sure, they will be able to live together no longer as just two men and one stupid girl, but as "three friendly old bacheloy."

Eliza goes to the wedding of the Father. Apparently, she will still live in Higgins's house, because he managed to contact him, like him to her.

Yu. A. Dmitriev - Pygmalion Bernard Shaw
From the book "Academic Small Theater. Chronological essays, performances, roles. 1945 - 1995.

In 1943, it was decided to play a comedy Bernard show "Pygmalion".

This choice is surprised. Why during the war years it was necessary to put this, let the talented, let it be filled with witty paradoxes, but still, how many people seemed to be a salon comedy? That is how it was played in 1924 at the Moscow Comedy Theater (Former. Korsh). In 1938, Pygmalion went to the Moscow Theater of Satira. And although the role of Higgins was performed by the brilliant comedian P.N.pol, did not have a lot of success.

However, all the concerns were disappeared literally on the day of the premiere held on December 12, 1943. The performance had a huge success. Running forward, say: on February 19, 1945, the hundredth of his presentation was held, on January 19, 1949 - four hundred, March 27, 1950 - five hundred.

The play went into the translation of N.K. Konstantinova, the artist was V.I. Kozlinsky, music was written by Yu.A. Shaporin. One of the reasons for the election of the play was the recommendation of the governing bodies, in the conditions of the war "Talked" to develop cultural ties between countries antihytler coalition. Moreover, the show has expressed friendly feelings in relation to the Soviet people.

The teeth told: in the fall of 1943 "We lived difficult. Save Moscow military years. Thoughts about the front, the first victories mined by great blood. Choosing the play these days was a serious, responsible business. And suddenly, at this time, we were advised to create a comedy play, put the play "Pygmalion" show. It was unexpectedly, only later, in meetings with the audience, we realized that our play especially needed to them in these harsh days, that he pleases with his kind and smart thoughts and sincere fun. "

The director understood that he puts a comedy, but she sought through funny circumstances to show serious - as a stronger, grows, the human person is growing. The teeth wrote: "In the" Pygmalion ", as a director, I was interested in, of course, not so much entertainment of the plot, how much acute satyrichness, the ideological orientation of the play, clothed in a living witty comedy form."

A few words about the director. Konstantin Aleksandrovich Zubov (1888-1956) joined the Taroupe of the Small Theater in 1936. In his youth he studied in France in technical school And at the same time at the historian-philological faculty of the University of Paris. Then the teeth studied at St. Petersburg University, simultaneously studying also in the St. Petersburg Theater School, where his teacher was the great artist V.N. Dvalov. Becoming a professional dramatic actor, the teeth played in large provincial cities, as well as in Moscow - in the theater of the Korah and in the theater of the revolution. In the Zamoskvoretsky Theater, he was not only an actor, but also the artistic director and set several interesting performances here.

As an actor of the teeth was famous for the workshop of dialogue, the brilliant ability to file replicas, so it immediately became the clear essence of the character of one who pronounced it. Most of all he managed the roles of people smart, and at the same time ironic, even cynical. His characters always looked a little on top of the interlocutors. Beautifully educated heroes of Zudov were unwittingly forced to admire their manners, the subtlety of the appeal, which were often hidden disrespect for the interlocutor, mental worn.

As the director of the teeth, first of all cared to put actors to the most favorable conditions, believed that the good execution of the entire ensemble of acting persons is the highest that the director may have to achieve. At rehearsals, he himself is a magnificent actor, giving performers general view About the image, helped solve that or another scene, the role in general and in detail, and using the show. For the Zubov, the verbal duel of the actors was the main essence of the performance, through this, first of all, the characters and relationships of the characters were revealed. At the same time, the director was not afraid of the eccentric episodes and even loved them, but he had definitely sought in these cases the logic of the behavior of a particular hero of the play. So, in Pygmalion, playing Professor Higgins, he resolutely did not notice in the street traders of the flowers of man, saw in it only the object for the experiment and squeezed ... her under the piano. The teeth gave this an explanation: "I was the key to the image of the words of Higgins from the last act:" To create life - it means to work concern. " This suggested the temperament, the domineering character of the Creator, the egoistic, who did not consider it. He does not give anyone to rest with his ideas, it becomes unpleasantly straight and even rude. "

In the play of Eliza Dulittl, D.V. Smerkalova was experiencing a metamorphosis and became an outstanding person who could fight for his dignity and for his happiness. And Higgins learned something from Eliza, realized that, besides him, there were other people with their joys and sophors. Pygmalion and Galatia, as it were, changed places, and Eliza, in turn, forced Higgins to experience metamorphosis.

And at the same time, according to its human qualities, Eliza turned out to be higher than Higgins.

In the play of the show everything was evolving so that Eliza should marry Freddie, a cute, but rather colorless young man. This was written by the author of the play in the afterword. But the development of events in the performance led to the fact that Eliza will be Higgins's wife. It did not contradict the play, but it revealed it deeper.

In the center of the play turned out to be Eliza. In the fact that for a short time, the street maras was becoming "duchess", there was a ridicule of a show over an aristocratic chic, issued for genuine culture. "Slogalova knew how to show the soul of his heroine, its sincerity, immediacy, honesty, self-esteem." At the first appearance of the Eliza, when she sold flowers near the theatrical entrance, this girl seemed ugly: a sutower, with ridiculous arms, walking the rotor, somehow bouncing, and all the time she wiped her nose all the time. It was cut by her transitions from a deafening laughter to a sighway crying.

In the second act, Eliza is to Higgins to take the lessons of pronunciation. Now she dressed up: a straw hat on his head, on the hands of gloves, though different. Its tone is independent. She is ready to pay for the lessons, but requires respect. The back of the palm of Elizes often wipes his mouth, as older women do from the people. It lies with the seal of early immotion, this is a consequence of habitat in a brutal environment: forever drunk parents, poverty, hunger. Her coming to Higgins is not accidental, he is forced as a means of struggle for existence, she wants to become a saleswoman in a flower shop. "There is no shuttless, but this is a comedy decision, the struggle for a piece of bread." Gestures and words in Eliza can be rude, but in general, throughout the performance, the image remains poetic and charming. Higgins pounds her under the piano, and there, crying, shrinking into the hem of dresses, she still manages to preserve their dignity.

After washing, in a white coat, Eliza frightened and confused. And being in the salon Mrs. Higgins, she looks like a charming young woman, but in her manners, like in a conversation, felt artificially, the words she says too clear and distinctly, but knows how to maintain a unworthy secular conversation.

In the end, Higgins has achieved his: Eliza in the Supreme Society struck with his upbringing. Now the experiment is over. Professor is tired, wants to sleep. Eliza is not interested in him, and she understood that he served him only for his experiments. "Pale, with the eyes widely revealed by Eliza on an outstanding room, face to the auditorium. Elegant evening toilet, fur and diamonds - tinsel, she does not belong.

No, this is not "Duchess", which Higgins tried to braid. This is a proud, protesting against humiliation of your dignity of a person. "

Eliza silently looked at Higgins, and in this dramatic silence connecting a discreet anger and noble outrage, the woman who did not manage to subordinate Higgins and who kept her dignity. And, as a result of indignation, shoes fly to it. But very soon Eliza takes himself in his hands and directly expresses Higgins that she thinks about him. "Mirkalova performed its task with virtuoso skill, combining the depth of content with an acute comedy form."

As for Professor Higgins, the teeth emphasized the comic peculiarities in it: awkwardness, coarseness, the fact that Higgins science ate everything, turning it into a egoist. He stopped thinking about others, was ready for everyone, including Eliza, to sacrifice to his experiments.

In the first painting, Higgins, coming out of the theater, was delayed under the portion because of the rain and hit the surrounding the fact that he gave way from where several phrases come from, barely spoke. "The Zudov had an excitement of a research scientist, with an annual departed in his research. He almost did not notice the hostile curiosity, which was condensed around him, and in general, hardly noticed who surrounds him. For him, everyone who comes across him on the way was only a casus, a small phonetic mystery, which is interesting to resolve. "

The teeth boldly drew this role with comedy paints, not fearing it to endure with witty features. He listened to Eliz, and a mixed feeling of perturbation and delight in front of the barbaric sound sounded in his replica. Confident in the hopeless stupidity of the Eliza, Higgins climbed the girl and moved to the language of orders, at the same time at the same time at a fast. And it was the highest form of disregard for another person.

Another executor of the role of Professor - M.Sarev acted basically the same as the teeth. But his character turned out to be extremely scattered, which deprived the image of Pedantism. Tsarev gave Higginsus good-natured lyrism, emphasized the unconsciousness of his egoism.

I played a very difficult role of Colonel Picering E.P.Velikh. Difficult because the colonel constantly respected. But the artist managed to create a convincing image. The gentleman presented to them turned out to be endowed with typical British composure, tact, and at the same time he was benevolent, sociable, wit. The role of Mrs. Higgins, Mother of Professor, played E.Dturchaninova. It was pale-pallets lace, a huge, but not screaming a hat, and the whole she was the embodiment of an elegability against the background of a luxurious pavilion consisting of air grids and tulle. In this pavilion, Mrs. Higgins sat a curved couch, holding a cup of tea in his hand and listened to the light chat with Eliza. "She is in English balanced, the shower is ironic." And she sadly looks at Eliza, she is not like the experiments of the training of a person who spends her son. Misanessen was built so that all the time Mrs. Higgins-Turchaninova sat, and nevertheless the actress managed to create a kind of character and interesting. An indulgent smile towards everything that happened, playing her lips. Having herself to survive the passion and knowing what they end, she is not going to give advice to anyone, because it is well aware of: rarely who wants to listen to old age in his youth. Turchaninova as Mrs. Higgins was a real lady. At the same time, the actress did not change his usual stage behavior at all. But she became an Englishman from the inside. And not in general, the British, but a representative of the class, of that age, those views, which she prescribed the show. We give an interesting note of the writer V.E. Iartov: "I approve that the role of Mrs. Higgins had to be identified by two names: Show-Turchaninov, like the Bahzoni or Mozart-leaf write." The father of Eliza, Mr. Dulittl, who was played by V.A.Vladislavsky, was a garrist, but he was distinguished by his confidence in himself and humor. Showing a rich garrower, the actor fell into the left of the water tone.

In the small role of the home-based convincing, N.O. Grigorovskaya turned out. "This Mrs. Pierce uttered the word" sir "with such solemnity and with such an English accent, which is probably inconsistent in the questions of Phonetiki Henry Higgins would recognize it typical."

Freddie performed by M.M. Sadovsky - easy man, cheerful, but unnecessarily stupid, he looked almost a capacious character. The work of the artist deserves to say about it separately. The London Street was convincing in the first act. In the Higgins office there was nothing that indicated on his scientists. It was a business man's room, and in this sense she characterized her owner.

And in general, Pygmalion in the formulation of the Small Theater, turned out to be a performance genually comedy, that is, light, but not thoughtless - he argued human dignity.
