Abstract
The aim of this extended essay is to compare and contrast two characters in two different plays—George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” and Willy Russell’s “Educating Rita”—in terms of the difficulties they face, their ambitions and efforts, and their expectations from the course. Despite taking place in different times, these two plays share common themes such as education and self-development. “Pygmalion” takes place in the Victorian era in which social distinctions are seen between the classes. On the other hand, “Educating Rita” takes place in a much more modern world. In this time there isn’t as much class distinction and life conditions are better than during the Victorian era. These two different approaches to the self-development of individuals have common points as well as contradictory ones. These important differences and similarities are the subjects of this essay.
