| | The Pygmalion Myth |
 | | This is clearer in the sonnet, for in claiming that "[t]heir images I loved I view in thee," it allows for the possibility of the current loveobject to in time become one of those past images. | | | The camera discovers Dietrich behind the veil, and this discovery is made with the urgency of Rousseau's Pygmalion: "I must see her again, examine her again. | | | Taken together with the widespread critical comparison of SternbergDietrich to PygmalionGalatea, it is certainly believable that Sternberg consciously imagined himself as a Pygmalion figure. |

| | Glasgow Citizens Company - Pygmalion |
| | I dare say there have been funnier (and more superficial) productions of Pygmalion, though the middle act is a hoot with its inclusion of a modern-day profanity, but few can have come so close to the emotive heart of Shaw's vision, which is no less dramatic for all its socialist idealism. | | | This is a heartless version of Pygmalion, true to Shaw's intellect but false to his passion and his irrepressible joi de vivre. | | | But it is difficult to engage fully with Shaw's big themes, and with the powerful ebb and flow of his arguments, when you don't feel a thing for any of the characters. |

| | Pygmalion (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Pygmalion is a fictional character from the Roman poet Ovid, found in the tenth book of his Metamorphoses. | | | Shaw's play also owes something to the legend of "King Cophetua and the beggar maid"; in which a King lacks interest in women, but one day falls in love with a young beggar-girl, later educating her to be his Queen. | | | By the 19th century, the story often becomes one in which the awakened beloved rejects Pygmalion; although she comes alive, she is initially cold and unattainable. |

| | George Bernard Shaw: Pygmalion |
| | Pygmalion is represented by Henry Higgins, who is an expert on accents and pronunciation, and who undertakes to transform her speech so that she can be taken for a duchess at a society party. | | | Pygmalion is a play which is concerned with Shaw's ideas about society and class in much the same way as Saint Joan is concerned with his ideas about religiion. | | | The play is rather unusual in its appearance; it is set out as though it were a novel with dramatised speech, which can be a little bit disconcerting (and is certainly irritating). |

| | Pygmalion was an attempt to allow people to use their enactive and iconic mentalities along with the symbolic in solving problems. | | | While this made some things easier to program than in Pygmalion, it is interesting to note that in his thesis he reported making exactly the kinds of boundary errors mentioned above because he could not see actual values. | | | This is a little schizophrenic of Pygmalion: on the one hand it attempts to make programming accessible to a wider class of users; on the other, it relies on the kind of planning which only experienced programmers are good at. |
