    Sparknotes is a really great site and,probably, all of these are studied there. I've read Pygmalion some time ago, but I still remember it was a very nice and easy book. I also read My Antonia and, oh disgrace of mine, I had an exam over it... I really hated that book!! Burn it if you can!

    Pygmalion, maybe, you have to be more specific, My Antonia, no way!

    I will finish Pygmalion before I go to bed tonight. If you have a specific question I would help you. Like I've said before though, it is an extremely short and easy read

    I read the book a long time ago (about 10 years... more or less), so I just remember the plot, not the symbols or themes. Still, try asking something and I'll see if I can answer.

    One of the sources Shaw used for Pygmalion was the Pygmalion myth. A specific element of this myth which he used was Higgins' attitude towards women. Name two other sources Shaw used for this play and explain how he used a specific element from each source....

    Sorry, I'm too dumb since I don´t remember any other source... maybe "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen has something to do with it... or not.
