It is really funny! Really!
It was Friday and we were having our class as usual from 3 pm to 4 pm at dkap B2-06. Today, our lecturer continued to read with us the play “Pygmalion”. Lecturer started reading from the last part of Act 1 and as usual, we will be busy jotting down notes and explanation from the lecturer. The play was really humorous and funny. Our lecturer tried to explain the play to us, just in case if there is anyone of us who could not understand the play will not miss the humorous part of the play. Thanks to our lecturer, we could understand the play better with his explanation. Our lecturer also asked us to take note of the terms used by Mr Higgins in referring to Eliza. While our lecturer was reading the play to us, we highlighted the important phrases in the play. As this lesson is only an hour class, our class ended very soon and we were assigned to read the play to identify the duration of the time taken for the play to take place. Again, the reading of “Pygmalion” was funny !! I love it!

Honestly, I did not find "Pygmalion" very funny and amusing as Mr.Higgins harsh treatment and bashfulness towards Eliza was not a laughing matter to me. Mr.Higgins constant mocking, endless teasing and bitter sarcasm towards Eliza, the naive flower girl spoilt the fun for me. I find it simply ridicilous and degrading to put down one's self worth, dignity and pride by passing crude remarks on them. Therefore, Mr.Higgins character was a black mark or rather a stumbling block for me to fully enjoy, digest and appreciate the humour infused in the lines of the play.
