Comment on the opening scene of Pygmalion Act 1

Answer:

In the play's opening scene, a number of the many different aspects that run throughout the play are encapsulated. The Eynsford-Hills, with their genteel pretensions and disdain, a wealthy Anglo-Indian gentleman (Colonel Pickering), who appears quite tolerant, a haughty egotistical professor (Higgins), who appears exceptionally intolerant, an indistinct group of nondescript bystanders, and a pushy, rude flower girl who embodies the essence of vulgarity are all brought together by the common necessity Except for the requirement of something like a sudden rain shower, these disparate personalities would never have come together in the first place. This is very beneficial to Shaw since he need a diversity of accents in order for Professor Higgins to display his genius at distinguishing dialects and places of birth in accordance with his phonetic science. It's also worth noting that his act elicits both hostility and praise from the audience. This hostility is based on the fact that, first, the crowd believes he is working for the police; second, they believe that, even after identifying where they are from, he is intruding on some private aspect of their lives that they might want to conceal — for example, many people want to conceal their place of birth due to false pride or snobbism; as a result, they believe that Professor Higgins, in identifying the backgrounds of some members of the crowd, is also Despite the irony of his profession, Professor Higgins teaches affluent individuals how to talk correctly in order to keep their origins hidden. Eliza will come to him in the next act in order for her own origins to be kept hidden from the general public.

The shop seemed to be full of all manner of curious things—but the oddest part of it all was, that whenever she looked hard at any shelf, to make out exactly what it had on it, that particular shelf was always quite empty: though the others round it were crowded as full as they could hold.
