Love
... But the most puzzling and vexing mystery known to mankind is: What is love and how do we attain it? Love means many different things to many people and takes many different forms. ... Love is a complex enigma, and one of the most unpredictable forces in nature. Many people often turn to books, friends, or experts to seek advice as to how to teach them to cope when love becomes unmanageable. In George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” much can be learned about the triumphs and tragedies attributed to love. In the love triangle that exists between Eliza, Professor Higgins, and Freddy, the attainment of genuine love never seems to be fulfilled. ... Yet, the reader is surprised and disappointed when Eliza chooses to marry Freddy rather then the man who seems to be her true love. ... In the play, there is a sense that Eliza is truly in love with Higgins and not Freddy. ... Eliza chooses to marry someone she did not really love because she felt unworthy of being with Higgins. ... Her love for Freddy is more a love of convenience rather than true love.
