Marxist perspective: Evaluating Pygmalion or My Fair Lady

Write a brief essay in response to either Pygmalion or the film My Fair Lady.  The response will be written from a Marxist interpretation.

Consider wealth, class, economic power, economic inequities and how these affect the character, their situation and how they are perceived as well as how we perceive them.

You are allowed to pair up with another person to write this.  Please write it on google drive and share the document with me: karina.reyes@juneauschools.org by Monday.

If you're stuck,  use p 118 as a template/guide for your paragraphs.  The instructions for writing the essay are on page 120:

 Write a reflection that explains how looking through another critical lens changes or enhances your
 understanding of the play. Be sure to:
• Explain what new insights, if any, you have gained through using Marxist
 Criticism.
• Cite textual evidence to support your understanding of Marxist Criticism.

• Include commentary that explains your understanding.
