Pygmalion and Social Commentary – Shaw’s Pygmalion critiques class inequality and the superficiality of social transformation through speech and manners. In Shaw's ingenious adaption, linguistic specialist Professor Henry Higgins bets that he can turn a clumsy cockney flower vendor into a sophisticated young woman by only improving her manners and altering her speech patterns. The Professor falls in love with his exquisite handiwork while persuading society that his invention is a mystery royal person.

Pygmalion is one of the most well-known comedies in the English language because of its captivating theme of the butterfly's emergence, as well as Shaw's masterful dialogue and outstanding playwriting abilities. It is still often performed and is a mainstay of college drama classes.

Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his attempts to exact revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother. Hamlet is considered among the "most powerful and influential tragedies in the English language", with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". It is widely considered one of the greatest plays of all time. Three different early versions of the play are extant: the First Quarto (Q1, 1603); the Second Quarto (Q2, 1604); and the First Folio (F1, 1623). Each version includes lines and passages missing from the others.
