1. Both George Bernard Shaw in Pygmalion and Ovid in

"Orpheus Sings: Pygmalion and the Statue" center their

texts around a "creative person" archetype. Which line by

Higgins from Pygmalion most clearly communicates how

Shaw develops Higgins as this archetypal character in Act

I? *

A. "There, there, there, there! who's hurting you, you silly girl? What do yo

take me for?"

B. "Simply phonetics. The science of speech. That's my profession: also

hobby."

C. "Woman: cease this detestable boohooing instantly; or else seek the

shelter of some other place of worship."

D."Well, sir, in three months I could pass that girl off as a duchess at an

ambassador's garden party."
