discuss about the bet between higgins and pickering also state the after effect of his bet?
This play is a reflection of Shaw's own society at the time. The bet has much to do with how this very patriarchal future viewed women and class structure. Shaw's depiction of women and attitudes toward them is impressively and sometimes confusingly varied. They are shown in conventional roles – as mothers and housekeepers – and as strong-willed and independent. The play pays special attention to the problem of women's "place" in society (or lack thereof), and Shaw offers no easy answers to the tough questions that arise.
