The interchange between language and social class can be symbolized through Shaw's characters. The author uses different characters to represent different aspects of class divisions. English social class, as a major theme, was clarified greatly through the art of speech. In most of civilization, people have been divided into classes. There are the rich and powerful, the less powerful but still respected middle class, and the incapable poor. The author skillfully imparts his own identity to his characters, giving each a language and language that fits their bubble of reality: their social class. Shaw depicts members of all social classes, the lowest of which is Liza, known for her working-class London cockney accent. Furthermore, from the middle class (Doolittle after his inheritance) to the gentry poor (the Eynsford Hills) to the upper class (Pickering and the Higgins family). Those who were classified in the upper class were known for their correct articulation of the English language. Even if the articulation was correct, it did not need to achieve perfection. The author reflects this through Mr. Higgins, who was rich and well articulated, but his manner when speaking was not as gentle as he naturally should have been. However, Shaw symbolizes the idea that language is intertwined with speech through our Pygmalion Mr. Higgins, a professor of speech and phonetics. Higgins was wonderful at his work and hobby, he was able to identify where people were born, revealing their class, by their accents. This can be demonstrated when the author states, “I can place any man within six miles. I can place it within two miles of London. Sometimes within two streets. Not just where the characters, through… the medium of paper… are more than her. This obviously without her saying a word. At his astonishing transformation, even his father could not recognize his own flesh and blood. This is demonstrated when the author states: “: I beg your pardon, miss. Elisa: Garn! Don't know your daughter? Alfred: Damn me! It's Eliza. Shaw uses both language and appearance to demonstrate how the working class was unaccustomed to the luxuries of the upper class. This tendency to judge someone's class by their appearance coupled with language was dragged out to the end of the show. Without knowing of Doolittle's alteration, Higgins judges Doolittle's class by his appearance when talking to the maid. The author describes this when he says, “Doolittle! Do you mean a street sweeper? Waitress: Street cleaner! Oh no sir, a gentleman.” The way the rich viewed the poor indicated the wide gap in society, as well as the arrogance of the elites
