How does Shaw criticize the British class system in his play Pygmalion?

Kathryn Draney

• In his play , Shaw
  criticizes the British class system by depicting situations that show that it is nurture, not
  nature, that influences the worth of a person.


• For example, Eliza is transformed and fools high society, proving that
  her poor genes do not actually affect how society views her if she wears the right clothes and
  acts the right way.
