The difference between Pygmalion in ancient Greece and Pygmalion in Dickens is as follows: Pygmalion in ancient Greek mythology was the king of Cyprus and was good at carving. He doesn't like ordinary women in Cyprus and decides never to get married. He carved a beautiful ivory girl with magical skills. Pygmalion worked day and night, giving this statue all his energy, all his passion and all his love. He caressed her like a wife, dressed her, named her Galatia, and begged God to make her his wife. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was moved by him, gave life to the statues and married them. "pygmalion effect" has become synonymous with artistic induction as long as one has persistent pursuit of artistic objects.

English playwright Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion mainly tells the story that the famous linguist Higgins changed her behavior and dress by teaching her pure English, and successfully shaped Irina Captier Lova, a flower girl with low status, into a beautiful and noble lady at the dance. This play has been widely praised by people and has been adapted into movies many times. People pay extensive attention to this and discuss the ending of the film, that is, Irina Captier Lova and Higgins get married. It is believed that Higgins successfully created a different Irina Captier Lova and led her to success. However, this paper holds that what really changed Irina Captier Lova was her inner feminism. Awakening, eager to become equal to men's female consciousness and finally help them completely change. Irina Captier Lova's awakening consciousness is mainly reflected in her pursuit of equal rights, self-esteem rights and the right to seek true love. Irina Captier Lova's feminism is first embodied in the pursuit of equal rights. In Eliza's time, women had a low status and had to endure unfair fate and status. This unfairness is evident in Pygmalion. As soon as Irina Captier Lova appeared, she was portrayed as a humble flower girl and became Higgins' experiment. Higgins once insulted her as a "slut", claiming that Irina Captier Lova did not deserve to live anywhere. At the same time, women may silently accept this unfair insult, but Irina Captier's hidden feminism made her dare to face the insult and claimed that "I have the same right as you to stand here." Irina Captier Lova boldly broke through the shackles of gender and social concepts, boldly sought equal rights belonging to women, vividly explained the definition of "women in the new period" in feminism, and emphasized the rights of women as the most independent individuals. At the same time, Irina Captier Lova's feminist awakening in seeking equality is also reflected in her daring to break the role of housewife given to women by society.
