In Pygmalion there is many themes throughout the story. In this essay I am going to tell you about two of them, along with a relationship from one and how it relates to myself. One theme in the book is “do not judge a book by its cover”. Another theme in the story is wealth and poverty.
    “Do not judge a book by its cover” is the first theme that I recognized in the story. It means do not judge someone until you actually get to know them. This relates to me because I judged a person who is now my best friend before i knew him well enough to tell what he was actually like as a person. I figured he was just going to be another person I was not really close to, he and I ended up having a lot of things in common. Now he is my best friend and we do a lot of things together. This proves a point of “Do not judge a book by its cover”.
    There are many more themes that are in the story but I picked Wealth and poverty as my last choice. This can relate to the “do not judge a book by its cover” theme. Just because someone is richer than another does not mean that they are not living a happy and nice life. We do not know what put them in there financial situation, if they were born into poverty then we cannot help that,but if they put themselves in poverty for doing dumb things then that is there own fault. People who are born into wealth sometimes take things for granted, you can go from being rich to being poor in an instant. I chose this theme because the theme of wealth and poverty go along with “do not judge a book by its cover”.
    These are just some of the themes in this story. I chose these because they can closely relate to each other and to my life.
