In this paper, George Bernard Shaw’s ideological backgrounds will be investigated, and the discourse of Eliza, protagonist from Pygmalion, will be analyzed through her dialogues in order to prove that she has a “Life Force,” which is a key element of Shaw’s ideology, essential to renovate and develop the world. Eliza was a very poor and dirty girl, and could not speak well. But, after having struggled with oppressions and violence at the hands of her antagonist, Higgins, she has finally become a strong and proud person, thanks to her Life Force.
