There are two other famous plays / films that used this play as a basis:

Pygmalion and My Fair Lady (Eliza Doolittle was the starring character)!.

The whole thing is centred around how people interact with each other and how they naturally rebel even when things are to their advantage!. This sort of situation is common in most family based sit-coms on the telly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
