s well as getting her man, like Eliza Doolittleand similar to Pygmalions statue. Each woman is transformedinto a new identity. My Fair Lady and Pretty Woman are thestories that more young women will be able to takeinspiration from and shows once again that its verypossible to find true women with hearts of gold. PrettyWoman really shows society that regardless of your livingstatus, class or occupation, all women have the ability togrow, change and succeed buried deep inside. Not allprostitutes or street people are helpless, and meaningless.They can have genuine hearts as well and sometimes they aretruly more honest and real because of the experiences thatthey have lived through and the challenges they have facedthus far in their lives.In all three stories, both the man and woman can beseen as an archetypal hero. Pygmalion, Professor Higgins andRichard Gere all each take the risk of helping these women,and society could view them negatively for their involvementwith the lower class. Eliza and Julia take a big risk inbeing stepped on and being ridiculed lower than they alreadyare compared to the mens lifestyles. They are archetypalheroes because they have strong character and are willing tochange. These women have the confidence and ability tochange and this shows society that again, anything ispossible. The only downfall was the verbal abuse both womentook from the elite class, as they were learning to adapt.High society doesnt appreciate or care for prostitutes, butfor everyone to be fooled and convinced of this new womanshows their absurdity. A person has a heart of goldregardless of their status even if it is not evident to thenaked eye....
