The renowned dramatist George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, which combines many factors of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House and delivers his ideas on woman’s social status in his society, exemplifies the application of intertextuality in drama from three aspects: the image of characters, the behavior of character, and the relationship between characters.
