Throughout history, iconoclasts have played a vital role in transgressing society's self-imposed boundaries, expanding individual perception beyond society's prejudices. Such revolutionary ideals are rooted in many of the greatest works of literature, essentially giving up society's previous prejudices in place of a new and revolutionary perspective. Such works serve as an impetus for the spread of further revolutionary ideals, allowing for a continuous renewal of society's core beliefs or a cyclical cleansing of society's perceptions. Shaw's Pygmalion and Brecht's Galileo attempt to refute the ideals of their time by centering on the triumph of radical subjectivity, in the form of invention and intellectual property, over contemporary dogmas of society. In Shaw's Pygmalion, Eliza Doolittle's dialogue results from various changes in intellectual property thinking. Higgins and Pickering initially believe that dialect derives from social class. Higgins shows a standard reaction to the proletariat's flower girl, while Pickering's treatment of Eliza is more unusual. Pickering treats Eliza as a member of upper-class society. Higgins treats Eliza as his creation; an object of which it determines the reasoning. Higgins's single-minded behavior results in conflict between him and Eliza, as presented in their argument: “Higgins: [Eliza] won my bet! [Elisa]! Presumptuous insect! I won it” (Shaw 50). Higgins gives no credit for Eliza's hard work at the party. Pickering's behavior is equally inflexible but opposite to that of Higgins. The main difference between Higgins and Pickering is in how they view Eliza as a human being. Pickering never regarded Eliza as an object of intellectual property: "[Pickering] calls [Eliza] Mis... middle of paper... those who enforce intellectual property and those who resist it. Radical notions have manifested themselves through Shaw's Pygmalion and Brecht's Galileo. Brecht embodied radical ideals in the form of Galileo Galilei's vast scientific discovery, while Shaw manifested such ideals in Higgins' experiment to transgress social divisions. Both works symbolize the ancient clash between radicals and society, the continuing clash between radical reforms and adherence to widely accepted ideals. Higgins and Galileo represent resistance to society's long-standing prejudices and prejudices, and their ideals face widespread opposition and rejection from society It is evident from this analysis that both Shaw's Pygamlius and Brecht's Galileo attempt to refute contemporary dogma through their portrayal of radical ideals that prevail over society's misperceptions and prejudices..
