Bernard Shaw makes use of detailed stage directions which provide a basis for the characterization of the major characters in his plays. However, the minor characters are not always thoroughly described by the playwright as they’re generally categorized as unsurprising hence, flat characters. This study challenges the initial observation of the minor character named Mrs. Pearce as a flat character to the final observation of being a round character. Jonathan Culpeper’s model of characterization considers scaling of the categories of the characters which is based upon the interplay between the textual/authorial cues as well as the prior knowledge of the readers. This paper focuses upon the literary stylistic analysis of the textual as well as the authorial cues in forming an impression of Mrs. Pearce in Pygmalion.
