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.
