- You may find it interesting to compare "Educating Rita" with "Pygmalion". It is also interesting to speculate whether Willy Russell intended Educating Rita to be his version of the Frankenstein story. When this novel is mentioned in Act II Scene V of Educating Rita, it is implied that Frank's creation (Rita) has turned on her creator, who can no longer control what he has made. The strong sense of the loss of the power to control is exactly what Frank feels.
