- Abstract
The article analyzes the television series "La Femme Nikita" and "Nikita," focusing in particular on the development of the title character, portrayed by actresses Peta Wilson and Maggie Q, respectively. The author touches on several themes, including similarities between Nikita and the character of Eliza Doolittle in the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw, the depiction of the secret organizations Nikita works for as an ersatz family, and comparisons of the television programs to the films on which they are based, "Nikita," directed by Luc Besson, and "Point of No Return," directed by John Badham.
