Higgins, taking up the challenge, first asks Eliza to change her personality, pruning herself when her father, Alfred, appears and asks Higgins to return his daughter. For Higgins this is all an experiment and never seem to take Eliza’s feelings or emotions into consideration and how much it could hurt her if she found out. Pickering also bets on her that if Higgins succeeds by passing Eliza as a duchess, he would pay him the entire cost of the tuition and upkeep. She also takes some interest, seeing phonetic training to better her career prospects.Įliza even offers him a small fee but he refuses her due to his idea that he would work on her to transform her personality by changing her accent. He takes her with him to Wimpole Street to train her.
Eliza was just a stranger taken by the men’s argument and becomes a subject of their bet and learning. Both have argument over the issue of the claim of Professor Higgins that he can transform anyone, even a simple flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a duchess through her phonetic training.

His popularity rose in the early 1900s and he started to become a famous, well-respected playwright. Shaw was a very prolific writer, writing over 50 plays in addition to articles, reviews, essays, and pamphlets. He finally found some writing success with his plays, which often involved social critiques. It was only in the 1880s that Shaw turned to drama. He also became somewhat politically active, an ardent supporter of socialism. There, he began writing, starting with novels (though he found no success as a novelist). But in 1876, he moved to London to join his mother. When he was a teenager, his mother moved to London and he remained in Dublin with his father for some time. He changed schools several times as he grew older, and developed a strong dislike of schools and formal education. His father was a civil servant and his mother was a singer. George Bernard Shaw was born in 1856, in Dublin.
