Pygmalion- 2

I think it's interesting how Higgins treats his job. He almost treats it as a game. Eliza is like an experiment of his. Especially when he brings her to meet people and observes how they react to her. They definately don't think that she is a poor flower girl with terrible speech. I also think it's funny how he reacts when he actually has to socialize with people. It's a bit awkward. He's just so used to observing it, and he's not really a people person to begin with.

I think that the ending of the play was a little sudden. All of the problems just seemed to fix themselves very fast. But maybe it just felt that way because it was a play and it's not written like a novel. There's not much description about what's going on aroung them.

  1. This post is too vague. Some correct facts stated throughout this entry, but I am looking for more specific insights and claims with support from the text to back it up. For example, you could say that Higgins' inability to communicate with others is the reason that he is a confirmed old bachelor. Or perhaps give an idea as to why Higgins seems to treat his job as a game.
