Higgins got on my nerves a lot. He obviously cares about no
one but himself. The only reason that he agreed to help Eliza was because he
would get bragging rights from doing the seemingly impossible. If he wasn’t
trying to prove a point, he wouldn’t have even thought about changing Eliza.
When Eliza first showed up, he was annoyed and told Ms. Pearce to send her off.
Once he thought about how it would help his business if he made a poor girl
appear like she was from the upper class, he insisted that she stayed with him.
I really didn’t like his character because of how inconsiderate and selfish he
was.
One thing I noticed about Eliza was that she was very
stubborn. Once she had an opinion on something, nothing could change it. The
author made sure that we knew she was stubborn first when she wouldn’t tell how
she knew Freddy’s name. I really wanted to know how she knew this too
especially because the author made it seem like a big deal from the way Freddy’s
mother and Eliza kept bickering about it. She was also being stubborn when she
wouldn’t stop crying over nothing and she wouldn’t adjust her old ways to be
like the people Higgins was like. She didn’t want to get rid of her clothes or
take a bath and she was being a little dramatic about it. Well very dramatic
about it.
I wondered why Eliza was being so hesitant about bathing
like rich people did. The author said that she had pictures of the high class
life cut out from newspapers and magazines on her walls. She envied them in a
way but yet she acted like she didn’t want to become like them. Why was this?
Was this significant?
