Pygmalion - Journal Entry 2


Why was the hostess of the party so interested in Eliza? There had to be other people she didn’t know there. And Nepomummuck definitely seemed like a fraud to me. There’s no way he was that good. If Higgins taught him, he wouldn’t end up better than him. When he said Eliza was a princess, it really showed he really was a fake considering he was way off. The whole princess idea was kind of dropped after this point. They never mentioned it again in the book. Why? I thought it was significant since this is when Higgins reached his goal.

After the party, Eliza had the mental break down.  I knew this would happen sooner or later. I felt bad for her. She realized she was just a puppet and she was so naïve about it. The two men were oblivious to her being upset, probably because they were drunk. Once Higgins saw she was hurt, I think it hit a soft spot we hadn’t seen until this point but he put up a front to cover it up.

I absolutely HATED the ending of the book for three reasons. The first was that her father randomly came back because some dead guy left him in his will because of Higgins. This part confused me and was so random. The second reason was because Eliza and Freddy got together. We knew that Freddy liked Eliza because the author kept hinting at it but I didn’t think Eliza would like him back. It was so surprising. I think she was just desperate. The third reason is that it left tons of questions unanswered. Does Eliza actually get married to Freddy? Does she ever see Higgins again? Is her father more involved in her life after his wedding?  I need answers!
