Other people's feelings do not really seem to matter when it comes to what he has to say. He treats others with very little respect and has very little regard for their feelings. Henry tends to walk all over other's. ]]> 2016-12-19 15:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144331477 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144331900 Eliza Doolittle is a little wacky in the beginning. She was very pushy with others when she was trying to sell her flowers. Although, as she became a lady, all that changed. She was respectful of others and did not butt in to conversations. She spoke when spoken to and was very kind to others. Her manners were very nice as well when she became a lady. ]]> 2016-12-19 15:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144331900 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144332298 Colonel Pickering was always the opposite of Henry Higgins, he had respect for Eliza when Henry did not. He treated her the same ways as he would treat any other lady. He was patient with her and with others and he actually did take other peoples's feelings into consideration before speaking rudely to them. ]]> 2016-12-19 15:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144332298 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144334061 Eliza Doolittle is selling flowers in the rain outside of a church, she is speaking to a gentlemen trying to get him to buy some flowers when she is told that some bloke is writing down what she is saying. She thinks it is a cop but it is just Henry Higgins, he states that he could take her and teach her how to be a lady and could pass her off as one anywhere. Later the next day she arrives at Higgins' house and makes a deal with him that he will teach her to be a lady. Through out the next 6 months, Higgins, Pickering, and Mrs. Pearce teach Eliza to speak and behave like a lady. She is passed off as a lady but Higgins and Pickering think they are the ones that should take all the credit. She gets frustrated and leaves. Higgins tries to talk her into coming back but Eliza ends up marrying Freddy, a man she met at one of the gatherings that she went to. ]]> 2016-12-19 15:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144334061 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144336979 In the Greek myth, Pygmalion carved his own "perfect" lady out of marble for himself. In the Pygmalion play, Henry Higgins turn Eliza Doolittle into his idea of the "perfect" lady. ]]> 2016-12-19 16:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144336979 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144337610 At the beginning, Henry Higgins was really rude. He had no regard for other peoples feelings. By the end of the play, he was a little less rude, he became more open to the feelings of the people around him. 
Eliza Doolittle was very stubborn when the play first started. Through out the play it is very noticeable that she is softness up more and is more willing to do this. ]]> 2016-12-19 16:11:06 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144337610 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144339240 Old England is where this play takes place. This is significant because they had social classes which plays into it very well because Eliza was the lowest class but was then taught how to become a lady and then rises in the social classes. Speech is Old-time England is also significant because if you did not speak very well then you were obviously a lower class, like Eliza. Speech was very important to the classes in England. ]]> 2016-12-19 16:18:03 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144339240 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144340387 Henry Higgins is quite rude and blunt. I feel like this motivates him to not treat people as well as he should.
Eliza Doolittle is kind and stubborn. This and her being in lower class and not having good speech motivates her to become a lady and better herself. 
Pickering is kind and understand and this motivates him to treat others as well as Eliza politely. ]]> 2016-12-19 16:23:41 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144340387 17jbarenthin https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144353013 I enjoyed the play for the most part. The only thing that I did not like is that some parts were hard to read/understand. This was really only a problem in the first part of the play before she learned how to speak like a proper lady. Other than that, i enjoyed and understood the play pretty well. ]]> 2016-12-19 17:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/17jbarenthin/hne7ov7mq4mh/wish/144353013
