         <description><![CDATA[<div>Higgins is in a position of power and Eliza is shown almost as a servant to Higgins as she is asked to grab his slippers and tell Mrs. Pearce to do something. Basically she is told to do things for him rather than be treated as his equal. Higgins is a bourgeoisie - the capitalist class who own most of society's wealth and means of production. Eliza is proletariat - working-class people regarded collectively and she's not happy with her treatment. (Pg. 76, Act 4) Eliza: "What's to become of me? …" Higgins: "How the devil do I know what's to become of you? What does it matter anyways?"<br>Higgins and Pickering talk as if she is not there. <br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>“DOOLITTLE. What is middle class morality? Just an excuse for never giving me anything. Therefore, I ask you, as two gentlemen, not to play that game on me. I'm playing straight with you. I ain't pretending to be deserving. I'm undeserving; and I mean to go on being undeserving. I like it; and that's the truth. Will you take advantage of a man's nature to do him out of the price of his own daughter what he's brought up and fed and clothed by the sweat of his brow until she's growed big enough to be interesting to you two gentlemen? Is five pounds unreasonable? I put it to you; and I leave it to you.”</blockquote><div>Doolittle thinks of himself as a&nbsp;different species of poor person; stating that there is more to society than an upper, middle and lower class, but rather, sub-classes within each group. Essentially, in the lower class, there is an upper class of people who are better than the lowest people, but are still lower than the middle class- ‘miss the mark’ if you will. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>“LIZA. I tell you, it's easy to clean up here. Hot and cold water on tap, just as much as you like, there is. Woolly towels, there is; and a towel horse so hot, it burns your fingers. Soft brushes to scrub yourself, and a wooden bowl of soap smelling like primroses. Now I know why ladies is so clean. Washing's a treat for them. Wish they saw what it is for the like of me!”</blockquote><div>Eliza is exposed, as a person of the lower class, to experience what the upper classes have ready access to. However, she remarks how she wishes the upper class would experience her side of things, and perhaps come appreciate how her ‘clean’ is a lot harder to accomplish than that of the upper classes’.<br>This is an interesting parallel Shaw portrays in this work, as it allows the audience to recognise Eliza’s awe and bewilderment of these upper class advantages to, later in the play, becoming accustomed and expecting that standard as an every-day standard. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>“DOOLITTLE. Me! I never brought her up at all, except to give her a lick of a strap now and again. Don't put it on me, Governor. She ain't accustomed to it, you see: that's all. But she'll soon pick up your free-and-easy ways.<br>LIZA. I'm a good girl, I am; and I won't pick up no free and easy ways.”</blockquote><div>Doolittle equates wealth to laziness, as most upper class come from ‘old money’, and that hard work and self-made fortunes are scorned.&nbsp;<br><br>Eliza’s own poverty has also instilled within her a sense of modesty many upper class persons could benefit greatly from, *cough* Higgins *cough*.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Well its like this. She’s a common flower girl. I picked her off the Kerbstone.-Higgins, page 55</blockquote><div><br>In this part, Higgins is explaining to his mum that he took Eliza off the streets. By this point, Eliza acts like a middle class lady, but because Higgins did pick her up off the streets, he will always see her as lesser. She will never be middle class to him. <br><br></div>]]></description>

She can go her own way, with all the advantages I have given her. - Higgins </blockquote><div><br>Here, Higgins is explaining to his mum that after he is done with his project (Eliza), she will be able to leave with the advantages that he’s given her. These advantages include: being well spoken, being the idealistic lady, dressing her nicely and making her look “pretty.” This shows that the Marxism cycle has affected her life after being given these advantages because she has now becoming a middle class woman kind of.</div>]]></description>

Her remarks are delicious - Pickering&nbsp;<br>She’ll mimic all the people for us when we get home -Higgins&nbsp;</blockquote><div><br>Here, Higgins and Pickering are making fun of Eliza behind her back. Because the two men are from the upper class, they know how to act accordingly. Eliza, however, has been brought up differently, and has had to be taught how to act like she isn’t from the gutter. She, of course, will never be able to shake off some of her habits, and the two men think the way she acts is absolutely hilarious because of it. All because she is in a lower class to them. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>Mrs and Miss Eynsford Hill are the mother and daughter who sheltered from the rain in Covent Gardens. The mother is well bred, quiet and has habitatual anxiety of straightened means. The daughter has acquired a gay air of being very much at home in society, the bravado of genteel poverty -lines 43</blockquote><div><br>I find this quote so interesting. These two characters haven’t any money, yet are still classed as middle class. Why is this so? Is your class dictated about how much money you have or how you act? The words “genteel poverty” suggest that these two characters are stuck in an awkward position. They dont have money, yet are forced to stay in the middle class because they were born there. For Eliza however, this is completely different, she is brought into the middle class. But all three of these characters have behaviours that suggest they should be in the middle class, so they are classes as so. Interesting.....</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>You certainly are a pretty pair of babies playing with your live doll. - Mrs Higgins&nbsp;</blockquote><div><br>The sarcasm and sass from Mrs. Higgins is real. She really does see that the men, Higgins and Pickering are just playing around and experimenting on Eliza. Which they shouldn’t be because she is a Human with feelings and thoughts just like them. If you think about it, back in those days, only the well off could afford to give thier children dolls to play with. You know the kind; the ones you see in antique stores and cheesy yet nightmare giving horror movies. Only the rich could play with the creepy dolls. Higgins and Pickering have the resources to ‘play’ with Eliza, thus showing Marxism.</div>]]></description>

He relies to much on her and does not value her as a person but as someone who can work for him instead.<br><br></div>]]></description>

What right have you to go to the police and give the girls name as if she were a thief, or lost umbrella, or something?...” Mrs Higgins</blockquote><div><br>Here we see that Pickering does not understand what he has done wrong, neither does Higgins. Pickering states that he believes that the police are not taking them seriously, and Mrs Higgins agrees with him. She is shocked to find that both of them are treating Eliza like an object or something. This is another example of Marxism, which not only Higgins is shown again, but Pickering too, which is a little shocking considering that he was always trying to keep Eliza feeling like she was worth something<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>“Done to me! Ruined me. Destroyed my happiness. Tied me up and delivered me into the hands of middle class morality.” Mr Doolittle.</blockquote><div><br>Here we find Mr Doolittle complaining about being brought up in class. He blames Pickering and Higgins for removing him from his freedom of the lower&nbsp; class, stating that his happiness had been destroyed and he is all tied up with no freedom because he is trapped in middle class morality. This brings forth the idea that he preferred being in the lower class because he had freedom, but now, in a higher class he is trapped. It address the issue that everyone in higher classes are trapped within certain walls to which they have to stay inside unless they want to been seen as a lost dog on the streets.<br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"A woman who utters such depressing and disgusting sounds has no right to be anywhere -- no right to live. Remember that you are human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech; that your native language is the language of Shakespear and Milton and The Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon."</blockquote><div>Higgins is assuming Eliza's class based on the way she talks. Because she doesn't speak proper English and pronounces most of her words differently, Higgins thinks that she didn't have enough money to afford a proper education.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"You see this creature with her kerbstone English; the English that will keep her in the gutter until the end of her days. Well, sir, in three months I could pass the girl off as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. I could even get her a place as lady's maid or shop assistant, which requires better English. That's the sort of thing I do for commercial millionaires."</blockquote><div>Higgins is once again claiming that people of the upper class can receive better education and speak a more proper form of English because they have more money. He is saying that if Eliza had the proper education, she would be able to speak proper English quickly and pass off as someone of an upper class. He is once again referring to people of their classes and their language. If Higgins hears someone that doesn't have the ability to speak proper English, he will place them down in the lower class, whereas it would be the complete opposite with someone who speaks proper English.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
