pygmalion day 3 i think...

so eliza's father returns!

why is higgins so weird to him?like he just talks in circles,like he imidiatly starts accusing mr.doolittle of sending his daughter,and plotting against him and wanting money.why is that?i feel like higgins does this to everyone,just talks to confuse the hell out of them.because oviously he's intelligent and he can talk circles around them,but why does he.i really dont get his additude toward everything.

i hate saying this over and over about every character but...

i feel like he thinks he's better than the doolittles so he chooses what he wants from them,and then confusses the hell out of them for no reason at all!like hes always in control because he can play off of their illiteracy.

but anyway...

we went over today in class why mr.doolittle would come to get eliza,basically it was a taboo for an umarried woman to be away from her parents,to be living by herself,and to even be living with a man who she is not married to,so i can inderstand why mr.doolittle wants to know whats happening,but i don't get why higgins wants to throw her out,he didnt even give doolittle a chance to explain fully,he just assumed and started being very rude about it.

but then doolittle!he wanted to sell/rent his daughter out to higgins.thats so cruel.i dont care about the time or how poor he is,that is cruel to a girl like eliza,she's beaten down as is by society,then her own father goes to sell her for only 5 pounds!i do understand where he's coming from,how he;s desperate for money,but i wish it wasn't for his daughter.thats my only issue with it.

but i love when eliza comes out and no one can reconize her.then mrs.pearce asks higgins not to flatter her,i find that funny,and she thinks she looks silly!its funny because higgins isn't the one you'd think would flatter her,i guess this is the begining of an underlining relationship between them,this would lead the audiance in that direction,but as we know,it never happens.
