monday's post
i feel so bad for eliza here.she just feels so down after higgins beats her up and she just sits silently.what ever happened to that additude she had,the little bit of kick that her flower girl side had?but i totally understand where she'es coming from.she's figuring out that being this lady will not last forever,that at some point she'll have to leave the house and go and find a place in the world.but after being this super refined girl for so long,how will she have the abbility to continue that on her own?what will happen to her?she can't go back to her old life and expect to be treated the same,she's a completely different person.and she can't just jump into upper class society because there will be no way to sustane herself.she's unmarried,unemployed,uneducated,but refined.how do you fit into society like that?
and higgins!he just tosses her aside like she's nothing,like she's just a little toy.she sits infront of higgns and piclering and they talk as if she's not there or can't hear a word they say.he blames it on anxioty and low spirits.he doesn't care for her own personal being,but if she has a pretty face,she's ok!
but at the end of act 4 what is higgins feeling?does he not want eliza to leave so he's insulted and hurt that she would want to?and is eliza happy to see him this way,because at the very end she almost teses him,is that out of spite or pure humor?i'm so confused with them two.does higgns like her now is that what i'm missing?has he loved her this whole time and it just flew over my head?
clearly eliza is coming out of her fantasy world with higgins and pickering,so she's trying to decide what she can have to start her new life with,and higgins takes offense to that?the fact that she's almost ready to "leave the nest"?wasn't it just a challege for him in the first place?or was this whole thing a big fake cover up about how he really feels?
i'm missing something huge here.i feel very stupid...

tuesday's post.
so eliza's gone off.higgins is freaking out,and everyone else is very calm about the situation.
and eliza's father has returned!but why i'm not entirely sure.he is dressed nicely now he looks very respectable,he's not the poor dustman we saw before,but why is what i don't get.higgins told someone that he is a original moralist?and they gave him money in his will?i'm not really sure about that.but the idea is now he has money.
one thing that i love is that he says higgins,by getting him money,has ruined him.at first i was like why?and then i thought about it and i like what he's saying,that money changes people,becoming an upperclass changes you.and that he doesn't want to change at all he liked where he was in society,in his head,in his heart,in his life in general.he was content.but throw a bunch of money in there and you have a whole new man that isn't who doolittle is.that being a gentalmen brings on more problems then not being one,that he's going to now have to deal with beggers and people trying to take his money.
money can't buy you happiness.he was a happier man when all he had to worry about was himself.now he has all this money that he thinks people will be after,and now he has them to worry about.
and thank you mrs.higgins for shinning some light on what higgins and pickering have done this whole time!eliza did well and to just be completly ignored and cast aside infront of her,is so rude and cruel.especially to someone who is as vonerable as her.and higins and pickering deny it!how is that possible!like its so frustrating!
but eliza throws it right back in there faces,she is the cool calm collectiveness that higgins is not and it makes him look stupid.and pickering is also very respectable.while higgins just continues to make an ass out of himself.
i'm almost done with act 5,hopefully tomorrow wil be my last day with pygmalion.
pg-100
