pygmalion day 5 and 6

so eliza's first public outing.did it go ok?i had mixed reactions to the characters reactions.i felt like they liked eliza,but they were confused by her.i feel like higgins taught her the accent but didnt teach her the speech.like teaching a language just with vocab,but not teaching them how to speak in sentances.

i like freddy,i really hope something happens between him and eliza.because i feel like he needs something positive.but i also feel like eliza's going to hold her head high and take the single route.because she seems to be the independent woman type.thats why i dont want her with higgins,even if it doesn't happen,i would never want them together.because i feel that higgins would destroy eliza,and make her a boring housewife rather thatn her out going,"poor" self.

clara's interesting too.you can totally tell she was some what interested in higgins.but she felt threataned by eliza.because thats the first thought for that time.

i thought it was interesting how pickering acted like he didnt know eliza.but then higgins ruined it by blurting out how he knew the hills and freddy.i wanted to say he's being stupid because they're totally going to remember eliza.even mrs.hill said she knew her eyes,and i think freddy definatly remembered her.

absolute favorite part of this part.the way eliza speaks becomes a new way to talk!clara wants to talk like her.and i think its just about having balls to say what you want.like eliza does,and higgins just wanted to cover up her mistake.but now its a new fashion!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

so moving on.

i feel like after eliza's first outing, higgins is starting to care about her.he says he dislikes teaching her,but i feel like he's becoming fond of her.he even says how he likes her because she can remember his appointments,he's almost realising she's not just this little project he has to work on,but that she's a human and she has feelings,plus she is useful besides being the men's science project.she can make a life for herself.

its shocking to see how much eliza is improving.higgins and pickering both raved about her to mrs.higgins.she can do things that took higgins years to master.i feel that its her drive,because she needs this to make a better life.higgins was well off and followed his dream,eliza didn't have that silver spoon when she began.higgins always had that so if the speech didnt work out,he had something to fall back on,plus he was educated!so he could do anything.eliza lived on the streets forever,and has nothing good to fall back on.

mrs.higgins point makes alot of sense and backs up what i think.eliza can be passed off as a refind woman,but she isn't one.she will always be that girl from the streets,and she wont have the oppertunities,that her personality should have.it's almost unfair.

but the men just blow it off,because what do they have to worry about?nothing,they have lives outside of eliza,eliza has nothing outside of what she learns from them.
