This is a play about a man who picks a poor person off the street who sells flowers named Eliza Doolittle. The mans name is Henry Higgins. Henry makes a bet with another man named Pickering. Thebet was to see if Henry could make Eliza, the poor girl from the streets, into a elegant, beautiful girl with good manners. But I think that Henry gets too attached to Eliza so when she overhearsHenry and Pickering talking about how they thank God its over, she gets really mad, Henryand her get into a fight, and she leaves. Henry Higgins was a gentleman. He dressed appropriately for different occasions andalways tried to look his best. Henry was could be called eccentric aswell because he lookedand acted a little odd at times. He looked to be among the high by the way he dressed andspoke but at the same time he didnt seem to be in the high class because of his lack ofmanners.
Henry Higgins main trait was that he was sometimes coarse, and rude at times. Beingcoarse means that he could be rude or obscene on occasion. He shows this on a number ofdifferent occasions. For example, when Eliza first makes an appearance at Henrys mothers house, Henry was jumping all over the tables and screaming like a maniac. He also shows thischaracter trait when he is talking to Eliza at the end of the play, when he shows that he actuallydoes have feelings for her, she tells him that she loves Freddy and he loves her very much inreturn. He then makes fun of Freddy saying that he is a pathetic loser and that he will never beable to support a now high class woman like Eliza. Although Henry is best described as coarse, he also possesses other traits aswell. Henry Higgins is a well spoken gentleman, but in a different way.
He speaks perfect Englishand never makes a mistake in his pronunciation, he is actually not supposed to because he himself teaches people to speak properly. He is very boisterous which means loud. He showsthis trait when he makes fun of Eliza when she does her expression, Ahhaaaooo! He tries to imitate it and sounds very annoying while doing so. He is also very energetic. He shows us thiswhen he teaching Eliza how to become a lady, hes jumping all over the room and screams ather to get it right. He will not take advice from anybody and when he is arguing with somebody,he always has to be right. He is also a very stubborn but yet determined person. He shows thistrait when his mother trys to give him advise but he wont take it. He doesnt show his emotionswell atall. When his mother tells him to tell Eliza how he feels about her, he doesnt do anything because hes scared about what shell say.
