The flower girl, Eliza Dolittle, is beautiful and smart, but she was born in a poor family. She goes to the streets every day to sell flowers to earn some money to support her father. One day, Eliza's vulgar accent caught the attention of the linguist Professor Higgins. The professor boasted that as long as he was trained, a flower girl could become a noble lady. Eliza felt that what the professor said was an opportunity for her, so she took the initiative to ask the professor to train her and pay the tuition. After being ridiculed, the professor’s friend Pickering (in order to complete Eliza) bet him that if Eliza is allowed to attend the ambassador’s garden party to be held in two months as your wife without being seen through the truth, then Pi Klin was willing to bear all experimental expenses and Eliza's tuition, which aroused the professor's fighting spirit, and Higgins readily accepted the challenge. He is not to be outdone, he starts from the most basic letter pronunciation. Higgins is an energetic and scientific scholar who can forget about everything he is interested in. He is open-minded and does not harbor any malice at all, but like a child, he does not care about other people's feelings and trains Eliza strictly.
Once, when Higgins took Eliza to his mother’s family dinner, the young gentleman Freddie was deeply moved by Eliza’s beauty and self-talking expression. She is the dirty flower girl who once peddled to him in the rain. Higgins is in his 40s and has not yet been married. He has never looked down upon young girls, but he can't live without Eliza. Eliza takes care of his clothes, food, and appointments.
However, what annoyed Eliza was Higgins' simple and rude temper. He taught her gentle language, but never treated her gentle.
Six months later, Higgins confidently brought Eliza and Pickering to attend the reception hosted by the Greek ambassador. Eliza attended this ambassador's reception as a distant relative of Colonel Pickering and Professor Higgins. She went all out, talked and laughed freely, was personable, and radiant. When she appeared and was favored by the queen and prince, people stopped talking, admiring her depressing demeanor. Her handling of people is mellow and sophisticated, and just right. Higgins’ first student, Nibomke, exhausted her housekeeping skills to deal with Eliza in order to hear her origin, but Eliza made her dizzy and failed. And back, Higgins succeeded. Eliza was dazzling at the reception!
But when he returned home, because Higgins ignored the exhausted Eliza, and instead just celebrated the success of the bet with her friends, Eliza, who was full of fear for the future, was not understood. She was sad and left angrily. Higgins's home. She met the infatuated Freddy at the door. After seeing him at the racecourse, he couldn't pursue it. He almost wandered under Eliza's window every night, watching Eliza silently, and Eliza was moved by his infatuation.
Although Higgins had a violent attitude, it was subtle and affectionate over time. After Eliza ran away, he became very depressed. He went to his mother's house to ask for help but met unexpectedly, but the two quarreled again. Eliza said she was going to marry Freddie, Higgins was surprised and angry, and left angrily. But on the way home, she couldn't help thinking of Eliza, thinking that Eliza had been integrated into his life.

My Fair Lady quotes

  • [first lines]

    [sounds from crowd, occasionally a word or phrase, indistinct and mostly not associated with a character]

    Mrs. Eynsford-Hill: Don't just stand there, Freddy, go and find a cab.

    Freddy Eynsford-Hill: All right, I'll get it, I'll get it.

  • Alfred P. Doolittle: What am I? I ask you, what am I? I'm one of the underserving poor, that's what I am. Now, think what that means to a man. It means he's up against middle-class morality for all the time. If there's anything going, and I puts in for a bit of it, it's always the same story: you're undeserving, so you can't have it. But, my needs is as great as the most deserving widows that ever got money out of six different charities in one week for the death of the same husband. Heh, I don't need LESS than a deserving man, I need MORE. I don't eat less hearty than he does, and I drink... oh, a lot more. I'm playing straight with you. I ain't pretending to be deserving... no... I'm undeserving, and I mean to go on being undeserving. I like it, and that's the truth. But, 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, fed and clothed by the sweat of his brow till she's growed big enough to be... interesting to you two gentlemen? Well, is five pounds unreasonable? I put it to you... and I leave it to you.
