A little insight about professors

I finally know why the show is called Pygmalion. The professor gave the flower girl a chance to be reborn, just like Pygmalion carved a statue of a woman and gave her life, but the professor's social status and knowledge made his machismo inflated, he did not understand love, despised love, He is afraid of love, and terrifies the interaction between people, so that when love comes, he will not know how to express it, and he will not look at her with the right eyes. I won't look at her equally, and I won't give her dignity, so I prefer Bernard Shaw's original ending. In the end, the flower girl didn't return to the professor. If I were a flower girl, I wouldn't return to such a low emotional intelligence person. Around

Professor Henry Higgins: Eliza, you are to stay here for the next six months, learning to speak beautifully, like a lady in a florist's shop. If you work hard and do as you're told, you shall sleep in a proper bedroom, have lots to eat, and money to buy chocolates and go for rides in taxis. But if you are naughty and idle, you shall sleep in the back kitchen amongst the black beetles, and be walloped by Mrs. Pearce with a broomstick. At the end of six months you will be taken to Buckingham Palace, in a carriage, beautifully dressed. If the king finds out you are not a lady, you will be taken to the Tower of London, where your head will be cut off as a warning to other presumptuous flower girls! But if you are not found out, you shall have a present... of, ah... seven and six to start life with as a lady in a shop. If you refuse this offer, you will be the most ungrateful, wicked girl, and the angels will weep for you.
