MY FAIR LADY

MY FAIR LADY
Social class
Throughout the movie, we see social classes taking two forms, either high class or low class. In the setting, low class and high class are shown as a way of living. Higgins' experiment focused on the possibility that social class has less to do with money or connections and more to do with proper education, training, and manners. It succeeded when someone thought Eliza was a princess.
Love and egoistic
Men would never be sensitive to how women feel long as their wish is fulfilled even though deep inside their heart they have the same feeling as what being shown in Professor Higgins’ character. He falls in love with Eliza but tend not to show his feeling to her. Eliza feels hurt as she thinks that her value is no more than those slippers. She is just an object that can be manipulated. Though she is hurt, her love conquers everything when she comes back to Higgins’ house.
Transformation
Eliza was being optimistic when she decided to change her Cockney accent. She was naïve and thought that she could be employed in a better place instead of selling flowers on the street. Her aspiration was manipulated by Professor Higgins and Freddy Eynsford-Hill. Nobody seemed to bother when she sold flowers on the street, even Freddy would not recognized Eliza was the flower girl that stumbled with him.
