Amazing syncrhonicity
Just the other day, for some unknown reason, a song from My Fair Lady popped into my head, and I was singing it in my head all day, remembering more and more of the lyrics! It was I'm Getting Married In The Morning, and it was sung by Eliza's father, who I recall was somewhat of a ne'er-do-well and scoundrel. Am I right? And then, I find your delightful post here. Thanks!

I think Eliza would have felt a little short of favor by Higgins and her impetuousness is seen in throwing the slipper back

Re: Aba
That, dear Presta, should be interesting. I did not really think from that perspective.

Re:
I am glad it brought back memories of the 60's. You must have been a heroine yourself then.

Very good of you to site this story/play/movie. It can be discussed on multiple levels. I wonder if a bit of Eliza after her transformation could have been modeled on Shaw's wife?

I am going to brag here cos I saw Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews in My Fair lady on the London stage back in the '60's. The stage show ended with Eliza coming back but when Higgins asks for his slippers she throws them at him. left everyone wondering which was fun because being a romantic girl back then, I had them living happily ever after...then I read Pygmalion LOL. Nice post and brought back happy memories. Thank you.

Sorry I have not read & commented much this past week; PYGMALION was the first play that we kids enjoyed. In poorer, non-western countries, it is harder to appreciate drama/plays or read them for fun. It is an acquired tatste. But Shaw had a way to get us to enjoy ... I like how U show Prof. Higgins" lack of romantic, or human, interest in Miss Doolittle. I had to contrast that "workmanship" with the LORD: God & Jesus works on us like an artist or scculptor, but always for us. For our essence. amen
