What to Focus On

  • The act is set in Mrs. Higgins’s drawing-room in Chelsea.
  • The time is the morning after Eliza’s disappearance.
  • It is also the day of Alfred Doolittle’s wedding.

  • Eliza leaves by choice, not out of confusion.
  • She returns early to collect her belongings.
  • Mrs. Pearce helps her unknowingly.

  • Doolittle is transformed by inherited wealth.
  • Ezra D. Wannafeller is the millionaire linked to his fortune.
  • The bequest is worth three thousand pounds a year.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Eliza returns to Higgins because she has forgiven him and the act ends as a romantic reunion.

Eliza leaves Wimpole Street in anger only, so her departure is just an emotional crisis.

Phonetics made Eliza a lady, so Higgins deserves all the credit for her transformation.
