What to Focus On

  • The setting is midnight in Higgins's Wimpole Street laboratory.
  • The action follows the Embassy garden party.
  • Eliza is dressed in an opera cloak and diamonds.
  • Eliza is silent at first, but her silence has emotional force.
  • She is ignored even after helping the experiment succeed.
  • Her breakdown shows deep hurt and exhaustion.
  • Higgins and Pickering are self-congratulatory and oblivious.
  • They talk about themselves instead of Eliza.
  • Higgins treats Eliza as part of the household service.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Higgins is genuinely pleased and grateful when the experiment succeeds.

Eliza is still passive in Act Four because she stays silent for much of the scene.

The slippers are just a random angry gesture.
