Common Mistakes to Avoid

Henry Higgins is openly named in Act One, so the Note Taker and Higgins are different people.

Colonel Pickering is just another bystander, not an important moral contrast to Higgins.

Eliza is already a polished, confident middle-class girl in Act One because she speaks boldly to men.
