Eliza Doolittle

Lucille Teasdale-Corti was one of the first female surgeons in Canada. Lucille studied hard in school, graduated with top marks. She specialized in surgery. Lucille interned in a children's hospital in Montreal. While she was working she meet Piero Corti an Italian doctor who studied in pediatrics. She had to move to France to complete her training. Piero Corti, who would soon be her husband asked Lucille if she would join him in Uganda to work as the hospital’s first and only surgeon. They travelled to Gulu, Uganda, to practice medicine and to help those in need. She was the only doctor there so she saw lots of patients and lots of surgery in hard conditions sometimes. But this glorious work she did would kill her by contracting aids, she was told that she would die in two years still worked for another eleven years she died at 67 in 1996. She's one of the most remarkable women in Canada.

Rebecca Skloot, the author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, vividly described a series of disturbing events that took place. Henrietta was a woman who helped changed the face of medicine. Her cancerous cells never died. Scientists and doctors experimented with them and created new treatments to various diseases. The disturbing events that occur after the death of Henrietta are crucial if her story is to be told correctly. Some of these events include sexual assault to one of Henrietta’s daughters, the beating of Joe, Henrietta’s son, as a child, and torture to people with illnesses like Elise, another one of Henrietta’s daughters.

Eliza now has two suitors; one who is staid and reserved and one who is amiable and gay. While Mr. Boyer sees Eliza as a woman with “an accomplished mind and polished manner”, it is Sanford’s view of Eliza’s exuberant nature that ensures her downfall (10). In Major Sanford’s letter to Charles Deighton, he sees Eliza as a conquest. He writes that she is “an elegant partner; one exactly calculated to please my fancy; gay, volatile, apparently thoughtless of everything but present enjoyment” (18). Sanford does

There are many heroes during time of war, whether they are soldiers or simply volunteers helping their country. Clarissa “Clara” Barton, a shy timid girl as a child, turned out to be one of the most important health care workers during the Civil War. Between raising money for supplies, caring for the wounded, finding missing soldiers, and ultimately creating the American Red Cross, Clara Barton was among one of those heroes on the battlefield, earning the name, Angel of the Battlefield.

Additionally, Stowe shows her audience the power women can hold through their maternal sentiment as seen in her character Eliza. Despite Eliza having remained in the Shelby household throughout her servitude, she shows just how easily it would’ve been for her to escape when she overhears the Shelby’s discussing her son being sold. She shows the true measure of her inner strength when she makes a promise to her child, “''they may have sold [little Harry], but [his mother] will save [him] yet'' (Stowe, 32). Eliza proves her strength of character along with her intelligence by escaping the household undetected and continuing to keep her family safe until they are free.

Clara Barton was a true pioneer and humanitarian. She is a well known woman in American history due to her participation in the Civil War and her founding of the American Red Cross. She became a teacher at a time where most teacher's were men. She was one of the first woman to ever be hired by the Federal government and was an inspiration for all women during her lifetime and forever after

After Higgins, confesses to his undying love for Eliza. Eliza decides to leave Higgins’s home because felt that it would only hurt Higgins more to have her stay another moment in his home because she did not share the same feelings for him. She now resides at the home of Mrs. Higgins.

from the start to at the end, and the changes of Eliza, the main theme

In both the play and the movie Higgins and Pickering use Eliza/ Elliot Doolittle for their own gain; running for Congress in the movie and using her dialect in the play. Nonetheless, Higgins and Pickering transform Eliza/ Elliot into well rounded citizens. Hannah/ Henry Higgins is a proficient linguist who teaches Eliza/ Elliot Doolittle not only proper grammar, but also influences his/her overall personality in a public environment. Of course Eliza/ Elliot also receives a physical look makeover. Pygmalion readers are informed that Eliza has never taken a bath before this process, and observers of The Makeover watch Elliot revolutionize from a beer vender with a heavy New England accent to a well versed gentleman who can rock a

Eliza does not change internally because on page 64 when Alfred Dolittle taps her she screams like last time as a Flower girl so she still internally is a Flower girl inside. The author of this book was George Bernard Shaw, The book name is Pygmalion. The play is about how Eliza first being a Flower girl then Higgins helped her how to be fancy and loyal to other people he fixed her and made her better than before then she didn't need his help now because Higgins taught her everything now she can do stuff on her own without Higgins helping Eliza, she knows what to do and how to do it then she leaves and give the cloth back to Pickering and Higgins then falls in love with Freddy because she likes him just as he likes her because she didn't want to fall with someone with a different personality she married Freddy the same personality as her then marries Freddy. Characters are Eliza Doolittle, Alfred Doolittle, Professor Higgins Mrs Higgins, Parlor

This sudden change in character shows that an upgrade in social class not only changes the way that people look at you but that it can also have many benefits as well. Going against the thesis, there is one character, Colonial Pickering. Colonial Pickering is a friend and a safe haven to Miss Doolittle. She trusts him, and with good reason, from the beginning to the end of the play, he treats her the same, like a lady. ?Colonial Pickering is a compete contrast to the character of Henry Higgins in terms of manners and behaviour. Colonial Pickering is Shaw?s evidence that wealth and poverty can mix.? (Galens and Scampinato, 245). Most characters in Pygmalion expect the rich and poor to stay separate except for the open hearted and minded, Colonial Pickering.

The different classes in both plays had their advantages and disadvantages; however, some classes had more benefits than others. In Pygmalion, the upper-class was the most privileged money-wise. Henry Higgins was an upper-class educated man who had quite a reputation and enough money to take on the challenge of transforming Eliza, a lower-class woman, into an upper-class citizen. As a member of the upper-class, Higgins had access to “chocolates, and taxis, and gold, and diamonds” that members of the lower-class didn’t necessarily have (Shaw 19). These objects are associated with

However, readers of the play may argue that Eliza and Higgins stop working together and conflict later on so that supports the theory of class struggle by Marxism. But when the two characters conflict with each other it’s not because of class struggle or anything related to hierarchy, it’s because of Eliza not accepting Higgins as a teacher as Higgins starts mistreating her so rather Eliza gives the credit for her transformation to Colonel Pickering and have constant arguments with Higgins now that she have learned the dialect of a higher class. “Mrs Higgins. I’m afraid you’ve spoiled that girl, Henry.” Eliza can also be seen as spoiled because of all those higher class ways and lifestyle she just adapted to. This type of conflict can be related to a house dispute and doesn’t show a behavior of lower class revolting against higher class to gain rights. “Liza. That’s not true. He treats a flower girl as if she was a duchess. Higgins. And I treat a duchess as if she was a flower girl.” “Higgins. The question is not whether I treat you rudely, but whether you ever heard me treat anyone else better.” As for Higgins’s personality, he always treats people with rudeness so

The play "Pygmalion" describes the process of the transformation of Eliza, who appears in three images in the story: Eliza begins as a flower girl, then she transforms into a lady with noble accent and in good manners, then an independent woman with self-respect and dignity.

In the Victorian England period, how a person is viewed by society determines everything. What kind of jobs are available, who it is ok to marry, and even who is acceptable to interact with. How a person is viewed can change their life for better or for worse, and sadly women during this period must work twice as hard as their male counterparts to get the crucial social respect needed to succeed in their societies. How a person appears and how they dress plays a big part on how someone is viewed, but flower-girl-turned-duchess Eliza Doolittle must learn the hard way that just because a person fits the outside criteria of a lady does not exactly mean she would be treated as so, by society and most of all her mentor Henry Higgins. Throughout the play, Pygmalion, By George Bernard Shaw, the author makes the theme of prejudice against women very apparent by the way they are treated in society and the unreasonable expectations they are held up to, making it very difficult for women like Eliza Doolittle to move up in society and be seen as equal in the eyes of those above them.
