Throughout the second half of the book, Higgins complains about how Eliza complains about being treated well. I definitely do see both Eliza's and Higgins' side of the story. For Eliza, she was never used to being treated like a lady. She was used to being treated like a low flower girl, which she was. When she was brought into Higgins' care, she began to be treated like a lady, as every girl should be treated. When Eliza began to be treated as such a lady, she began to get expectations as how she should be treated. When these weren't done in such a way that she liked, she claimed that she was being treated badly.
On Higgins' side, not every word that he said should've offended Eliza. I understand that he wasn't really tyring to offend Eliza or make her feel bad. That was just Higgins' nature. He seemed very outspoke and hot-headed. If Higgins' got mad I would not want to be in the room with him.
One question I have is how is Freddy so in love with Eliza when he has never even really met her. Sure he might've seen her a couple times in the street or in Higgins' office, but I don't remember him every getting to know Eliza.
When they kiss after Liza has stormed out of Higgins' building, it says that Liza is hungry for comfort. Isn't that the only reason why she is kissing him? Becuase she needs comforting? I don't understand how their love blossoms, after never really having many conversations and suddenly their kissing, which is one thing, but then saying that their in love is another. Do people just fall in love the first time they see somebody? I figure the author just needed Liza to go to something and a quick love story would do.
One question that popped into my mind, was why out of all the places she could go, did Liza go to Higgins' mother? Doesn't she know that that would be a quicker place for Higgins to find her than a hotel or another place? I'm guessing she felt welcomed and warm there, though I don't quite understand why.
