Pygmalion Second 50 pages

 
Pygmalion Second 50 pages
One thing that bothers me in the 2nd half of the book is the section about Alfred obtaining the money. I question how this truly helps the story in any facet. It puzzled me and I continued to think about even when I was reading the rest of the story. I kept pondering possible back stories that would make this make sense, but I couldn’t find one. Another part of the story that bugged me was when Eliza ran away. I cannot understand her reasoning. The book says that Higgins and Pickering grew disinterested with their “experiment,” and that this hurt Eliza’s feelings. I find this unbelievable because she should be extremely thankful because they transformed her from a vile young lady into a formidable one. Also, I do not understand how Higgins and Pickering becoming disinterested would hurt her feelings bad so much that she would decide to run away. Even if this did hurt feelings that badly wouldn’t the turning her into a nice young lady make up for that?
