Brainstorm: In Act IV, Eliza asks, “Where am I to go? What am I to do? What’s to become of me?” What are Eliza’s options, given by the setting of the play? What are some possible options and pros and cons of each? List 4.
She might marry this is certainly an option this can be a pro because her husband can help her this is a con because her husband can bring her dreams down
Opening her own flower shop this is a pro because this will totally help her advance in life. It will show higgins that even though they degraded her she was able to get what she wanted. 2.
Writing Prompt: Now that you have read Act IV, you have a clear picture of Higgins’ and Pickering’s attitudes toward their “project.” Think about what Eliza should do next.
Write two paragraphs explaining what Eliza should do next. Consider each of the three charactersHiggins, Pickering, and Elizaand pose your ideas from each of their perspectives. Be sure to:
● Define what you think Eliza’s next steps should be.
● Address the three characters’ perspectives.
● Support your position with textual evidence from Acts IIV as appropriate. If I was Eliza and I heard people saying I was simply their experiment i would be offended and mad. Higgins and Pickering shouldn't be thinking that they are better than Eliza. They are the same as Eliza in some ways, for instance they are bad spoken and they try to think as though they are more elite than her. Even though Eliza was low class she seemed like a nice person. Higgins and Pickering were the opposite they were high class but very rude. What I think Eliza should do next is show them that she is better than them and is more kindful in doing it. She should open her own flower shop and and advance in life. Show them that even though she came from the ghettos anyone can get out if they want to and become something in life. Just like Higgins stated
