Wow, her father would really sell Liza? That shows how poor they are, and possibly where Liza got some of her personality from. Poor Liza, I feel a bit bad for her now to be honest. She has to take a lot from these people, all of them, really. Pickering's pretty nice to her, though. I kind of wish they would've shown Liza's lessons (they would have been amusing, I'm sure) but they probably would've gotten boring really quickly.
Clara and her mother seem to be so shallow, and not really the most intelligent people out there. I think that's what Shaw wants us to think; he's showing us what he thinks of the wealthy upper class of his time period.
So Freddy and Liza are a couple for real now? I'm not sure. Freddy seems kind of drunk, and Liza's definitely in need of some comfort, so I'm not positive they're serious or in love or anything.
It's quite funny and definitely ironic how Liza's dad, the one poor person who probably wouldn't want it, inherits a ton of money from a complete stranger.
I'm glad Liza finally got some backbone and stood up to Higgins (he had been such a jerk to her the whole time, whatever he might say about being a jerk to everyone, though that does have some merit) but I still never really saw where she and Freddy fell in love; it must've happened sometime off the page, or maybe I was blind and just didn't notice.
