Eliza Doolittle is a poor girl with a thick accent and no prospects. Henry Higgins and Colonel Pickering are gifted linguists. The three have a fateful encounter one night in Covent Garden, during which Higgins reveals his talents as a teacher.

10. Pygmalion Plot Analysis Complication
Alfred Doolittle, Eliza's father, shows up and blackmails Higgins into giving him some money. Eliza is a quick study, but teaching her proper grammar and manners proves difficult. Freddy Eynsford Hill falls head over heels for her anyway. Higgins's mother warns him that he's only hurting Eliza by training her.
This is where things get, well, complicated. Eliza's father threatens to end the bet before it starts, teaching Eliza proves difficult, a romantic element is introduced, and a warning is issued. And rest assured, that warning isn't there for nothing.
