Professor Higgins undertakes her education and transforms her into a lady who can pass not merely as a duchess but as a princess at an ambassador’s garden party. She speaks a London dialect and is entirely uneducated and uncultured. Next, there is Eliza Doolittle, the flower-girl, the only character in the play that changes and grows under the stress of circumstances. He resides with him and pay his soft, considerate and gentle manners, he throws into sharp relief the tough and bullying ways of Professor Higgins. Then there is Colonel Pickering who is conceived as a foil to Higgins too is a student of Phonetics, has already written a book Spoken Sanskrit and has come all the way from India to meet Prof. While he is a celebrated scholar, he is rough and uncultured in his ways, swears dreadfully, is untidy and slovenly in his manners, and is authoritative and domineering. He can tell the locality in which a person resides simply by hearing the dialect spoken by him or her. He is devoted to his subject and is an expert in his knowledge of various dialects spoken in the city of London.

Shaw was a very prolific writer, writing over 50 plays in addition to articles, reviews, essays, and pamphlets. He finally found some writing success with his plays, which often involved social critiques. It was only in the 1880s that Shaw turned to drama. He also became somewhat politically active, an ardent supporter of socialism. There, he began writing, starting with novels (though he found no success as a novelist). But in 1876, he moved to London to join his mother. When he was a teenager, his mother moved to London and he remained in Dublin with his father for some time. He changed schools several times as he grew older, and developed a strong dislike of schools and formal education.
His father was a civil servant and his mother was a singer. George Bernard Shaw was born in 1856, in Dublin.
