Lady?
- Speaks in her usual, unrefined Cockney dialect.
- Dressed in her own clothes, not in formal evening wear.
- Doesn't seem to have acquired any more education.
- Hasn't changed her opinion about class; still thinks the upper class is unjust and hypocritical.
- Doesn't express any gratitude towards Higgins; in fact, she's still resentful of him.
- Rejects Higgins's offer of a job as a "flower girl" at his Covent Garden balls.
While Alfred Doolittle appears to have undergone a dramatic transformation into a gentleman, Lady remains largely unchanged. She's still the same outspoken, independent woman who she was at the beginning of the play. This shows that true social transformation is not as easy as it might seem. It requires more than just a change of clothes and manners. It also requires a change of heart.
