In George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion，the storyline centers around three main characters: Eliza Doolittle，Professor Henry Higgins，and Colonel Pickering.
Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl who is under the instruction of Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering to learn proper grammar and phonetics. Eliza can be characterized as a very sensitive and emotional person.
Professor Higgins is an arrogant (傲慢的)，work-obsessed expert in phonetics who views Eliza simply as an experiment. He is a bachelor who has never found a place for women in his life due to his obsession (痴迷) with language.
Colonel Pickering is a gentleman from India who is also an expert in language. He is gentler than Higgins and treats Eliza with respect while maintaining a professional interest in her. These three make up the main action of the play as Eliza learns speech of the upper class from them.
She manages to pass herself off as a Hungarian princess at a formal party. This achievement makes Eliza give credence to the efforts of Higgins and Pickering. After experiencing life in the upper class，Eliza settles for a lower-class life with a man who loves her for who she is and wants to marry her. After some small and unimportant
disputes，Eliza and Higgins remain friends later.
