Iin Pygmalion, which of these best describes the effect the unexpected inheritance has on Alfred Doolittle?
Kaylis [27]
Alfred Doolittle is a smooth-talking garbage man, a serial monogamist (although he's not always really<span> married), a drunk, and a deadbeat dad. He's got a lot to say about "middle class morality" and complicated theories about the deserving and undeserving poor. He has principles, too, but they're not exactly conventional: he has no trouble milking five pounds from Higgins, but he doesn't want anymore than that. He wants just enough money to have a few drinks and some fun.</span>

In order to understand Doolittle, you have to understand how he speaks. This exchange is notable:

<span>DOOLITTLE ["most musical, most melancholy"] I'll tell you, Governor, if you'll only let me get a word in. I'm willing to tell you. I'm wanting to tell you. I'm waiting to tell you.

HIGGINS. Pickering: this chap has a certain natural gift of rhetoric. Observe the rhythm of his native woodnotes wild. "I'm willing to tell you: I'm wanting to tell you: I'm waiting to tell you." Sentimental rhetoric! That's the Welsh strain in him. It also accounts for his mendacity and dishonesty.</span><span> (2.232-3)</span>

He is the sum of his mysterious speaking ability. You can describe what Doolittle's saying with all sorts of fancy Greek words, but it's enough to note how he repeats those three phrases that Higgins singles out, and how his speech is sort of singsong-y. Whether or not we believe what Doolittle's talking about doesn't matter, it sounds nice. These skills get Doolittle into trouble when Higgins nominates him for some such speaking position…and he gets it, along with a generous income. He can't handle all the money; he doesn't want to be "touched" – asked to spare some change – in the same way he touched Higgins.

<span>Doolittle demonstrates how powerful and potentially dangerous words can be. Lucky for us, his intentions are (mostly) honorable. He's the character most prone to lecturing – yes, even more so than Higgins – and though his theories may not be entirely logical, his little sermons do raise some issues regarding class relations. Think of him this way: he's a stereotype of a drunken poor guy…with an oratorical twist.</span>

The opening chapters of Jane Eyre, the Reeds treat the protagonist as a/an……………………………….
Masja [62]

Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

Charlotte Bronte's classic "Jane Eyre" revolves around the story of a young girl named Jane Eyre, an orphan who suffered a lot during her childhood but became independent and found love and happiness in the end. The whole story deals with the theme of love, suffering, life's struggles, and the eventual happiness that comes.

The opening chapters of the novel present a young Jane living with her Aunt Reed and her children who treated her nothing more than a servant (<em>"you are less than a servant, for you do nothing for your keep"</em>) or a hindrance. She was asked to address her cousin John Reed as <em>"Master Reed</em>", was punished for whatever claims they can find and get, and locked up whenever she showed any form of resistance. She also stated <em>"I was a discord in Gateshead Hall: I was like nobody there"</em>, showing how unpleasant it was for her to be there and live under their care.
