Answer:

The different dialects made it a bit difficult to understand and follow the dialogue. I could understand Higgins and Pickering well, but it was tough to understand what Eliza was saying sometimes. For example, consider this excerpt from the play:

THE FLOWER GIRL: Ow, eez ye-ooa san, is e? Wal, fewd dan y' de-ooty bawmz a mather should, eed now bettern to spawl a pore gel's flahrzn than ran awy atbaht pyin. Will ye-oo py me f'them?

I had to read this excerpt several times to understand what Eliza was saying. In such cases, the other characters’ responses to Eliza helped me figure out what she was saying.

What indications do you have that Teiresias is truly a prophet? What do you think the signs he has interpreted mean?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

He is a prophet, and he gives us several signs of his power even before he tells us his prophecy. One of the reasons why we know that he is indeed a prophet is from the interpretations that he makes of signs. The signs tell him that the gods do not approve of Creon's behaviour.
