Answer:
Elisa's comments present the tone and words that were taught to her by Higgins. The fact that she tries to follow exactly what Higgins taught, characterizes Higgins as a wise teacher, who is testing the advances of his young apprentice, who is not as well trained as he seems. This shows that Elisa sees him as an old man, a teacher, since she faithfully trusts everything he taught.
Explanation:
This question is about "Pygmalion," a theater play that features florist Elisa, who has not had access to quality education and is unable to speak correctly. She wants to change her life and become a lady, so she seeks out eccentric Professor Higgins to teach her how to speak and behave properly.
Although Higgins sees his dedication to teaching Elisa, an experiment, Eliza sees him as a wise and intelligent man, who must be followed in his teachings, which she tries to follow at all costs, although it does not work out in the beginning.
Higgins presents the archetype of a wise old man, a teacher, as he is an expert in linguistics and has dedicated his life to the study of language. This archetype is reinforced when he keeps Elisa as his apprentice, so that he himself tests his ability to change someone with the power of language.
