Eliza and the 6 pillars of Character.
There are six pillars of characters. They are; trustworthiness, respect, .
responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. Eliza's character from the play .
Pygmalion shows similarities to the six pillars of character. She falls into the .
descriptions of all six. She did not fit the six pillars until she came in contact with .
Higgens. Higgens had taught her well and turned her into a sophisticated young lady.
Eliza fit the description of trustworthiness because she was always honest and .
open minded with her options about things. She never cheated anyone out, or.
stole .
from anyone. Eliza was afraid to touch things because she didn't know if Higgens gave .
them to her to keep, or if they were his very own. Eliza was a very respectable young .
woman. She treated everyone with dignity and respect, but didn't give it back from the .
other around her. Good manors were something she never used, or even never heard of .
until Higgens taught her the proper way. Eliza was very responsible she always obeyed .
and did what she was told to do from the others. .
The last three pillars were ones that she did, and didn't fit. When it came to .
fairness she would always listen to others about what they had to say which was good, .
but she always wanted to be the one who had the last word, and say in an agreement. .
Eliza is a caring young woman that forgave Higgens for all the nasty and mean things he .
had said to her. The last pillar citizenship Eliza did not fit because she wasn't a citizen of .
the town until she had met Higgens. He has turned Eliza into a better person by these six .
pillars of character. He taught her everything she needs to know, and how things should .
be done the right way.
