Although the way a person dresses can symbolize something about them, the assumptions made from outward appearance do not always prove true. Eliza changes her appearance a great deal throughout Pygmalion. Henry buys her fancy dresses and throws her old, dirty clothes away. He teaches Eliza how to speak correctly and hold herself like a duchess, but who she is inside remains the same no matter what Henry does. When Freddy Eynsford Hill first .....
