   Why did Eliza refuse to marry Freddy?

   • Now, though Eliza was incapable of thus explaining to herself Higgins's formidable powers of resistance to the charm that prostrated Freddy at the first glance, she was instinctively aware that she could never obtain a complete grip of him, or come between him and his mother (the first necessity of the married woman).

   Will Eliza marry Freddy?

   • Unless Freddy is biologically repulsive to her, and Higgins biologically attractive to a degree that overwhelms all her other instincts, she will, if she marries either of them, marry Freddy. And that is just what Eliza did. Complications ensued; but they were economic, not romantic. Freddy had no money and no occupation.

   Why did Freddy refuse to add the last straw to his burden?

   • He absolutely refused to add the last straw to his burden by contributing to Eliza's support. Thus Freddy and Eliza, now Mr. and Mrs. Eynsford Hill, would have spent a penniless honeymoon but for a wedding present of 500 pounds from the Colonel to Eliza.

   Why did Eliza and Freddy have a long relationship?

   • It lasted a long time because Freddy did not know how to spend money, never having had any to spend, and Eliza, socially trained by a pair of old bachelors, wore her clothes as long as they held together and looked pretty, without the least regard to their being many months out of fashion.

   Will Eliza marry Freddy Eynsford Hill?

   • The play is followed by an epilogue, which Shaw calls the “sequel,” in which he outlines what he believes would happen to the major characters after the conclusion of the drama. Although Eliza continues to be intensely interested in Higgins, even regarding him as “godlike,” Shaw says that she will almost certainly marry Freddy Eynsford Hill.

   Is Freddy younger than Higgins?

   • Now Freddy is young, practically twenty years younger than Higgins: he is a gentleman (or, as Eliza would qualify him, a toff), and speaks like one; he is nicely dressed, is treated by the Colonel as an equal, loves her unaffectedly, and is not her master, nor ever likely to dominate her in spite of his advantage of social standing.
