I’d like to speak about the dialogue between Nepommuck and Higgins. That’s the way I get it. The less clever and educated people are, the more pompous their speech is. The dialogue is full of irony, of course. And everything is exaggerated, but still. It IS right. And Shaw laughs at Nepommuck, finding him miserable. “Nepommuck – bowing. Excellency…” It’s disgusting. He’s two-faced, hypocritical and so on. Shaw doesn’t tell us about it directly but he manages to create Nepommuck’s character within one dialogue. Another scene I’d like to speak about is the dialogue between Mrs Higgins, Mr Higgins and Colonel Pickering. The remark “speaking together” creates the necessary effect of their total admiration of Liza. And parallel constructions like “Talking Eliza. Dressing Eliza. Teaching Eliza.” create a humorous effect and make this scene an emotional up. So, as we can conclude, Shaw is a sufficient observer.
