Answer:

He demands perfection.

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the ways in which Henry Higgins is similar to Pygmalion is in the fact that he demands perfection. Pygmalion, in Greek mythology, was an extremely talented sculptor who created a statue of the perfect woman. On the other hand, Higgins is an obsessive professor who cares deeply about linguistics. His main purpose in the play is to turn Eliza Doolittle into a perfect lady.
