Using examples from Act 3, describe in a detailed response how this scene develops the theme

Answer:

The answer is that even though you can have beautiful exterior and have all the correct pronunciation what is underneath will still always be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Throughout the text she is correctly pronouncing the words and she has very polite and mannerly actions when she starts to tell about her past and stories of her life she starts to become back what she was. This means that even though you can hide who you are and pretend you are someone else your true self will always come back out. This is the main theme of the story that is developed throughout this scene.

Answer and Explanation:

This question is about "Pygmalion"

Act III presents the moment when Eliza, after being trained by Pickering and Higgins, presents herself in high society. Although she exhibits very admirable behavior and speaks with impeccable diction and pronunciation, she ends up revealing her true nature when talking about the family and leaving the subject to which she had been taught. This develops the theme, as it shows that we have not been able to change who we truly are, with a new "outfit" and beautiful words, as our true nature will always reveal itself, when we least expect it.
