How does Higgins’s ego affect his point of view and create irony in his statement in excerpt 10? (Recall how Higgins sees himself and his teaching abilities. What does he say about Eliza in 10? Why does he think he’s “[made] a woman of” her? Who actually taught Eliza to stand up for herself?)

10 HIGGINS. [wondering at her] By George, Eliza, I said I’d make a woman of you; and I have. I like you like this. (Act V)

Higgins' ego prevents him from seeing that Eliza was an independent woman before taking classes with him. This makes him sum up Eliza's language and not the person she is.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Eliza was a poor florist who lived alone and had to take care of herself.
She was a very resilient, hardworking, and independent woman.
Eliza's life was what created the woman she was.
However, Higgins felt that his job as a teacher was the most important thing in the world.
He had a very big ego and believed that Eliza only became a human being after he taught her to speak correctly.

For that reason, he believed he had "made" Eliza when she was a complete woman long before.

"Pygmalion," tells the story of how Higgins taught Eliza to speak correctly and how it affected her life.
