Doolittle is not the type of individual who does more than is necessary for him and does not truly accept the norms of society. He did not want to be part of society and lived a life soliciting others. However, it changes and becomes correct. Refrains from disrespect and acts on his best behavior. For example, when Doolittle arrived at Mrs. Higgins' house, he realized that he had forgotten to greet the landlady and said, "I beg your pardon, ma'am" (page 1054). He will also get married at St.George's, Handover Square with his fiancée due to his rise in status. If he were still poor, he would have rejected the idea of participating in such an event. He said, “No: this is not the natural way, Colonel: it is only the middle class way. My way has always been undeserving” (page 1059). He commented that he never even married Eliza's mother. Doolittle's personality and appearance changed completely due to the transformation. He became someone she would solicit and loathe if she ever met
