After that, the teacher can lead the students to have a discussion about the ending of the play. Show the following.

1. Do you think Eliza should marry Henry?

2. Do you think Eliza should marry Freddy?

3. If Eliza loves Henry and marries him, do you think he will become a good husband?

About ten minutes later, ask the students to present their answers.

Sample answers:

I think Eliza will marry neither Freddy nor Henry. After all Freddy does not know the past of Eliza. If one day Freddy learns about that, he will not accept all of this. He belongs to the upper class and maybe in his deep heart he looks down upon Eliza. As for Henry, I think he is very greedy and proud. He only treats Eliza as his bet. He only wants to prove he is capable, although at last he falls in love with Eliza. However, when he truly marries Eliza, the selfishness will again appear. He will not become a good husband. As a matter of fact, Eliza has become a confident girl after experiencing these things. Maybe she will find her true love at last.
