What can be learned about relationships from the movie, My Fair Lady?

As with so many films, My Fair Lady explores the relationships between men and women and between high and low social classes. Although many films explore these relationships, My Fair Lady does so with a effective sprinkling of humor and fun as well as wonderful musical numbers that enhance viewers' emotional reaction and understanding.

From the beginning, My Fair Lady explores the relationships between men and women. Early in the film, we see Eliza as practically one of the men in her dirty rough ways. However, as she learns more and becomes more cultured, her femininity become increasingly evident. Eliza becomes classy and well-spoken, traits that help set her apart even from the crowd at the grand ball.

The film also seems to explore the concept of non-romantic relationships between men and women. Eliza and Higgins spend the entire movie fighting and bickering, only to discover in the end that they have fallen in love. Despite their best efforts to stay unattached and to escape one another, they end up falling in love.
