In George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion," Liza Doolittle unintentionally disrupts Mrs. Higgins's home by behaving in a manner that is considered inappropriate and unrefined for high society. Her lack of etiquette and social graces clashes with Mrs. Higgins's expectations of decorum, leading to tension and discomfort. Liza's presence challenges the norms of the upper class, highlighting the class distinctions and the transformative effects of language and education.
The irony in Higgins' instructions to Mrs. Pearce about how to deal with Eliza lies in his insistence that she treat Eliza as if she were a lady, despite his own dismissive and condescending attitude toward her. Higgins, who sees himself as superior and often speaks of Eliza in a derogatory manner, fails to recognize the inherent contradiction in expecting Mrs. Pearce to uphold the standards of respect and gentility that he himself does not embody. This highlights Higgins' inability to understand the emotional complexities of Eliza's transformation and the inherent dignity she deserves.

Additionally, the scene underscores the theme of the importance of outward appearances in shaping one's identity and how presentation can influence one's social standing.
