In George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion," the flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, is upset that the gentleman is recording her speech because she feels humiliated and objectified. She perceives the act as a mockery of her working-class background and her struggle to be taken seriously. Her speech, which reflects her social status, becomes a subject of ridicule rather than a genuine interaction, intensifying her feelings of vulnerability and frustration.
