Why does Freddy love Eliza? Is his understanding of her character different than Higgins’s? Compare Freddy’s and Higgins’s motivations.

Freddy is an upper-class young man of around 20, somewhat weak although eager and good-natured. Proper and upstanding, he is infatuated with Liza and thoroughly devoted to her both before and after she takes shelter with him in an all-night cab after leaving Higgins. Liza claims to be going back to him at the end of the play, an idea which Higgins finds preposterous. Freddy does not have the money to support them both (and from Liza's perspective seems unfit for difficult work), which prompts her idea to earn a living by teaching phonetics. Unlike Higgins, Freddy looks upon Eliza as more than an experiment and has more clearly defined feelings for her.
