Pickering: Character Profile

As we are currently in the Development stage of our production I See Monsters, we have begun to create character profiles for our roles in the production. This helps us get a feel of our character and who we’re playing.

Pickering – Role: Henry Higgins’ Sidekick

In social situations, Pickering is often a follower. Especially when it comes to Henry Higgins, he looks up to him in almost a Godly way, and believes Henry is full of wisdom. He often agrees with him and has similar views to him, but he’s not afraid to call him out if he’s getting out of hand. Pickering is part of the upper class, he’s quite a snob and looks down at the lower classes. Even laughing at them at times. However, throughout the play, and getting to Eliza better, he too does realise they are still human when it goes too far. At the end of the play, he even apologises to Eliza, showing that he does have a caring side to him. Movement wise, he sits and walks very properly, further establishing his social class. He sits with a good posture, however at home he can relax a little more.
