Alfred
Doolittle is a man changed by wealth at the end of the story. He returns to reflect how money
has hurt his lifestyle since his earlier appearance. He complains that while earlier in life he
was able to put on airs and receive favors from others, now the expectations on him are greater
due to his wealth. He had little need because he could ask for money or charm people into
helping him because he wasn't wealthy, but now his role is reversed where people are trying to
charm him into money or favors. In addition, his girlfriend, or lady, wants to marry him because
of his newfound wealth. This makes his life duller and more difficult and he wishes to return to
the simpler times of before.
