In Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, Eliza Doolittle is a flower- girl who unexpectedly meets Professor Higgins, a phonetician, during a rainy night in Covent Garden, London. Later, Eliza is undertaken as a pupil of the Professor, as part of an experiment, in which he promises to passes her as a noble in the period of six months. However, to conform to Higgins's home, Eliza has to deal with his rudeness and lack of empathy. The Professor thinks that she has not feelings and that the only purpose of the lessons will be to concentrate on her speech and appearance. Confronting this situation, Eliza decides to leave Higgins's home, but he convinces her to stay by tempting the girl with thoughts of wealth and prosperity. During this process of making Eliza into a refined lady, she will have to put up with the Professor's constantly mistreatment and mockery to fullfil her aim.

"Unanimity Has Been Achieved, not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness," by Bob Kaufman, represents the urban poor’s social problems. Kaufman often starts his stanzas with ‘I’ with which he wants to refer the problems of them as personal and to the readers. In need to awaken to the injustice prevailing in society, in his own words states that "extravagant moments of a shock of unrehearsed curiosity," he wants his readers to move themselves from their apathy. The use of ‘I’ refers as if he is conveying from his own personal experiences.
“I can remember four times when I was not crying & once when I was not laughing.
I am kneaded by a million black fingers & nothing about me
improves.”
Kaufman not only addresses those injustices but condemns them. He urges his readers to reject all the social norms that construct society and results in poverty.
Also through the use of the first person, he strives to call for equality in the society.

Which event most clearly contributes to the monsters hatred of humans?
Orlov [11]
The question is a bit vague, but I'd say D because a monster who saves a child and then gets shot by the father would surely contribute to "monsters' hatred of humans"
