eliza and love

I am struggling to figure out if Higgins actually falls in love with Eliza, or if he is forced into the relationship by "society" at the end. It this Shaw's way of making fun of Higgins?

no, i do not think that is the case. higgins actually falls in love with eliza before the actual transformation into a proper lady. he realizes this because he likes her just the way she was. society plays a role but he is not forced into loving her, it happens natureally.
