Although Eliza did not fail to fix her speech, she could have made smarter decisions when she was with Higgins because after awhile, she should have realized that Higgins is a bully. If Demetrius were to treat Helena with respect or just run away and hide then all four of the lovers would have never been in all that chaos in the forest. To Puck, the whole situation seemed like a clown show so he took advantage of them and did what he wanted to do.
