Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Galatea" by Madeline Miller reimagines the classical myth of Pygmalion, offering a compelling exploration of objectification, freedom, and maternal love. The story centers on Galatea, the statue brought to life, and her struggle against her husband's control. He views her as a possession and is unable to see her as a fully realized person.

Confined and isolated, Galatea yearns for autonomy and the ability to make her own choices, especially to protect her daughter Paphos. She attempts to escape with Paphos to break free from her husband's oppressive control and create a better life for her daughter.
