Pygmalion

So we have a man named Pygmalion who is so disgusted by the women in society that he is ends up making a female statue and falling in love with it. Lucky for him, the goddess of love hears his prays and turns the statue into life. This story kind of reminds of the idea of the price charming. Pygmalion had this idea of his perfect women who he falls in love with. For girls, it the idea of price charming who’s features of course vary from girl to girl, but still its a perfect flawless individual that we shape, much like Pygmalion shaped the girl. While reading the story it occurred to me that nobody asked he girl if she chooses Pygmalion as her husband and what would happen if the statue never turned human or better yet, what would of happened if it accidentally shattered. Although judging from Pygmalion’s actions I think he would of eventually went mad.  Never the less, referring to the image, the statue is turning into a woman. I think this this the climax of the story. It image is the exactly correlating with the text but I like it because it captures the transition of going from a statue into a woman.
