Started and finished this while waiting for the NS ferry. Yeah I am so annoyed at NS.

Anyway Galatea is just quite okay like it’s a feminist retelling that discusses objectification and the masculine need to dominate and other such topics intertwined with gender. There isn’t the poetic language that one might find in other Miller works, though.
