Does the Pygmalion story have any modern applications? explain your answer. Based on commonlit story “Pygmalion”

Answer:

Pygmalion derives its name from the famous story in Ovid's Metamorphoses, in which Pygmalion, disgusted by the loose and shameful lives of the women of his era, decides to live alone and unmarried.

Irrespective of the point of view, Pygmalion stories always focus on the idea of making someone into someone else. Sometimes this metamorphosis (or attempted metamorphosis) is played for comedy, sometimes for drama, or straight-up horror. Whatever any particular case may be, there’s something undeniably and enduringly fascinating about the central idea; given the volume of Pygmalion retellings out there,
