"Galatea" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a pastoral romance set in a world where shepherds and nymphs grapple with the pains of unreturned love and the pursuit of ideal romance. At the heart of the tale is Elicio, a lovestruck shepherd completely smitten with the beautiful Galatea. Cervantes uses this story to try out different writing styles, creating a world filled with lyrical expressions of love and dramatic twists among the various characters, all set against a peaceful, rural backdrop. The beginning paints a picture of this world and introduces us to Elicio, whose overwhelming feelings for Galatea kick off a story rich with longing and the complicated relationships that come with pastoral life.
