When he uses the pronoun <em>them</em>, he talks about women.
He says <em>"Pygmalion had seen them, spending their lives in wickedness, and, offended by the failings that nature gave the female heart, he lived as a bachelor, without a wife or partner for his bed".</em>
And that is why he decided to create his own partner, he carved a sculpture and he fell in love with it.
I’m confused what is your question?
Answer: C) Cautious
This excerpt transmits a cautious mood. The narrator is telling us of the man he has met. The man is slightly scary, but not outright dangerous. It is clear that he makes the narrator slightly uncomfortable, but he does not seem to be completely threatening. Therefore, while the narrator continues to interact with him, he does so with a cautious attitude.
