The Life of Galileo

by

Bertolt Brecht

Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on The Life of Galileo makes teaching easy.
Mrs. Sarti is Galileo Galilei’s housekeeper and mother to Andrea. While Galileo thinks only about the Sun, Moon, and planets, Sarti must think of practical things like the monetary situation of the household and paying the milkman. She may be domineering in this regard, she also cares deeply for Galileo, and risks her life to stay with him during the outbreak of the plague.
