Middlemarch Synopsis

George Eliot's novel Middlemarch has been graded as one of the most significant novel in the English literature. The novel was published in 1871 and 1872 in eight volumes. The story focused on the inhabitants of the Middlemarch, a fictional town in Midland England.

Eliot has covered the important aspects of human life as education, religion, politics, social status of women and marriage. Believing in rationalism Eliot has raised real life issues in the novel. Middlemarch is not meant for entertainment she elaborates the results of taking the wrong decisions.

The novel is mainly centred on lives of two characters Dorothea Brooke and Tertius Lydgate. Dorothea is an intelligent, wealthy, young women who married Edward Causa on, an elderly scholar, seeking wisdom and enlightenment herself. In the other hand, young doctor, Tertius Lydgate marries mayor's daughter Rosamond Vincy to get support of his dedicated wife to fulfil his dreams.

But both faced cruel reality, their dreams shattered. Dorothea gets rejection from her husband and Lydgate is unhappy to see Rosamond's selfishness and egoism.
