literaturev 's review for:
Middlemarch
by George Eliot
It took me a month of reading it but it’s worth it! This novel is indeed, as Woolf said, a victorian novel for adults. It fascinates me how Eliot described every character in detail. This novel doesn’t only tell that a couple finally got married but it goes farther than that: what happens next. Middlemarch, a town where everyone knows and is connected with each other, what one does will have impact to others.
My favourite couple is Fred and Mary! They’re so sweet together!
But i dislike Rosamond Vincy/Lydgate. She’s so narcissistic. Dorothea is brave: giving it all up for love. If I were her I’d travel the world instead.
Middlemarch has simple become one of my favourites! If you struggle in book 1 already, I’d say: don’t give up! But don’t force read it. Take it slow. I find that this novel requires full attention and you can’t simply speed read it.
IF I may wish that George Eliot had done: I wish that she had written this novel a bit longer about Dorothea's life after she married her second husband. I find it to be too short
