“Yes! Thank God; human feeling is like the mighty rivers that bless the earth: it does not wait for beauty—it flows with resistless force and brings beauty with it... "
I really think the book's title should be Hetty Sorrel instead of Adam Bede. The whole book mostly talks a lot about her beauty anyway. She is also the one who struggled the most, while Adam Bede's most difficult dilemma is a broken heart.
This book is so dense but in some chapters, I felt cosy reading it. A small community with a lot of characters, complaining mothers, and vain girls, in some way, reading this felt like home. However, I have to complain that Dinah's sermon is really, really long. I almost stopped reading.
I didn't hate it but I didn't particularly like it either.
PS: I believe Seth Bede is an angel.
