| Abstract: | This dissertation aims to analyse the treatment of love and marriage in George Eliot' s The Mill on the Floss, Middlemarch, and Daniel Deronda, and is divided into three chapters accordingly. The author's personal history has been taken into consideration, particularly with reference to the first work, The Mill on the Floss, in which there are several similarities between George Eliot's own life and that of the novel's heroine, Maggie Tulliver. Eliot's treatment of the theme of love and marriage in these three novels strongly outlines her own personal views about the morality of choosing to marry for love over other motives, such as mercenary reasons. |
