George Eliot offers a valuable glimpse into the lives of ordinary, historically insignificant people in his novel Middlemarch. This insight allows the reader to discover the established society in nineteenth-century provincial England and how that society shapes a relationship with the individual. Eliot uses Middlemarch and his disdain for the clichés of conventional romance to embody unimportant people – rather than the magnificent journeys, struggles and victories of princes and kings – who are influenced by the social network in which they live and interact with each other. This human social network is the main focus of the novel and, thus, a world is created in which the characters are free to imagine themselves free from the social pressures, such as marital idealism, that determine their lives. The world of Middlemarch is socially complex with how its characters interact and treat each other. With his macabre and shocking tone, Eliot uses unconventional characters, such as Dorothea and Edward, and Tertius and Rosamond, to reveal the cruel reality of marriage and the true difficulties that people face in a society full of idealistic visions. The main theme of marriage failure is woven throughout the novel and is the result of people refusing to see the imperfections or flaws in their spouse. The bonds between these characters fail because the mistakes they make are only realized after marriage, and the tragic reality destroys their once ideal visions of their partners and themselves. This ties back to the assertion that an individual's internal ideal version of themselves can never trump who they truly are as a person, and the harsh realities they face determine who that person is. When they see and learn the… medium… to support and support both Edward Casaubon and Tertius Lydgate – when the town alienates him – it is socially criticized behavior within Middlemarch. Maintaining her strong beliefs and going against the social expectations of provincial Middlemarch allows her to pursue and emerge in a new role, away from Middlemarch, in which it helps her achieve a happy ending with her second husband and highlights a change in better for the family. relationship between women and the society of the time. Unfortunately, not many characters are as respectable as Dorothea, and there are contradictions in individual character throughout the novel. These contradictions are evident in the reader's changing sympathies. For example, one may feel great sympathy for Casaubon one moment, and then Eliot makes the reader judge him harshly and critically the next moment..
