Abstract:
In a very creative but realistic way, George Eliot takes us to a fictional world where a specific web of characters evolves in an era of rapid change and a social evolution. The current study will, hence, shed light on the Middlemarch large cast of female characters, who struggle against patriarchy and decline to be “others” by rejecting submission in a passive but thought provoking resistance and succeed to gain power in a world governed by male sovereignty, all from a contemporary feminist perspective
