2. Introduction of writer
 Mary Anne Evans (22 November
1819 – 22 December 1880;
alternatively "Mary Ann" or
"Marian"), known by her pen name
George Eliot, was an English
novelist, poet, journalist, translator
and one of the leading writers of the
Victorian era.
 She is the author of seven novels,
including
 Adam Bede (1859),
 The Mill on the Floss (1860),
 Silas Marner (1861),
 Middlemarch (1871–72),
 Daniel Deronda (1876)
 most of which are set in provincial
England and known for their
realism and psychological insight.

3. Introduction of Middle March
 Middlemarch, A Study of
Provincial Life is a novel by
English author George Eliot, first
published in eight installments
(volumes) during 1871–2. The
novel is set in the fictitious
Midlands town of Middlemarch
during 1829–32,and it comprises
several distinct (though
intersecting) stories and a large
cast of characters.
 Significant themes include the
status of women, the nature of
marriage, idealism, self-interest,
religion, hypocrisy, political
reform, and education.

4. Marriage as Theme
 A Study of Provincial Life
 The "Woman Question”
 Marriage
 Marriage is one of the major themes in Middlemarch as, according to critic
Francis George Steiner, "both principal plots are case studies of unsuccessful
marriage".Within this account is the suggestion that the lives of Dorothea and
Lydgate are unfulfilled because of these "disastrous marriages". This is arguably
more the case for Lydgate than for Dorothea, who obtains a second chance
through her eventual marriage to Will Ladislaw; however, a favourable
interpretation of this marriage is dependent upon the character of Ladislaw
himself, whom numerous critics have viewed as Dorothea's inferior. In addition
to these marriages there is the "meaningless and blissful" marriage of
Dorothea's sister Celia Brooke to Sir James Chettam and, more significantly,
Fred Vincy's courting of Mary Garth; in this latter story, Mary Garth will not
accept Fred until he abandons the Church and settles on a more suitable career.
In this regard, Fred resembles Henry Fielding's character Tom Jones, both
characters being moulded into a good husband by the love they give to and
receive from a woman.

5. Marriage as disaster for the
character of middle march

6. conclusion
 Thus, Middlemarch stubbornly refuses to behave like a
typical novel. The novel is a collection of relationships
between several major players in the drama, but no
single one person occupies the center of the action. No
one person can represent provincial life. It is necessary
to include multiple people. Eliot's book is fairly
experimental for its time in form and content,
particularly because she was a woman writer.
 “Marriage is a great institution, but I’m not ready
to be institutionalized.” –May West
