Reminder that any novel afterwards is striving for the magic she attained.
Middlemarch is the perfect inspection of humanity.

Eliot's deep love of humanity made it impossible for me to be as cynical.

Dorothea is pure without being an idiot. She found the impossible balance for an actually interesting Mary Sue character.

if i loved this, will i like Austen?

>>8794943
read this to understand exactly why dickens falls flat

>>8787947

>>8781858
so this is modernist then?

reading this book could help you understand how to develop a grand sense of sympathy that will haunt you in the best of ways. Learn to love opie, and the only sadness you'll have is that you can fix everything with your love.

Model yourself after Dorothea (and Christ) and you will be happier than anyone around you due to the sheer, white light you exude.

This is GOAT

eherm.....

Why isn't Middlemarch meme'd on here? It's certainly long enough and has been regarded as the best novel in the English Language.
