George Eliot%Middlemarch%feminist narratology%discursive authority%marriage
Middlemarch is considered Eliot’s one of the most controversial novels. Most critics apply feminist criticism to un-scramble the novel and draw that it’s a comedown of feminist fight and a loss of feminist discursive authority for the protagonist Dorothea hides in the protection of marriage.The paper aims to employ the theory of feminist narratology to reinterpret Middle-march. Through the analysis of the two marriages of Dorothea, the dissertation draws the conclusion that Eliot manages to win the discursive authority in a man-dominating era, and the authority is based on a dual voice-the voice of a woman writing in the name and company of men.
