Abstract
The present study focused mainly on certain thematic concerns, especially in a feministic perspective in the select novels of George Eliot. But in fact, It is assumed by looking at these themes, one can perhaps get a new perspective on her strengths. Some of Eliot’s women characters like Hetty or Dinah, Mirah or Esther Lyon do fail completely but more interesting are the cases in which the presentation of a woman character fails only partially, where the sentiment, the idealism, the reliance on stereotype comes only after what has seemed to be a whole new appreciation of feminine experience. As a result, this study focused on key concepts including "Sympathy and Love," "Autobiography," "Human Companionship and Unselfish Love," "Moral and Spiritual Autonomy," and "Moral Will and Personal Destiny." It is clear that George Eliot handled each of these thematic facets well. Numerous renowned writers, including Henry James, D. H. Lawrence, and James Joyce, were impacted by her writings in their fiction. The development of women who behave differently from the stereotypical female patterns those readers have grown to expect is one of George Eliot's greatest literary accomplishments. It is terrible that she is unable to implement this strategy, but that in no way justifies throwing away the works. The images of Maggie drowning, Dorothea getting married, and Gwendolen getting ready for marriage may never provide much insight, but what comes before each resignation-the struggles against or entanglement in the patriarchal values system-will endure for a very long time as examples of great and significant fiction. She portrays both male and female characters with tenderness while illustrating how human friendship is bound by moral will and spiritual liberty leading to personal destinies as unavoidable phases, but she is especially concerned to expose and reform the suffering of enslaved women. Many times, she explains how the ideas she discusses-like selfless love-come from her own experience and that some of her autobiographical components came from her own life. She also says that her exceptional insight came primarily from her own experience and thinking.
