But when she finds herself pregnant, she runs from home in a desperate search for her lover. Adam remains loyal to Hetty even after her desertion by Arthur and she agrees to marry him. Adam notices Arthur's romance with Hetty and tries to intervene, but no effect. The squire of that village Arthur Donnithorne is also inclined to Hetty and she futilely dreams of becoming the squire's wife. She is a beautiful niece of the farmer Martin Poyser. Her major innovation was rustic realism focusing on the common man.Īdam Bede, a skilled and refined carpenter in the Midland village of Hayslope, is blindly in love with Hetty Sorrel. Her work was radical and innovative in its time, contributing a lot in the English literature.
Though her work appear less realistic when compared with other modern works, she initiated large steps that helped to allow for the creation of contemporary fiction. For her, like poetry, novels too can express and give didactic lessons about the quality of human life and their condition. She, as a novelist, is recognized by her own mode of sketching the characteristics of her characters within their professional climate.Īdam Bede is her first experimentation with the new type of fiction that is quite different from other Victorian novelist. This is one of the distinctive specialty of George Eliot. Likewise, Arthur Donnithorne is also characterized in the atmosphere of his work. She characterizes Dinah Morris not in an atmosphere of isolation, but within the religious atmosphere of preaching. She sketches Adam Bede not by isolating him from his profession, but locating him within his own professional climate. This experience and event influenced her to write a novel along with other stories. The girl was waiting for execution for the murder of her child. The origin of the story plot was from the idea of her aunt Elizabeth Evans, a Methodist preacher who had spent in the condemned cell at the Nottingham jail with a girl. Thus to represent this troubled reality is the primary intention of the novelist George Eliot.
This trouble is actually created either by their own weakness or by certain tempting forces that come from outside. George Eliot represents the troubled life of her people. Consequently their lives faced lots of troubles and difficulties. Pushed by those negative forces, some rustic people deviated themselves from the normal path of living and thinking. Those changes create certain ambitious negative forces in people. During George Eliot's time certain changes have been emerging. George Eliot is acutely aware of those forces which were affecting a gradual transition in society.
