The rain was still falling against the windows and the wind was blowing strongly. Inside the library, there was silence. Dorothea sat down on a couch in the middle of the room. Will sat down beside her and held her hand. ´Oh, it is impossible!´ Will cried. ´We love each other, but we can never be married!´ Middlemarch is George Eliot?s classic story of the lives and loves of people living in a small English town. The idealistic Dorothea, unhappy and bored with her marriage, begins a sensitive friendship with her husband?s young cousin, Will Ladislaw.
