Daniel Deronda, Chapter 37 summary
Chapter 37 of 71 · Book 5: Mordecai · 24 min to read the chapter
In Chapter 37, Daniel Deronda returns to London, challenges Hans Meyrick’s use of Mirah as a model, and hears his friend confess his love for her. Daniel arranges opportunities for Mirah’s singing, but his jealousy exposes feelings he hesitates to explore while uncertainty about his own origins troubles him.
What happens
- Deronda finds Hans painting Mirah as Berenice and objects to the choice of model and its possible consequences.
- Hans dismisses the danger of public recognition, admits loving Mirah, and rejects Deronda’s warning that religious differences make marriage unlikely.
- In Chelsea, Mirah praises Hans’s performances, while Deronda resists being treated as someone without personal needs.
- Deronda announces an audition with Klesmer and a proposed drawing-room appearance that could bring Mirah singing pupils.
- Mirah decides to retain Lapidoth rather than conceal herself from a father who might need help.
- Deronda recognizes stronger feelings for Mirah but holds back, troubled by his unknown origins and lack of a confidant.
