Daniel Deronda, Chapter 65 summary

Chapter 65 of 71 · Book 8: Fruit and Seed · 13 min to read the chapter

In Chapter 65, Gwendolen asks Deronda whether she should accept her husband's money, and he advises her to keep it while using her independence responsibly. His encouragement gives her hope and supports her plan to reunite her family at Offendene, but her growing dependence troubles him because other commitments bind him.

What happens

  1. Deronda answers Gwendolen's summons with sympathy and anxiety, knowing that he cannot give her everything her attachment demands.
  2. Gwendolen proposes keeping only enough of her husband's money to support her mother, taking nothing for herself.
  3. Deronda advises accepting the full provision, keeping her burden secret, and letting remorse guide her use of financial independence.
  4. He encourages kindness toward her family and presents her suffering as a possible beginning of moral renewal.
  5. Gwendolen urgently asks for further visits, and Deronda agrees despite fearing the pain of a stronger attachment.
  6. During further meetings with her mother present, Gwendolen discusses bringing her family to Offendene and expects Deronda at Diplow.
