Middlemarch, Chapter 46: riassunto
Chapter 46 di 88 · Book 5: The Dead Hand · 14 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 46, Will Ladislaw grows committed to Reform through newspaper work and public speaking, while his unconventional habits divide opinion in Middlemarch. His defense of working with imperfect political allies leads to an angry misunderstanding with Lydgate, whose troubled mood comes from a furniture bill he conceals from Rosamond.
Cosa succede
- Will urges Mr. Brooke to accept practical Reform measures and develop public support through the Pioneer and meetings.
- Political work gives Will a stronger sense of purpose, although his wish to remain near Dorothea helps explain his involvement.
- Town critics attack Will’s background and speeches, while children and several households welcome his company.
- At Lydgate’s, Will defends Brooke’s political usefulness against objections about his character and ability.
- Will takes Lydgate’s defense of his own independence as a personal accusation, prompting an apology.
- After Will leaves, Lydgate hides a demand for furniture payment from Rosamond because she is expecting a baby.
