Gender Construction In George Eliot’s Middlemarch: A Stylistic Approach
Authors : Ghani Yamina . Ouerrad Belabbes .
Abstract
As one drowns into the novel of Middlemarch, one is caught up in wonder at seeing re-occurring characters displaying various relations and attitudes. In this novel, the attachment of gender is so deep that it does not only leave traces within the text but goes outside of it. This paper aims at investigating how language choice used by male and female characters could reveal their attitudes, perceptions and opinions about themselves and the world around them. Practically, we tend to apply Halliday’s theory of Transitivity through the analysis of particular process types to reveal how choices can shape gender features of the main characters created in the novel. Subsequently, we afford a partial and valuable glimpse into the cultural context from a gender perspective.
