THREE CULTURAL MYTHS IN THE MILL ON THE FLOSS
Journal Title: Topics In Education, Culture and Social Development (TECSD) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
George Eliot’s novel The Mill on the Floss is considered to contain most elements of the unconventional author herself. Earlier feminist critics blamed it failed to provide solutions for women in their bewilderment of female quest, while this article holds that by disclosing women questions during the Victorian age, George Eliot answers the question for women’s tragedy in their journey for growing up and self-fulfillment. This paper analyses how Maggie was trapped in the three cultural myths—the myth of sex difference, the myth of virginity, and the myth of self-sacrifice. Then it appeals for later women to remove the conventional masks and break the mirror of the cultural myths that imprison and destroy them in their journey of self-realization
