Considering this and the fact that the novel was written by Mary Ann Evans under the pen name George Eliot, one may come to the conclusion that this novel is not actually about a man at all, rather it is about a woman, or better yet women. Among the main female characters of the plot ... mother of Adam and Seth and wife of Thias, has a seemingly one-dimensional role.

In the next pages we will look at Lisbeth Bede’s portrayal as the depressed woman, consider what biblical implications are made about her character and observe the effect this construction has on other characters in the novel. When we are first introduced to Lisbeth, ...
