1. Money and status are very important to the characters in Middlemarch. What if everyone in the novel suddenly became a part of the lower class? If they did not have jobs, money, fancy clothes, homes, and jewelry, how would they react? What would they value if money and status were no longer part of their lives? Would they be more hardworking or more lazy? Would they get along more or resent each other more?
2. Dorothea, Will, Rosamond, and Lydgate... Obviously there are some issues among the four of them. There is a lot of relationship tension and jealousy in this group which makes so many problems and feelings arise. How do you think the various situations could have been improved? Would more communication make the problem better or worse?
