1. I understand that Rosamond meddles in things that she possibly shouldn't, but why oh why can't Lydgate just listen to her? Why will he not just leave Middlemarch?
2. I feel like Lydgate has come a long way since he voted for Tyke to please others. Helping Bulstrode out of the town meeting comes at a great cost to himself. Is Lydgate getting more caring or careless?
I really like how these two questions intersect and how one is a criticism of Lydgate and the other might not be. That shows us (I think) how good Eliot is at creating complex characters.
