Questions for 3/9


1) Why do Harry’s parents want Ruth’s children? If they complain about money all the time, wouldn’t the children be an extra burden? Does reputation have anything to do with it?

2) Compare and contrast the role of gossip and reputation in Ruth Hall with Middlemarch. Are women writers in the 19th century trying to tell society something? Have things changed today?
