George Eliot paints the structure of feeling pervading the 19th century England. George Eliot probes into the assaults on human society with the changes in values in response to the Industrial Revolution. What Eliot concerns is how to maintain the real order when the traditional religious faith fades away, so as to provide resolutions to the modernity moral crisis by fighting against the moral relativism and nihilism. Eliot advocates the promotion of both personal and social morality by means of the extension of sympathy and the fulfillment of duty, so as to develop a high degree of rapport between individual and society.
