~Mιddlεмąrch~Ep. 1~2/6~

Audio original con subtítulos en español.
Dorothea Brooke, a los diecinueve años, ha recibido «una educación para jovencitas comparable a las cavilaciones y opiniones de un ratón pensante», pero, activa e idealista, enamorada de un sesudo erudito en temas mitológicos, desea, «pobre criatura, ser sabia también ella». Con esa altitud de miras contrae matrimonio... y el matrimonio es un fracaso. Tertius Lydgate, por su parte, joven médico emprendedor, anhela convertir la provinciana ciudad de Middlemarch a la «cultura científica» desafiando prejuicios e implantando reformas: a la bella Rosamond Vincy el talento del joven le suena a una condecoración en la solapa o un ilustrísimo delante del nombre y está convencida de que casándose con él accederá a una gloriosa vida social. También su matrimonio es un fracaso. Y, en tercer término, Fred Vincy, el muchacho superfluo y sin vocación, y Mary Garth, la muchacha hacendosa y prudente, se gustan, se separan, se ponen a prueba y se vuelven a encontrar antes de consagrar ese vínculo al que solo la experiencia y la resistencia parecen garantizar la fortuna y la felicidad.
Middlemarch (1871-1872) es la historia de tres parejas sujetas a los frágiles hilos del saber y del error, entretejida con la crónica minuciosa de los destinos de toda una comunidad en una época de cambios y reacción. Quintaesencia de la novela victoriana, George Eliot marcó con ella un hito en la historia de la literatura universal.
English:
In this 1994 BBC adaptation of George Eliot's novel, altruism, social reform, and romantic love struggle to survive against snobbery, economic oppression, and self-indulgence. Set in the fictional town of Middlemarch in the 1830s, the film begins when Dr. Tertius Lydgate (Douglas Hodge) arrives in the community to begin a medical practice. Because of his knowledge of the latest medical techniques and his desire to do humanitarian work and pioneering laboratory research, Lydgate becomes the ideal candidate for the pro bono position of superintendent of a new Middlemarch hospital.
REPARTO: Rufus Sewell, Jonathan Firth, Juliet Aubrey, Robert Hardy, Peter Jeffrey, Caroline Harker

Ah, dear Dodo cares for aesthetics a little more than she'd care to admit.

I can't help but be pained whilst watching her fall for a man who claims to 'live too much with the dead.' I'm sure many women can relate to her ambition and desire to break the bonds of female convention during that period, but I think Dodo forgets that marriage is not a mere business proposal. One does require love and not just admiration to secure a successful bond. 'Dodo' indeed..

Casaubon's 'great work' sounds a lot like Joseph Campbell's The Masks of God.

I love watching the politics of the dinner table, as Sir James tries to vie for Dorothea's attentions, whilst remaining polite in the face of Mr Brooke's lightness of mind and the obvious impact Casaubon is having on Dodo.

Of all her protagonists, Dorothea Brooke's personality resembles the closest to George Eliot!
