ANS:The Mills On The Floss:A novel (1860) by George Eliot. It

is mainly about the relationship between a brother and sister, Tom and
Maggie Tulliver, who live in a mill (a building where grain is ground into
flour) on the river Floss. It describes their childhood and a dispute that
causes them to separate. The book ends with them happily together
again but they are both killed in a flood
THEMES IN THE MILL ON THE FLOSS:

Following are the major themes in The mill on the floss
1: Memory and Childhood: Although Mill on the Floss
covers nearly fifteen years in the lives of its main characters, siblings
Tom and Maggie Tulliver, the story continues throughout their
childhood. In the novel, seemingly trivial events in the early years gain
new significance. Maggie's conflict with Tom and his desire for her love
and acceptance, is a thread that dates back to her early life at Doralcott
Mill, during her school days, and into her troubled youth. to be
continued. Similarly, there is a long life after old grievances. For
example, after the recollection of their humiliation at the hands of Mr.
Tulliver, Tom and Maggie's father, Mr. Wickham (the lawyer who
assisted in the loss of the mill) becomes a force to be reckoned with. In
Mill on the Floss, childhood memories can provide valuable relief
against the harsh realities of youth, but they can also create a long-
distance cycle of stagnation and distress.
2:The Importance of Sympathy: Mill on the Floss is not a
religious novel, but it has a lot to do with ethics that should run among
all people and seek a sympathetic relationship with others through
empathy. The example of St. Ogg is undoubtedly the reciprocation of
the ferryman's sympathy for the other, and Maggie confirms this in the
last amusement of the St. Ogg scene during the flood, based on her
deep sympathy for others. Contrary to this sympathy, the novel takes
the form of different forms of egoism. Tom has no ability to sympathize
with Maggie: Tom explained to Mr. Dean that he cared about his
position, and Mr. Dean praised him, saying, Never refused to help
anyone. If they wanted to do justice to themselves.
3:LOVE: Love goes hand in hand with suffering, which is the

equivalent of a course in Mill on the Floss. Here everything comes
together with pain. Love in particular hurts people, and it's always a
matter of choice. Characters especially Maggie always have to choose
between love for her family, romantic love, love for others, love for
herself. Love is also a matter of time. - Someone who loves first, loves
the most, and loves the best is always a problem. Maggie in particular is
eaten with the need for love in all its forms. Love is everything to
Maggie.
4:Society Effect On Individual: The destiny of the eliote's

main characters is never determined by society's determinants - for
example, Maggie's tragedy begins with her internal rivalries, not her
public notoriety. Yet, Elliott is concerned with both social and economic
society and sees his impact on their relationships and character as part
of his realism. Mill on the Floss sets out the geography of cities and land
acquisitions. A wide cast of characters aims to outline different sections
of society, such as Dodson, or Miss Guests, through their shared values,
economic position, and social circles.
5: Compassion and forgiveness:It's hard to be sympathetic to
The Mill on Floss. Most characters seem to be more prone to suspicion,
conspiracy theories, prejudice, and rumors. Other people's feelings are
often overlooked. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the
average person. Smpathy and the ability to forgive others have strong
qualities. And many characters rationalize their lack of compassion and
forgiveness. For example, Tom sees his loyalty to his father as a good
reason to maintain hatred against Wakems. However, Smpathy and
forgiveness are presented as fighting qualities.
6:Trouble
Grief, especially of an emotional nature, seems to have a universal
persistence in The Mill on Floss. Not everyone is expected to suffer,
even some of them are welcome. Maggie and her nefarious tendencies,
or the tendency to seek and even embrace her own suffering, come to
mind. Since everyone in this book suffers, what sets people apart is
how they cope with adversity, their own and others' suffering.

The Native:The Native: Following are the major themes in the
novel the return of the native
1:Fate and Freewill: Takes center stage in this novel. When we
return to our homeland, we are repeatedly told that the free will is
gone. People seem to take part in a very old story here, and events and
nature constantly plot against people. Still choose the characters.
Unfortunately for them, these choices usually make things even worse
and seem to have no effect against the major forces at work in the
novel.
Free will is not so absent because it is ineffective and ineffective in this
novel. No one makes very good decisions and the decisions they make
are probably due to some degree of superiority. And what is this
power? Maybe it's the weight of the past, maybe it's human nature
itself, or maybe it's health or God. This novel never fully explains what
destiny is, but there is a strong sense that our characters are reliving
events that are largely out of their control and have little effect on
either their own choice.
2: Tradition
One of the controversies between the novels is that the traditional
attitudes of the Darset and its successors in the modern world are
declining. Hardy's work often highlights the declining traditions and
ideas of his age, and there are many examples where tradition and
folklore are characterized. Part of the novel's appeal is that it records
the tradition of the dying.
For example, Diggory Van's trade as a Riddleman represents a dying
skill in the region.
3: Illegal destiny
Destiny is a central theme in most of Thomas Hardy's fiction. From the
very beginning of the novel, describing Egden Heath as a lasting,
ancient setting suggests that Hardy sees human characters as
indifferent, perhaps even hostile, playing against the background. In a
depressing moment, Estasia thinks of death if the "satire of heaven"
should last longer. He committed suicide just before he did any harm to
heaven, yet he lamented the bitterness and injustice of his fate.
4: Marrige as a trap:
In repatriation, marriage is presented with a bunch of materialistic and
psychological forces that threaten to end it as a healthy or legitimate
human relationship. Social injustice rejects Mrs. Yeo bright's opposition
to the marriage between her niece Thomasain and Reddaleman
Diggory. In his view, reddleman is a social inferiority whose strange
form definitely excludes him from marital union or relationship
But according to Hardy's picture, the institution of marriage has also
been hit by other powerful forces. For example, the fight against
arrogance. Wildeve and Eustacia are the main contenders here, each
measuring their partner's attractiveness and ability to see how
attractive they are to other contenders.
5:Language and communication:

The Return of the Native begins with some seriously old-fashioned
communication techniques: signal fires. The communication strategy of
choice for desert island castaways (like in Pirates of the Caribbean) and
Middle-earth denizens trying to rally the troops (think The Return of
the King). So what's with the use of signal fires in The Return of the
Native? There's nothing epic going on as far as we can tell. Well, kicking
off the book with signal fires and practically no dialogue for the first few
chapters really helps to set the tone for the rest of it, which is often
light on dialogue as well. Communication, when it occurs at all, is often
unspoken and is heavily reliant on actions, interpretations, silences, and
symbols. Objects often speak louder than actions and words here.
