Middlemarch
How narrow and prejudiced is my perspective when I observe the lives and struggles of others?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading this grand novel by George Eliot, I felt to the bone how hard it is to truly understand another person. Within the tangled web of ordinary people's ideals, frustrations, and entangled relationships, each lives by reasons all their own. The author condemns no one rashly, weaving the spiderweb of human affairs with a gaze of deep compassion. It is a book like a true textbook of human understanding, one that makes us see the struggle hidden behind another's flaws.
"We are all too easily trapped in the center of the small world within ourselves."George Eliot, Middlemarch
"우리는 모두, 우리 자신의 내면에 있는 작은 세계의 중심에 너무도 쉽게 갇혀버린다."
