Comparative analysis of Middlemarch and Emma in term of alma mater

This research interprets Middlemarch by George Eliot and Emma by Jane Austen from a feminist standpoint. In addition, the educational conditions under which these two works were written have been investigated. Through the protagonists, the chosen authors intend to reflect their perspectives on issues such as lack of education, discrimination against women, and economic conditions. This thesis also provides a detailed explanation of how both authors manage to present a different image of women, one that departs from the traditional stereotypes that tend to provide a close-up portrait of women in that era. They offer a ground-breaking interpretation of the definition of feminism and how women endured the appalling conditions of the time period. The ‘alma mater’ was a significant issue in Victorian society, and it persists in contemporary culture. Furthermore, the alma mater of women is neither a local nor a temporal issue.
