ok just watched this for the third time and....
doesnt it seem that george eliot (sp) based a good amount of her book on the story of moses? i cant believe i didnt catch it sooner when i watched the movie (havent yet picked up the book). daniel much like moses, had assimilated in the wealthy social class and didnt know his roots to when he had grown up. moses is in a relationship with an upperclass woman, and so is daniel at the beginning. both end up deciding to stay with women from similar roots and go to the promise land at the end. i feel like a total dumbass for not catching this sooner! would this make the novel a modernist piece of literature? i have forgotten a good amount of the literary terms i learned in highschool and in my second year of college :(
