Explain how George Eliot engages with the ‘woman question’ in Middlemarch. 

George Eliot’s *Middlemarch* is a rich tapestry of social commentary and personal exploration, with one of its central concerns being the ‘woman question.’ Through the novel’s multifaceted narrative, Eliot engages with this issue by examining the roles, limitations, and potential of women in the early 19th century. Her exploration is woven into the lives of her characters, reflecting on the constraints imposed by society and the possibilities for women to transcend these limitations.

1. Exploration of Female Roles and Constraints

Eliot’s portrayal of women in *Middlemarch* reveals the restrictive roles that society imposes upon them. The novel presents various female characters, each embodying different aspects of the 'woman question.' Dorothea Brooke, the novel's central character, is a key figure in this exploration. Her initial idealism and aspirations to contribute meaningfully to society are thwarted by the societal expectations placed upon her. _________ ________ ___ _________ ________ __________ ________ _____.
