George Eliot's "The Mill on the Floss" chronicles the upbringing of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, siblings, at Dorlcote Mill, close to St. Ogg's in England. Tom tries to pay off the bills after their father loses the mill owing to financial difficulties, while Maggie looks for intellectual and emotional fulfilment. More issues arise from Maggie's interactions with Stephen Guest and Philip Wakem. In the end, a devastating flood destroys the mill, and Maggie perishes while attempting to save Tom, illuminating their unbreakable love in spite of their difficulties. The book looks at issues like social expectations, family responsibilities, and individual desires.
