The Construction and Re-construction of Female Beauty in <em>The Mill on the Floss </em>

<p>The essay investigates the construction and reconstruction of feminine beauty in Eliot’s <em>The Mill on the Floss</em> where the heroine Maggie functions as a way of illustrating both beauty and ugliness. Maggie’s “unrefined” appearance as well as her beauty is furthermore highlighted through a strong comparison with other characters, which also is a significant aspect in the essay. The analysis is based on a critical approach informed by previous studies regarding the various aspects of female beauty.  </p>
