![]() I also don’t think that she marries Grandcourt because she is spoiled and doesn’t want to be a governess. Can you claim to be completely perfect and giving? She is also spirited and firm in her beliefs, never backing down. ![]() Yes, she is a bit spoiled, but then again a lot of people are. I think Gwendolen has gotten a bad rap, being defined wholly by her selfish side. RELATED | Check out the Romantic Moment of the Week: The Paradise’s Moray and Denise. Gwendolen never breaks under the weight of her circumstances and weakens to the point where she is willing to kill herself. That doesn’t sound like devotion to one’s religion to me. ![]() She claims to be faithful to her God but after life’s challenges is so weak as to go against his very wishes and try to snuff out the life He gave her. Mirah gives up from the very beginning, as when we first see her she is trying to commit suicide. Even after all of the abuse she endures during her marriage to Henleigh Grandcourt she still survives and her spirit is not broken. Gwendolen, on the other hand, is a much stronger character than Mirah. Daniel (Hugh Dancy), and Gwendolen (Romola Garai) in Daniel Deronda I believe this and his desire to get back to his Jewish roots are his reason for marrying Mirah rather than staying and fighting for Gwendolen as he should have done. I don’t think Daniel feels any grand passion for Mirah, but rather a responsibility towards her and the Jewish people living in England. She gains the sympathy of men and then they feel obligated towards her, as Daniel feels. I think she is a weak-willed character who is either crying or looking pitiful. In all honesty, I can’t stand the pairing of Daniel and Mirah. I would argue that Daniel and Gwendolen should have ended up together in the first place instead of him and Mirah Lapidoth. While they are definitely not the pairing people think of when they hear Daniel Deronda, I have chosen to highlight Daniel Deronda and Gwendolen Harleth as a couple this week. ![]() ![]() Spoilers THE BUILD UP – DANIEL AND GWENDOLEN THE MOMENT: When Gwendolen puts the necklace on her wrist to show Daniel that she loves him.
