George Eliot undertakes the task of redefining the essence of duty as a unifying force of social cohesion, hich is one of themajor intellectual efforts against the general fear of so- cial dissolution. H er sharp perception of the idea of duty ismainly evident in the major conflicts in her novels, in the struggle and choice of her characters, and in her use of such related notions as neighbor, hom e, society and passion. Duty in her novels and other ritings forms a distinct trend in the discussion of duty among her contemporaries, hich cannot be separated from her re- ligious experience and her a areness of the role of a novelist.
