Period Victorian
      Mary Ann Evans was born in Mandarin,England.She was the third child of Robert Evans and daughter of a local mill-owner.Many Ann's name was sometimes shortened to Marian.Her full siblings were Christiana, know as chrissey,and twin brothers who died a few days.She also had a half brother,Robert and half-sister Fanny from her father's previous marriage to Harriet poynton.Her father Robert Evans was manager of the Arbury Hall.
          The young Evans was a voracious reader and obviously intelligent Because she was not considered physically beautiful,Evans was not thought to have much chance of marriage and this coupled with her intelligence led her father to invest in an education not often afforded women.
Character of Dorothea.
          Charming and beautiful.
                              Dorothea is a young and fascinating lady who lives with her Yyounger sister Celia at Tipton Grange,near middle match,the home of Mr,Arthur Brooke,their uncle and guardian.Her physical beginning of the novel.We are told,"Miss Brooke had that kind of beauty which seems to be thrown into relief by poor dress.Her hand wrist were so finely formed that she could wear sleeves not less bare of style than those in which the blessed virgin appeared to Italian painters and her profile as well as her stature and bearing seemed to again more dignity from her plain garments,which by the side of provincial fashion gave her the impressiveness of a fine situation from the Bible or from one of our elder poets in a paragraph of today's news paper
Comparison with Celia.
        Celia the simpler nature,with her perfectly normal and unconcealed wish to wear splendid jewellery,is more  objective of by contrast the more obscure character of Dorothea.It would be wrong to think of Dorothea as entirely remote from mundane concerns.She is very anxious ,once she has to agreed to marry Casaubon to get the people will housed in Lowick.
Edward Casaubon.
  Edward Casaubon is a prosperous country squire in addition to  Being a clear.At the time of the opening of the story, he is fifty years old.He means Lowick manor,his residence and the estate round it.In personal appearance he is far from handsome.He is rather ugly and his physical unpleasantness is stressed from the very beginning Celia points to his shallow complexion sunken eyes and "two white moles with hair on them "She comments, " how very ugly Mr.Casaubon is"
    He is not a scholar in the real sense but a pedant,a dried up and lifeless book worm.The first hint that he is not a genuine scholar,but a mere pedant is given to us ,as early as whole carpeted 3 .The portrait of Mr Casaubon is a sympathetic one.His futile researches into comparative mythology are viewed in the context of contemporary interest in the of this particular branch of pseudolearning and research.

Rosamond Vincy.
         Rosamond Vincy is the daughter of Walter Vincy,a prosperous business man and Mayor of Middle March.She is younger and beautiful is generally admired by the people of Middle March.She is ambitious to rise to the peerage from the crude and vulgar middle class in which she is born and she can realize her ambition only through marriage.She goes about realising her ambitions  with a pitiless determination and single mindedness.It is her ambitions .She is stupid self-centered,but she is young and fascinating and it is her physical charms that have been stressed from the very beginning.

Lydgate.
     He is an aspiring young scientist who come to middle March which he is about 28 years old with the intention of realising his intellectual aspirations in the calm and secluded provincial society.He is an intellectual aspirations in the calm and secluded provincial society.He is an intellectual with a passion for research and scientific study.He takes to the profession is a doctor because he feels that as a doctor he can satisfy his intellectual aspirations as well as do great good to society.But Lydgate is no ideal dreamer like Casaubon.

Arthur Brook
        Broke was Dorothea and Celia's bachelor uncle.He is a bumbling man who  can never stick to an opinion,always wanting to please everyone,always wanting to please Everyone.He hires will Laidlaw to write for his paper,the pioneer.He runs for a sent in Parliament on the reform platform but he lets his own tenants live in poverty and squalor
Will Laidlaw
        Younger will Laidlaw is a cousin of Casaubon who has been his patron and has been supporting him financially.He himself gives an account of his family history to Dorothea.Later in the  novel we know more about his parentage,and that the wealthy of Bulstrode really belonged to him.He is a painter by profession and we are first introduced to him painting on the lawns of Lowick manor and Dorothea is at once interested in him.
   Laidlaw has come in for a good deal of criticism at the hand of critics.It has been said that like Stephen Guest in mill on the floss he has not been fully realised.
Mary Garth
  Mary Garth is the young daughter of Caleb Garth,plain looking but attractive all the same.She has a clever tongue and a merry sense of humour.She is loved both by Fred Vincy and Mr, farebrother who gives up his claim to her in favour of fred.
