    George Eliot is a verbose writer, and is exceedingly descriptive when it comes to her characters in The Mill on the Floss.

It was because of Maggie’s all consuming familial love for her brother Tom, platonic love for Philip, and

    The Mill on the Floss was unlike any production I’ve ever seen. Over and over again, different production choices made me raise an eyebrow, but after chewing on them, those deliberate decisions made sense.

This could be seen in numerous places throughout the play: when cousin Lucy was portrayed as a doll, when Maggie was portrayed

    fascinated in what we had to say and show them. It was shocking how few of these children knew how to properly floss and teaching them how to was definitely a challenge. Most of the kids were unable to grip the floss with both of their tiny hands but it was admirable how much determination they had despite their struggles, and it showed how much they really wanted to learn how to floss. Even though most of the children were actively participating, there were some who were very shy and too timid to
