Daniel Deronda:
Can anyone tell me what this means from Daniel Deronda please - about Gwendolen in Chapter 45?
“She would have been obliged to allow, if any one had said it to her, that what she submitted to could not take the shape of duty, but was submission to a yoke drawn on her by an action she was ashamed of, and worn with a strength of selfish motives that left no weight for duty to carry.”
