<1> George Eliot's "The Mill on the Floss" (1860) tells the moral growth of women and clearly emphasizes how sex influences her choices. The Mill on Floss celebrates the empathy of Maggie Tulliver and expresses that this sympathy is often inconsistent with the normative norm of society, especially the severe norms dealing with women. George Eliot 's interest in how femininity is structured and considerate tells her not only about Maggie' s depiction, but also about the depiction of all the female characters in the novel. In other words, she shows women's expectation for compassion and determines their identity and scope of action. Especially, Maggie's cousin Lucy Dean seems to represent traditional femininity. Joey Eliot and Lucy discuss the inherent tension in the Victorian femininity. Lucy's normative femininity complicates the criticism of George Eliot's dual system
