This paper discusses Mrs Transome`s life from a feminist perspective. At first, Mrs Transome`s life is posed not as a personal tragedy, but as women`s question of the Victorian high-class women through Mrs Transome`s marriage by the economic factor, her unhappy marriage life, her affair to Jermyn, and her endless fear and suffering of the past sin. Besides, her tragic life is related to the criticism of the governing class (including middle-class and gentry-class) through the patriarchal attitude of Jermyn and Harold, and their sexual ideology which separated men`s sphere from women`s sphere. Especially the objective description of her suffering, her rage to man, and her strong feminist statements, invokes readers` sympathy and pity with Eliot`s penetrating insight Secondly, Mrs Transome`s unhappy life influences Esther`s choice by making Esther choose Felix rather than Harold, as "a last vision" through Mrs Transome`s life makes Esther see her future to live if she would marry Harold. Consequently I confirm an assumption that women`s question is portrayed well in the moral plot evaluated as a successful part in this novel, too.
