After María Luisa O’Neill-Morales-Malú for short-and her divorced mother move from Florida to Chicago, the 12-year-old struggles with having her music-loving father so far away and with living up to a mother she has nicknamed SuperMexican.

The contrasting feelings for Dinah are more real because of being drawn in not only by beauty, but more importantly, by her inner character. Adam, however, wrongly assumes she is a good person because of her appearance. This is made clear with Hetty’s lack of individual goodness she is the more physically beautiful and those around her are often fooled or blinded by her appealing looks-Hetty’s true personality is that of inner ugliness. Eliot contrasts the inner and outer beauty of the characters by portraying that external beauty may be more recognizable and superficially preferred to inner beauty, but it obviously is not the most desirable. Throughout the Adam Bede novel, assessments against another person’s negative actions are a condemning aim of the novel, e.g., Adam is at times able to see his own failings but is frustrated in attempts to correct them.

In one such article, titled ‘Nationalism and Socialism’, published in 1897, he called for a republic that would be a “beacon-light to the oppressed of every land”.
