Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Daniel Deronda (1876), George Eliot's final novel, explores highly unusual territory for Victorian fiction: the title character, raised as a Christian, discovers and embraces his Jewish heritage. The novel has two main plots. In one, Daniel Deronda transforms from a serious but rootless young man, convinced that he is the illegitimate son of his guardian, Sir Hugo Mallinger, into a man of purpose, committed to the welfare of the Jewish people. He is inspired along the way by Mirah Lapidoth, an innocent Jewish singer whom he rescues from an attempted suicide, and by Mordecai, a Jewish mystic. In the other plot, the lovely but chilly (and self-involved) Gwendolen Harleth rescues her family from ruin by marrying the sadistic Mr. Grandcourt—even though she knows perfectly well that Grandcourt has fathered two children with his mistress, Lydia Glasher. As the novel progresses and Gwendolen sinks further and further into despair, she desperately turns to Daniel for moral support.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The novel was adapted a number of times: a short film titled Gwendolin in 1914, a British silent film in 1921, and twice as a television drama: in 1971 and in 2002.

All Jews Are Ashkenazi

All Jews Are Ashkenazi: averted at least in the case of Daniel himself, who is probably Sephardi in heritage. Herr Klesmer is probably Ashkenazi, and Mirah and Mordecai could very well be either.

Ambition Is Evil: Alcharisi, who wants to pursue her successful theatrical career, gives up her son to do it; when she thinks her voice has been wrecked, she makes an aristocratic marriage. The result: misery and an agonizing death from cancer. Mirah Lapidoth, however, enjoys singing, but she loathes public performance. The result: she is reunited with her brother, freed from her horrible father, and married to Daniel.
