 §31. "Daniel Deronda". XI. The Political And Social Novel. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, Part One. The Cambridge ...
A secret which makes Gwendolen pause on the brink of acceptance causes her to go abroad to escape Grandcourt (who follows her very slowly) and to be brought face to face with Daniel Deronda.
The attempt to constitute this Semitic mystery an organic part of the story of Gwendolen and her experiences, which culminate in her unhappy marriage with Grandcourt and his tragic death, cannot be deemed successful.
After she has grown accustomed to rely absolutely on nothing but Deronda and his “Bouddhalike” altruism, she finds herself, at last, as her woman’s nature cries out in a moment of despair, “forsaken” by him, so that he may fulfil his destiny, which includes his marriage with Mirah.

 Sophie Cunningham: Daniel Deronda
Daniel Deronda (ABC, 8.35pm, Tomorrow night) reminds us that the English-speaking world has, in a massive act of denial, tried to cover up the how anti-Semitic England was before WW2.
Daniel Deronda is an odd story in which major characters and plot lines are introduced by the strangest of happenstance.
In a way the structure of the story is biblical, with many events having a symbolic power that overcomes the lack of narrative logic - such as when Daniel Deronda scoops a young stranger, Mirah Lapidoth (Jodhi May), from the river before she drowns herself.

Daniel Deronda is a psychologically incisive investigation, probing the egoism of a spoiled girl and her increasing awareness of conscience through suffering.
The upper-class Victorian society in which she moves is juxtaposed with that of the hero, Daniel Deronda, whose influence is a redemptive force.
Daniel Deronda is a novel which intertwines several strands - the courtship of naive and selfish Gwendolen to the well-positioned but cold Grandcourt; the lost daughter Mirah, saved from drowning by Daniel Deronda, himself forced to think about his lost parents by a dying Jewish mystic, Mordecai.

 George Eliot - Daniel Deronda - complete book for free! - chapter 1
Deronda's first thought when his eyes fell on this scene of dull, gas- poisoned absorption, was that the gambling of Spanish shepherd-boys had seemed to him more enviable:--so far Rousseau might be justified in maintaining that art and science had done a poor service to mankind.
The inward debate which she raised in Deronda gave to his eyes a growing expression of scrutiny, tending farther and farther away from the glow of mingled undefined sensibilities forming admiration.
At one moment they followed the movements of the figure, of the arms and hands, as this problematic sylph bent forward to deposit her stake with an air of firm choice; and the next they returned to the face which, at present unaffected by beholders, was directed steadily toward the game.

 Daniel Deronda (16)
Daniel had not only one of those thrilling boy voices which seem to bring an idyllic heaven and earth before our eyes, but a fine musical instinct, and had early made out accompaniments for himself on the piano, while he sang from memory.
Deronda was content, and gave Meyrick all the interest he claimed, getting at last a brotherly anxiety about him, looking after him in his erratic moments, and contriving by adroitly delicate devices not only to make up for his friend’s lack of pence, but to save him from threatening chances.
Deronda would not admit that he cared about the risk, and he had already been beguiled into a little indifference by double sympathy: he was very anxious that Hans should not miss the much-needed scholarship, and he felt a revival of interest in the old studies.

This is the case with George Eliot's last and most ambitious novel, Daniel Deronda.
Daniel Deronda is a very long book-what Henry James would refer to as a "baggy monster." It is full of moral speechifying and erudite detail and has a convoluted plot replete with melodramatic deaths and wonderful recoveries and coincidences.
Daniel Deronda is an impeccable English gentleman who discovers midway through the action that he was born a Jew.

I quite agree with you as to Deronda's going in for the Jews and turning out a Jew himself being a fine subject, and this quite apart from the fact of whether such a thing as a Jewish revival be at all a possibility.
Deronda is in a manner an ideal character, if you will, but he seems to me triumphantly married to reality.
She was not afraid of Deronda when, immediately after her marriage and without any but the most casual acquaintance with him, she begins to hover about him at the Mallingers' and to drop little confidences about her conjugal woes.

George Eliot's final novel, Daniel Deronda (1876), follows the intertwining lives of the beautiful but spoiled and selfish Gwendolene Harleth and the selfless yet alienated Daniel Deronda, as they search for personal and vocational fulfilment and sympathetic relationship.
Set largely in the degenerate English aristocratic society of the 1860s, Daniel Deronda charts their search for meaningful lives against a background of imperialism, the oppression of women, and racial and religious prejudice.
Gwendolen's attempts to escape a sadistic relationship and atone for past actions catalyse her friendship with Deronda, while his search for origins leads him, via Judaism, to a quest for moral growth.

 Daniel Deronda | Progressive U
It seems to me that Daniel was dead set on marrying Gwendolyn once she left Grandcourt to begin with, but in the end he went for Mirah I think most simply because Mirah would support his whim to go to the East and learn more about his heritage.
With Gwendolyn he would have had a very high position in society, and I think the two of them would have been truly happy together, but as one can see in the book, Daniel was always longing for some wreched project to take on as some sort of obsessive motivation.
It wasn't like Daniel settling for Mirah because she would be the perfect Jewish wife to take to the East and it wasn't like Gwendolyn marrying someone she didn't love in order to have wealth.

 Textbookx.com - Daniel Deronda by George Eliot at TextbookX.com
Daniel Deronda opens with one of the most memorable encounters in fiction: Gwendolen Harleth, alluring yet unsettling, is poised at the roulette-table in Leubronn, observed by Daniel Deronda, a young man groomed in the finest tradition of the English upper classes, and now searching for his path in life.
While Gwendolen becomes trapped in an oppressive marriage, a series of dramatic encounters draws Deronda into ever deeper sympathy with Jewish aspirations to cultural and natural identity.
Remote as Gwendolen's country-house world may seem from the world of Mirah, the lost daughter, and Mordecai, the visionary, George Eliot weaves these strands of her plot intimately together, daring the readers of Adam Bede and Middlemarch to open their eyes to areas of experience wholly new to the Victorian novel.
