EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful engraving by Walter James Allen, we see Mr. Tulliver commanding his son Tom to write a scathing condemnation of lawyer Wakem in the front of the family Bible. The tension and conflict between father and son is palpable as Tom reluctantly carries out his father's wishes.
The image captures a moment of intense emotion and familial strife, highlighting the complexities of relationships within the Tulliver family. Mr. Tulliver's bitterness towards Wakem is evident, as he uses the sacred text of the Bible to express his disdain for the lawyer who has caused him so much trouble.
As Tom obediently follows his father's orders, we can sense his inner turmoil and conflicting loyalties. The engraving beautifully conveys the weight of tradition and duty that binds this family together, even as it threatens to tear them apart.
Through Allen's skilled illustration, we are transported into George Eliot's world of "The Mill on the Floss," where personal vendettas and societal expectations collide with devastating consequences. This timeless depiction serves as a poignant reminder of the power dynamics at play within families, as well as the enduring impact of past grievances on future generations.
