Aloof Big Brother: Tom is the beneficiary of Parental Favoritism, and frequently heaps scorn on his sister, but also enjoys her Big Brother Worship more than he cares to admit.Often cited as Eliot's most autobiographical novel. The siblings' complex and at times strained relationship is further complicated when the family fortunes waver and Maggie - ever disapproved of for her "unladylike" temperament and pursuit of knowledge - finds herself yearning for an affection which her adored but stern brother withholds, only to find a kindred spirit in Phillip Wakem, son of the man both Tom and their father Edward hold responsible for the latter's misfortunes. The Mill on the Floss is a novel by George Eliot, which charts the Coming of Age of Maggie and Tom Tulliver, two siblings living in a fictional hamlet in Lincolnshire.
