Brother Jacob: George Eliot's Exploration of Sibling Relationships unravels the themes of ambition, deception, and moral introspection in this thought-provoking novella. Following the journey of David Faux, a young man who dreams of a prosperous future, the story explores his internal struggles as he attempts to escape his humble origins through cunning and self-interest. However, his plans take an unexpected turn when his intellectually disabled brother, Jacob, unknowingly influences his fate in ways he never anticipated.
