The Vision of Judgment (1822) is a satirical poem in ottava rima by Lord Byron, which depicts a dispute in Heaven over the fate of George III's soul. It was written in response to the Poet Laureate Robert Southey's A Vision of Judgement (1821), which had imagined the soul of king George triumphantly entering Heaven to receive his due. Byron was provoked by the High Tory point of view from which the poem was written, and he took personally Southey's preface which had attacked those "Men of diseased hearts and depraved imaginations" who had set up a "Satanic school" of poetry, "characterized by a Satanic spirit of pride and audacious impiety". He responded in the preface to his own Vision of Judgment with an attack on "The gross flattery, the dull impudence, the renegado intolerance, and impious cant, of the poem", and mischievously referred to Southey as "the author of Wat Tyler", an anti-royalist work from Southey's firebrand revolutionary youth. His parody of A Vision of Judgement was so lastingly successful that, as the critic Geoffrey Carnall wrote, "Southey's reputation has never recovered from Byron's ridicule."

The story is narrated in flashback by Achakka, a wise woman in the village. She, like her female audience (whom she addresses as “sisters”), has survived the turbulence of social and political change which was induced by Mohandas K. Gandhi’s passive resistance against the British government. Achakka provides a detailed picture of the rural setting, establishing both an ambiance and a rhythm for the novel. It is clear that her speech and idiomatic expression are meant to express a distinctively feminine viewpoint an extraordinary achievement for a male Indo-English novelist. Achakka quickly creates a faithful image of an Indian way of life, circumscribed by tradition and indebted to its deities, of whom Kenchamma, the great and bounteous goddess, is made the village protectress. She is invoked in every chapter, for the characters never forget that her power resides in her past action. It is she who humanizes the villagers, and their chants and prayers ring out from time to time.

The narrator establishes the parameters of the story within old and new legends. While Kenchamma and Siva are remembered for their marvelous feats and interventions in human affairs, analogies are sometimes drawn with contemporary figures such as Gandhi who serve to turn fact and history into folklore, and who provide the motive for political struggle. At the beginning, while there are simply rumors of Gandhi’s activities, the villagers follow their customary routines. Then, Moorthy, a young, dedicated Brahmin, inspired by Gandhi, returns to Kanthapura to propagandize the cause of the Indian National Congress and Gandhi’s satyagraha (truth-force) movement. The colonial masters (nicknamed “Red-men” for their ruddy complexions) are a palpable, tyrannical presence but are sensed only obliquely at the beginning via the mysterious passing policeman who is treated as a spy and who, consequently, seeks refuge on the Skeffington Coffee Estate run by a brutal gang-boss.

The correct answer is 'The limitations of marriage for women.'

Key Points

• "Middlemarch," by George Eliot, uses the character of Dorothea Brooke to deeply explore the theme of the limitations of marriage for women during the 19th century, particularly in the context of personal growth, autonomy, and fulfillment.

Dorothea's disillusionment in this marriage highlights the mismatch between her aspirations and the reality of her role as a wife.
• Through Dorothea's journey, Eliot critiques the societal norms that limit women's opportunities for intellectual and emotional growth, urging readers to reflect on the potential contributions women could make if not shackled by restrictive marriages.
• Dorothea's character arc, including her eventual remarrying to Will Ladislaw, serves not only as a personal quest for fulfillment but also as a broader commentary on the necessity for societal change to allow women to live fulfilling, autonomous lives.
• Eliot's nuanced portrayal of Dorothea Brooke elevates "Middlemarch" beyond a simple narrative, using her struggle and development to examine larger questions about gender roles, the institution of marriage, and the quest for personal identity.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect because while social class plays a significant role in "Middlemarch," it is not the primary theme explored through Dorothea Brooke.
• Option 2: Incorrect as the pursuit of knowledge is a theme in the novel, but it more closely relates to other characters, such as Mr. Casaubon, than to Dorothea's primary narrative arc.
