![]() ![]() Gwendolen and her family move to Offendene following the death of Gwendolen's stepfather her mother's sister and her family live nearby. We flash back to a year earlier to get the full story of how Gwendolen has gotten to this point. Gwendolen pawns her turquoise necklace in order to earn a little bit of money, but somebody buys the necklace and anonymously returns it to her. To make matters worse, not too long after that she gets a letter from her mom that says that their whole family has lost everything in a bad business deal and that she needs to come home immediately. She's been doing a great job gambling, but when she notices Daniel watching her, she suddenly loses all of her money. We find out that the girl's name is Gwendolen. He's trying to figure out whether or not she's pretty. A handsome young man named Daniel Deronda watches a young lady play roulette at a hotel casino in Leubronn, Germany. Daniel Deronda begins in medias res (that's fancy way of saying "in the middle of things") in September of 1865. ![]()
