身為一位現實主義作家，喬治．艾略特以對寫實的堅持及心理洞察力而著稱。本論文旨在探討《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》中作者對人物心理層面的論述。第一章從三個方面對艾略特創新的心理寫實技巧運用進行研究：人物心理轉折為情節發展的內在主線的表現手法、人類複雜多變的心理狀態的描繪、以及自由間接話語的使用。第二章著重於艾略特如何用心理寫實來展現社會環境對角色個性塑造的影響及此技巧如何強化《弗洛斯河上的磨坊》中個人與社會關係的主題。第三章討論艾略特的同情概念及其於小說中的道德議題的應用。艾略特認為同理心乃真正的道德，因此利用心理寫實技巧揭露人物的內心世界以激起讀者對角色的同情並將其延伸自全人類同胞。艾略特的心理寫實運用不只帶領讀者探索了人類心靈的未知領域，並且大大發展了文學小說表現人物內心世界的能力。

As a realistic novelist, George Eliot is remarkable for her insistence on truthfulness and her psychological perspicacity. This thesis aims to investigate Eliot’s treatment of the psychological aspects in The Mill on the Floss. With the examination of textual evidences, the first chapter carries out the research on Eliot’s innovative use of psychological realism from three aspects: the manifestation of metal alternation as the inherent key plot, the representation of the complexity of mental movement, and the use of free indirect discourse. Chapter Two centers on how Eliot utilizes psychological realistic techniques to display the influence of social milieu on characters’ personalities and to reinforce the theme of the individual-society relations in The Mill on the Floss. Chapter Three discusses Eliot’s conception of sympathy and its application to the moral issues in The Mill on the Floss. Eliot thinks that sympathy is the true morality, making psychological realism the access to the characters’ internal worlds to achieve her artistic intention of arousing readers’ sympathy for the fictional characters as well as our fellow human beings. Eliot’s employment of psychological realism not only explores the unmapped territory of the human mind but also makes a great progress in the manifestation of characters’ inner world in the history of novel.
