'Grandcourt saw it and saw that it was attracting Deronda’s notice.'

Grayscale illustration of a woman in a formal gown sitting and holding a glass next to two men standing and wearing formal suits.

Gwendolen in a formal gown, holds a glass of water which Deronda has given her, while her husband Grandcourt stands off to the side. Deronda stares at the jewelry Gwendolen wears, and Grandcourt watches with annoyance. This moment captures Grandcourt’s authoritative and controlling nature, especially over his wife. Additionally, Deronda is growing more aware of Gwendolen’s distress, signaling a future connection (Book 5, Chapter 36).
