Map of interpersonal relationships in the book Middlemarch
No man, one sees, can understand and estimate the entire structure or its parts -- what are its frailties and what its repairs, without knowing the nature of the materials.
Most of the sense of crisis and midlife is occasioned by the pain of that split. The disparity between the inner sense of self and the acquired personality becomes so great that the suffering can no longer be suppressed or compensated... The person continues to operate out of the old attitudes and strategies, but they are no longer effective. Symptoms of midlife distress are in fact to be welcomed, for they represent not only an instinctually grounded self underneath the acquired personality but a powerful imperative for renewal...In effect, the person one has been to be replaced by the person to be. The first must die...Such death and rebirth is not an end in itself; it is a passage. It is necessary to go through the Middle Passage to more clearly achieve one's potential and to earn the vitality and wisdom of mature aging. Thus, the Middle Passage represents a summons from within to move from the provisional life to true adulthood, from the false self to authenticity.
