Adam Bede

A pure-hearted English carpenter, Adam Bede is an unlikely match for the vain and selfish Hetty Sorrel. He pursues her anyway, even as she is seduced by haughty Lord Arthur. Things change when Adam meets minister Dinah Morris and finds a moral and intellectual equal like he has never known.
