There is a recurring theme of wishing to elicit desire from others, just for thrill of power one gets from denying them. Gwendolyn wants men to desire her just so that she has the power to reject them. Mr.Grandcourt wants his uncle to desire his home just so that he has the power to reject his offer to buy it. This book is saying something about the sense of identity that comes from being the one to deny others

"She was now convinced that he meant to distinguish her, that he meant to mark his admiration in a noticeable way; and it began to appear probable that she would have it in her power to reject him, whence there was a pleasure in reckoning up the advantages which would make her rejection splendid, and in giving Mr. Grandcourt his utmost value."-p.129.

Poor Rex. Gwendolyn is definitely a bit of a cunt to let all these dudes orbit her just to freaking yell at them when they admit their feelings. It's def very cruel that she enjoys knowing men are in love with her and lets them hang around like that.

Gwendolyn is a delightfully flawed main character. The entire book so far is a wonderfully nuanced character study

"Since she was not winning strikingly, the next best thing was to lose strikingly."-I feel this XD
So we have our intro to our main characters in this chapter. Gwendolyn is interesting and Deronda is...annoying. This is a criticism of the fictional man, not the writing. Some books call for annoying shithead characters. And wow, even in this brief introduction, does this dude strike me as a shithead.
