Silas Marner is, of course, the title character of this book. A very dynamic character, throughout the novel he goes through several stages:
A weaver at work, much as Silas Marner would be in his lonely cottage. | |
The counting of coins: the only joy of Silas's days for many years after his unfounded murder conviction. | |
With the arrival of his adopted daughter, Silas finally finds happiness and meaning in his life. |
List of Weaving Guilds in North America and Beyond | Since he is a weaver, this site would be of interest to Silas. |
Personal Valuables Insurance | Maybe if Silas had had this insurance, losing his gold would not have affected him as much. |
The Adopt Shoppe | This shop specializes in merchandise for adoptive families such as Silas and Eppie |
Rights of the Falsely Accused | This site lists many options for those falsely accused of a crime, as Silas was in his town of birth. |
Finding Religion in Christianity | Silas had changing views towards religion throughout his life; perhaps this site could have helped him out. |
