Silas Marner

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.

How much like Silas Marner are you?

I like to hoard gold

I weave blankets in my spare time

I adopt small children who turn up at my fire place

I was falsely accused of murder

I have strange periods of blankness in my life

My dearest belonging was stolen from me

I live in a cottage

How many boxes did you check?
