        <description><![CDATA[During this century villagers had a strong suspicion against anything and anyone they didn't understand or anyone who was different.  The superstitious villagers mistrusted all forms of strangers and strange information.   Therefore they were very suspicious of educaton or educated people.  It was much like living in a small town in this era.  If people don't know who you are, who your mother and father are, or what your linage was,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[By returning to Lantern Yard with the hope of showing Eppie were he used to live, Marner is able to finally get closure on his past life. Though he sought to find out if his name has ever been cleared, he finds instead that Lantern Yard is gone. He finally realizes that his past is gone and doesn't matter any more.

        <description><![CDATA[Marner's life changes as soon as he finds the little girl. earlier, his alienation, and isolation from the village community turned him into a miser, whose najor concern was money-making. I think, in light of this fact, that Eliot meant to say the probably the best solution for such a condition is human bondage. the little girl in one way or another, drew his attention from money into more important things. he now cares for her, and as a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Dolly Winthrop is a generous, kind, genuinely helpful woman.  When she gives Silas the advice to attend church especially because of the season, it is to help him become more social.  Dolly wants to make sure that Silas is bringing Eppie up in the proper way and she feels that going to church will help him in that aspect.  People had seen Silas as an outcast, a misfit, and that is never good for raising a child.  When one is at church,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[George Eliot does not explicitly state her reasons for writing &quot;Silas Marner;&quot; but by correlating external evidence (her journal entries for instance) with internal textual evidence we can hypothesize what her reasons would have been for writing the novel.1. Historical change: Although the novel was published in 1861 the events of the novel actally take place at the time of the Napoleonic wars (1810s): &quot;In the early years of...]]></description>

It chronicles the hardships and successes of the title character as his life is defined and redefined by circumstances some in his control others not.Eliot's publisher commented that the novel was very sad. &quot;Eliot replied that it was not a sad story because “it sets in a strong light the remedial influences of...]]></description>
