Silas Marner, although it is a story written in the 1800s in a rudimentary society with backward concepts and inverted beliefs, it is still a story that readers can tell in a personal part of their life. . Isolation and rejection, salvation and forgiveness, all themes that arise whatever the period. Despite the fact that some characters struggle more than others with certain themes, this allows the audience to understand the author's goal. "Silas Marner is not unworthy of the reputation already acquired..." In the following review entitled "Athenaeum", the reviewer mainly evaluates the characterization and setting of the Silas Marner novel. From the first sentences, the critic begins to explode on the idea that it is astonishing that Eliot could create a novel in which there was an absence of any "exciting or painful interest", and yet the audience is still captivated by the truth of reality. expressed by the character's actions. They then expressed this by discussing how the characters were firmly drawn and "worked from the inside out", instead of just giving appearance. Making the exact observations while reading, I thought with similar ideas. Besides being impressed by how Eliot managed to entertain his readers without the classic "conflict resolution" layout that can most often be used to describe English literature, I also noticed how point the characters specifically seemed to have personal appeal. For example, characters like Silas and Dolly actually seemed "firm" and real, obviously seeming to come from the very being of the author herself. Then the reviewer makes an interesting point, before my reading, unseen. They explain how, in the context of the medium of paper, this is a near-perfect piece of work. The plot, a human problem, involved the influence of a child on a bitter, isolated and reclusive man who is apparently unhappy to say the least. He is physically weak, intellectually as close to no one as he could have been, and has lost a religion that was narrow from the start. All redeemed by this little child, or as Fairley puts it, the plot behind it. In my final and conclusive source, I used Robert B. Heilman, an American educator and critic who wrote extensively on English theater and fiction. He begins by not launching directly into criticism, but by describing how the book is considered along with other pieces by Eliot. It then transitions smoothly into the Silas Marner plot. He points out that in all of Eliot's novels there is the presence of ethical problems, "arising from his early evangelical training.”.
