Plot summary
The novel is set in the early years of the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]. Silas Marner is a
member of a small [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] congregation in
Lantern Yard, a slum street in an un-named city in [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط]. He is falsely accused of stealing the
congregation's funds while sitting with a very ill elder of the group.
Two clues are given against him: a pocket-knife and the discovery of the
bag formerly containing the money in his own house. Silas says that he
last used the knife to cut some string for his friend William, who leads
the campaign against him. Silas is proclaimed [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط] and the woman he was to marry casts him
off, and later marries William. With his life shattered and his heart
broken, he leaves Lantern Yard and the city.
Marner heads south to the [ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذا الرابط], and settles near the village of Raveloe, where
he lives as a recluse, existing only for work and the gold he has
hoarded from his earnings. When it is stolen by Dunstan ('Dunsey') Cass,
a dissolute younger son of Squire Cass, the town's leading landowner,
Silas sinks into a deep gloom, despite the villagers' attempts to aid
him. Dunsey disappears, but little is made of this not unusual
behaviour, and no association is made between him and the theft.
Godfrey Cass, Dunsey's elder brother, also harbours a secret. He is
married to, but estranged from, Molly, an opium-addicted woman of low
birth. This secret threatens to destroy Godfrey's blooming relationship
with Nancy, a young woman of more appropriate social and moral standing.
On a winter's night, Molly tries to make her way into town with her two
year old child to prove that she is Godfrey's wife and ruin him. On the
way she takes opium, becomes disoriented and sits down to rest in the
snow, child in arm. Her child wanders from her mother's still body into
Silas' house. Upon discovering the child, Silas follows her tracks in
the snow and discovers the woman dead. Godfrey also arrives at the
scene, but resolves to tell no-one about his now-widowed status.
Silas decides to keep the child and names her Eppie, after his
deceased mother and sister, Hephzibah. Eppie changes his life
completely. Symbolically, Silas loses his material gold to theft only to
have it replaced by the golden-haired Eppie. Godfrey Cass is now free
to marry Nancy, but continues to conceal the existence of his first
marriage - and child - from her.
Sixteen years pass, and Eppie grows up to be the pride of the town
and to have a very strong bond with Silas, who through her has found
inclusion and purpose in life. Eventually, the body of Dunstan Cass -
still clutching Silas's gold - is found at the bottom a nearby pond, and
the money is duly returned. Godfrey confesses to Nancy that the dead
woman was his first wife and that Eppie is his child. The couple, who
are childless, go to Silas and reveal this to him, asking that Silas
give Eppie up to their care. However, the decision falls to Eppie, who
has no desire to be raised as a gentleman's daughter if it means
forsaking Silas. At the end, Eppie marries a local boy, Aaron, son of
Dolly Winthrop, and both of them move into Silas' newly enlarged house,
courtesy of Godfrey.
