Silas Marner continued his daily theme for fifteen years in Raveloe without any problems and he had lots of money because of his work and that he never spent it because he had no value for it. One day after fifteen years something happened to him and that was that someone robbed him and took all his money. When Silas Marner found out that he had been robbed he than had no purpose for life and to work.
On new years eve when there is a party in the red house, which is the old squires Cass’s house Silas Marner had a fit outside his house and than when he went back in his house he saw something gold near the fire and he couldn’t clearly see it because his eye sight was very weak, so he thought that this gold thing that he saw was his money that was brought back to him, but when he touched it he found out that it was soft and he then found out it was a little child who was sleeping besides the fire.
Silas Marner finds this Childs mom near about his house and she is dead and he goes and tells them in the red house and then no one comes to claim this child so Silas Marner decides to take this child as his own and there is a kind person in the village who’s name is Dolly Winthrop who helps Silas raise this child so she tells him to give this child a name so he decides to name her Eppie.
Silas Marner brings up this child and he no longer has a secluded life as Eppie has changed his whole life and Eppie means everything to Silas and Silas Marner does whatever he thinks is best for Eppie. Silas will never part with Eppie. “it had never occurred to him that Silas would rather part with his life than part with Eppie” Even though Silas Marner stopped going to church he started to go again because dolly Winthrop told Silas that it would be good for Eppie and that is why he started to go to the church again.
Sixteen years later, Eppie has brought so much joy into Silas Marner life and Silas Marner is the only father that Eppie has ever known. Godfrey who is the squire son comes to Silas and tells him that he is the real father of Eppie and that he wants to adopt Eppie and Silas Marner is lost of words and says to Eppie it is your choice if you want to go you can. Then Eppie says to Godfrey that Silas Marner is the only father that she has ever known.
If Silas Marner ever lost Eppie then his life would totally destroyed because it was Eppie that brought life and joy into Silas Marner.
Later on in Silas Marners life he finds his money and finds out that the person who stole it was Godfrey’s brother Dunstan. He is happy at the sight of his money.
When Eppie is older she marries Aaron Winthrop who is Dolly Winthrop’s son. And then Aaron moves into Silas’s house and lives with him because he is married to Eppie and Eppie said that she would never leave Silas Marner and will always live with him.
This shows how much love there is between Silas Marner and Eppie. That even when Eppie got, married she did not leave Silas Marner but decided to carry on living with him in his house which was the stone pits. Since Eppie has come into silas Marners life he has started to go to the church and he talks to more people now and he no longer has an isolated life.
