Arjane's REFELECTION on Silas Marner

(Arjane G. Cezar) This novel explores the issues of redemptive love, the notion of community, the role of religion, and the status of the gentry and family. While religion and religious devotion play a strong part in this text, Eliot concerns herself, as always, with matters of ethics, and it is clear that for her, ethics exist apart from religion. in other words, as i read the novel, all i feel is the hurt of discrimination.
