Any two main incidents of novel up from slavery

Dear student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

When in Ravloe, Silas lived in a stone cottage near a lonely stone-pit.  He lived there alone, busy in his work and happy with his gold. It is in this cottage where he feels most comfortable in Ravloe. This cottage is like a symbol of domesticity for him.
The important event of Silas’s life happens in this cottage, ie. Dunstan comes in this cottage in the absence of Silas and takes away the gold. When Silas comes back and realizes that the gold is gone, he reacts inconsolably.  It was his gold which was dear to him in his life and it was also gone.

Silas Marner had lost his gold a few days before Christmas. He had grown into the habit of opening his door and looking from time to time in the hope that somehow he would get back his lost money or that some news of his lost money would come. It was not that he was greedy. The unfortunate incident in Lantern Yard made him shirk the company of people. His only companion had been the gold that he had earned from weaving. But on the night of Christmas, Molly's act of carrying her daughter with her and poisoning herself turned into a blessing for Silas Marner. The little one toddled from Molly's arm towards the light that came Silas's hut. It was as if the little girl was a Christmas gift from God. It was to give Silas a purpose to live. In this way Silas's loss of gold was restored to him in the form of Eppie. She is loveable and accepts Silas as her father.  Eppie again brings change in his life by bringing back the emotions and human concerns in the life of Silas. In this stone cottage, Silas gets spiritually renewed through the reawakening of human love because of Eppie in his life. So the Cottage serves as the marker of Silas’s growth into the community.

Regards
