But little Hephzibah is left in his care, and Eppiethey bond so strongly that she will not leave him, even when her titled father is finally ready to publicly acknowledge her.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While nobody in Raveloe likes Silas or his miserly ways much at that point in the story, he's clearly so utterly and profoundly devastated by the loss of his money that they can't help but immediately take pity on him.

''SilasMarner'' is an 1861 novel written by Creator/GeorgeEliot. Unlike other Eliot novels, ''Silas Marner'' is a very compact book with a straightforward narrative and very few subplots. It concerns Marner, a weaver unfairly forced out of his home village after being framed for robbery. Moving to the small town of Raveloe, he leads a quiet, lonely life where he hoards his money and is treated with suspicion by the townspeople until he is struck by tragedy, and then redemption, shortly thereafter.
