Essay On My Favourite Book

The book I like most is Silas Marner. It is short novel written by George Eliot. It is very interesting novel with a simple but powerful story. The story has been narrated in an excellent manner. I found it absorbing and fascinating. I have read quite a number of good novels but some ho Silas Marner has impressed me as no other book of fiction has done.

It is a story of a poor Linen-weaver Silas Marner. He was a pious and simple young man and lived in Lanten yard. He lived by honest hard work and performed his religious duties with great devotion. People respected him. He had a close friend William Dane. He was engaged to a girl named Sarah. He was happy and contended for all he needed. But his happiness was short lived. His friend Dane Fell in love with Sarah. He accused Marner of theft. People in those days believed that by drawing lots they could find out the truth. They drew lots. Unfortunately Marner was found to have stolen money. Infact he had not stolen any thing. It was Dane who had cunningly involved him in this case.

Silas Marner was angry and shocked. He believed in a Just God. Now he thought that God was not just. In his grief he left Lanten Yard. He went to a village Raveloc and settled there. There he worked hard at his loom. In fifteen years he hoarded a lot of gold coins. He did not like to mix with people. He hated his fellow beings because William Dane had betrayed him. He cared only for gold. There was no other interest in his life. He had banished love, friendship and kindness from his heart. One night his gold was stolen. He went made with grief. Now he had nothing to live for his heart was broken.

A few days after he found a golden haired little girl. No one claimed her so Marner adopted her. Marner named her Eppie after his dead sister. The girl changed the whole life of Marner.
