Silas Marner

Silas Marner, a devoted member of a Calvinist congregation, faces a devastating accusation of theft when he is wrongfully blamed for the disappearance of the church's funds. The evidence against him includes a pocket-knife and a bag found in his home, both of which lead to his ostracism from the community. Set in a Northern English slum, the story explores themes of isolation, trust, and redemption as Silas navigates the consequences of this betrayal.
