Silas Marner, which first appeared in 1861, will enable students to examine themes such as the individual's place in society, the value we place on people versus the value we place on money, and many more. Accused of a crime he didn't commit and unjustly forced from his home town, Silas lives a reclusive and godless life, finding love and companionship only in material objects. It will take the theft of his gold and the discovery of an abandoned infant to remind him of the importance of human relationships and faith.
