Explanation

Silas Marner's life experiences in Lantern Yard and Raveloe are played out under two contrasting backgrounds or settings. Lantern Yard and Raveloe present Silas in different lights; the former beginning pleasurably and ending in bitterness while, the latter begins in bitterness and ends in joy. In Lantern Yard, Silas' life begins on a hopeful note, full of expectations and trust.

The company of friends like William Dane and other members of the church means the whole world to him. Silas has faith in God and expects to live a fulfilled life. Silas' engagement to Sarah and friendship with William Dane and the others show that he believes in „pure, natural human relations". In Lantern Yard, Silas' hope of being vindicated by God is shattered by the lot which the church casts that turns against him. Knowing fully well that he has not stolen the church's money as suspected, he feels disillusioned. The betrayal he suffers when his betrothed Sarah is snatched by his best friend, William Dane, can only drive him into `exile' to a new land, Raveloe.Thus, Silas' life in Lantern Yard begins as pleasurably as it ends in bitterness. Overwhelmed by betrayal, hopelessness and loss of faith in human relations, Silas' life in Raveloe begins in bitterness as he keeps aloof from his neighbours. Silas' life in Raveloe is best determined by the reactions of the villagers.

At first, they are suspicious of him, feeling that his knowledge of medicinal herbs may be the result of his dealings with the devil. This is made worse by his withered and pale looks, short-sightedness and the occasional cataleptic fit he suffers. All these affect his gentle, loving nature since his truthful simple, soul has been bitterly hurt. Thus, Raveloe provides Silas with the hideout he needs to work and just earn his gold coins which he cherishes with absorbing passion. In Raveloe, Silas makes for himself 'an eager life tilled with immediacy which fenced him from the wide, cheerless, unknown.

'Though a barren life, with `no relation' to any other being, it is in sharp contrast with the life in Lantern Yard, where friends are full of deceit and disappointment. Silas is full of despair when his gold is stolen. His wish is to get back his treasure and not to hurt anybody. Raveloe creates an environment for Silas to prove that he has never lost his capacity for kindness and affection. He finds the child Eppie who reminds him of his little sister, and he takes refuge in Eppie's little world, that lay lightly on his enfeebled spirit' Thus, Silas' life which begins in bitterness in Raveloe ends in joy as Eppie helps him realize that there's good in this world ... in spite of the trouble and the wickedness.' As Eppie chooses Silas instead of her real father Godfrey, Silas is consoled at last and feels vindicated even as his gold is recovered.

Explanation

Santiago, an old and experienced fisherman spends the most part of his days at sea. His fishing expeditions which often take him far away from the shore enable him to know and understand the ways of the sea and its creatures. They also give him a vantage ground from which he can have a clear view of birds and such other phenomena as the. stars, the moon and the sun. As a result of his experiences at sea and his intimate observation of birds, Santiago develops peculiar views about them.

For instance, the old man recognizes, respects and empathizes as well as talks to them as if they can hear him and respond like human beings. He does this at great length though his monologues. For example, he says "if the others hear me talking out loud they would think I am crazy but since I am not crazy, I do not care"

As opposed to the views of others, Santiago always thinks of the sea as a woman who gives or withholds great favours This may explain why he bemoans his bad luck rather than bear the sea any grudge for losing the marlin be catches.

The old man recognizes the ability of birds to give a fisherman an insight into where he can find fish to catch. Such is the warbler that circles over him and leads him to locate the marlin he kills. During his ordeal with the big fish, he feels sorry for turtles but is also inspired by them as he compares his heart to theirs which live long after they have been killed. Hence, he eats their white eggs all through May to be strong in September and October.

In his fantasies, Santiago regards fish including the sharks which he knows species by species and which also deprive him of his big catch not only as friends but also as nobler, more beautiful and more able although less intelligent brothers. He sees the sinister sharks not as mere scavengers but as creatures with friends, mothers and relatives in their own right. He kills them in self-defence and to protect his catch.

His unusual view about other creatures is most noticeable in his encounter with the marlin. He pities the fish in its moment of anger and anguish even as his own life is on the line. He catches and kills the fish since no one is worthy of eating it from its behaviour and great dignity. He acknowledges its equal right to live and kill him if in self-defence. He argues that he kills the marlin neither for money nor for food but simply for pride. He wishes that the big fish were like the moon, the stars and the sun that no man can kill. -
