This question demands that candidates discuss how the loss of Silas Marner’s old coins is able to make him change from being a misanthrope to a lover ofhuman society once more after the incident at Lantern yard. The significant point is Silas visit to the Rainbow Inn to report the loss of his gold coins to the people therein which makes the people of Reveloe have a rethink that Silas is human and not evil as he has been earlier regarded.
Many candidates attempted the question but could not make the necessary link between the loss of his gold coins with the restoration of his human relations with the people of reveloe.
