Answer____

Character Sketch of Peddler in Silas Marner:

Peddlar is an anonymous person who comes through Raveloe shortly before the theft of Silas’s money. He becomes a suspect because ofhis tinderbox. Peddlar is seen as a “merry grinning fellow” by some and as an unpleasant person by someone else. It is not what he says, but the way in which he says it seems to be the contention.

Peddlar has “a swarthy foreignness of complexion which boded little honesty.” He goes from house to house selling his goods. When Mr. Crackenthorp inquires if he was wearing earrings everyone in the village “immediately had an image of him with earrings, larger or smaller, as the case might be.” The glazier’s wife swears that he wore “big earrings, in the shape of the young moon” and Jinny Oates “stated not only that she had seen them too, but that they had made her blood creep.”
