Molly's Death in Silas Marner
At the moment, Silas is like a snail in a shell, waiting to come out
and excel. Godfrey has a big surprise waiting for him on New Years
Eve. His previous wife, Molly, is planning on showing up and avenge
him for leaving him. She has not only come alone, but with her child.
Molly is addicted to opium and needs another shot to energise her walk
towards the Squire's house in the deep snow. She immediately collapses
and the poor child is left alone. She manages to find a way towards
the town and is mainly attracted to the bright light of Silas' house.
Silas was suffering from another one of his fits and the child manages
to find refuge from the weather in his house. As he regains
consciousness he realises the new arrival and thinks it is his gold as
this was of the same colour as her hair. Silas decides to go into
Squire's house to report the death of Molly and the discovery of the
new joy in his life. When Silas invites himself in the back door of
the party, Godfrey is one of the first people to see him. When Silas
begins to speak about the dead woman in the snow, Godfrey immediately
realizes that she's his wife.
As the evening progresses it soon becomes obvious that Silas has
become attached to his newly found treasure. When the women of the
household ask to hold her, Silas protests, saying, "I can't part with
it, I can't let it go." On the other hand Godfrey now knows that Molly
is gone for good, he will be free to marry Nancy.
On chapter fourteen, Silas's new life with the child, whom he decides
to name Eppie. She has replaced the stolen money "The money's gone I
don't know where, and this is come from I don't know where."
It seems that Nancy is not totally happy with her life as wife of
Godfrey. Although she loves him very much and is happy when he is
happy, she desperately desires children.
