“Justice is the quality of being just as well as respecting the principle of righteousness and also fulfilling one's moral obligations” (Oxford Dictionary). Moral values ​​are important in Silas Marner throughout the novel as those who perform good deeds are rewarded while those who fail in their moral duties to others are punished. Since George Eliot was a religious person, he believed in fate and providence as there was a higher being who rewarded and punished our conduct. This theme is represented throughout the book and seen most prominently in the characters of Silas Marner and Godfrey Cass. Silas begins the story as a popular man in Lantern Yard as he attends church regularly and is well respected. He is called "Master Marner". His best friend is William Dane. William blames Silas for a crime he didn't commit. The people in the village begin to accuse Silas of stealing the dead deacon's money. The way this church was organized in those days meant that whether Silas was guilty or not was down to pure luck. This was the main reason why the lots were chosen to decide Silas' fate. He firmly believed in God and was firmly convinced that he would be exonerated. “I can't say anything. God will warm me” (Chapter 1 page 12). Despite his firm conviction, Silas was wrongly found guilty and had to leave his birthplace. The author, due to her different beliefs, portrayed this as saying that it is not up to God to decide your destiny, but it is up to you to decide your destiny. However, on the contrary, his prayers came true later in his life, but in the form of a child. William Dane and Dunstan Cass are the two antagonists of the novel. In chapter 1, as mentioned before, William frames Silas and betrays him... middle of the paper... dfrey has done his whole life, he also realizes the importance of a good family life. “Now I feel it is my duty to insist on taking care of my daughter. I want to do my duty” (chapter 19 page 171). Because of this, I believe justice was served as Silas was rewarded after his betrayal at Lantern Yard and for taking care of Eppie on his own. He has been rewarded by having a peaceful and happy life and also by being surrounded by people who care about him. Godfrey's past misdeeds punished him later in life, as, although he obtained Nancy, he was left without heirs. The moral of the story is that everyone is rewarded or punished for their action or conduct towards others. I think justice was done to all the main characters, but the minor characters like Molly and William, for different reasons, did not get justice.
