Product Description:
The original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also feature glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format.
In CliffsNotes on Silas Marner, you explore the life of Silas Marner, a weaver who has been outcast from his original home and lives a lonely, miserable existence until his gold is stolen and a child comes into his life to replace it. This memorable novel is George Eliot's most well-known and admired work -- one that strives to present realistic human relationships and address the function of religion in society.
Chapter summaries and commentaries take you through Silas Marner's journey, and critical essays help you understand the plot, structure, characterization, themes, and use of symbolism in the novel. Other features that help you study include - Analyses of each of the main characters
- A section on the life and background of George Eliot
- A section of review questions
- A selected bibliography
- A genealogy chart to help you understand the complex relationships of the novel
Classic literature or modern modern-day treasure — you'll understand it all with expert information and insight from CliffsNotes study guides.

These cliff notes help explain the content and plot of book. The book is hard to read and grasp.
Rating: - Silas Marner 4 Stars
I will admit that maybe the first chapter was not the easiest to understand, but it still wasn't slow. I definantly recommend reading this book.
Rating:  - Silas Marner review
If you do not have to read this book, don't. It is very difficult to understand and catch on to, especially because of the slow plot build-up and the overall slowness of the book. It has a nice meaning to it but hard to understand because of the way the author words things.
