Question

how does the author bring in natural elements into the novel "Silas Marner"

Answer 1

The little village of Raveloe in the novel itself depicts all that is natural like customs, traditions and values. The seasonal changes, the birth and the death and even the comparison of clothes are done in context to the nature. The wedding ceremony of Eppie and Aaron takes place on a lazy afternoon when the economy is at its quietest and the flowers are prettiest. All these show the importance of natural elements in the story
