aeroles 's review for:
Silas Marner: The Weaver of Raveloe
by George Eliot
There were a lot if things that beyond of my expectations that I have encountered through my reading of the book.
Okey, I know Silas Marner a classic. Not because Silas Marner sounds an extinct name but I know George Eliot, its creator, have existed many years ago and lived during Victorian era. However, I never expected Silas Marner to be a subtle reading. I never did because Mary Anne (Mary Ann or Marian) Evans, George Eliot's real name, is a woman. And it is not on my expectation that a woman like her write as complicated as the men authors of her contemporaries. Although, I have somewhat think beforehand that Victorian literature is marked with such verbosity.
Its 170 pages could have rather short, but added with the little complexities of the language and my regular duty requiring me to work at weekdays, I am reading this book for more than a month (as you can see in the graph below).

But however verbose the book is, it is a rather simple tale. A great man of simplicity would have wonderful time reading it as there is not arduous time of deep reflection for the story was presented with not so much allegory if none at all.
I love to think that the theme of Eliot's writing is of simplicity and love.
