In Silas Marner, what did the people at the party think of Godfrey and Nancy? |
|
Answer» The town folk hoped that the spirit of greatness that accompanies the two families of Godfrey and Nancy will be perpetuated by joining their children in matrimony. The town people saw the way Godfrey and Nancy were together at the party, although at the same time they were not so intimate that their actions would be too obvious. They referred to this behavior as ‘sweet-hearting’. Basically, in traditional ‘townfolk talk’ the people are noticing both young persons want to get closer to each other. They see that they are getting closer physically and emotionally. The dynamics that could later turn into a full-fledged relationship are all there. Marriages and celebrations are big deals in traditional settings, so the blossoming of a relationship between the rich Nancy Lammeter and Godfrey, is always a topic of choice in a cohesive place such as Raveloe. |
