Why does Silas return to Lantern Yard after having lived and prospered at Raveloe ? How does his visit prove useful to him ? |
|
Answer» Silas decides to visit Lantern Yard to seek the truth about the past, i.e., whether his name had been cleared of the theft. He wanted to resolve the problem of his religion and settle his doubts about the conflicts between his old faith and his new one. Silas finds everything changed in Lantern Yard. It has changed to an extent that he hardly knows his way. He has to ask for directions. The only landmark he recognises is the old prison. All the streets have changed. The walls are grimy and the people sallowfaced and dirty. When at last he comes to where the Yard should be, Silas finds in its place a factory. No one knows anything of the chapel or the minister. Thus his questions remain unresolved. |
