Using the following steps, prepare an outline for a critical review of Silas Marner: Review characters, plot, and setting. Make notes. Write your review of characters, plot, and setting in the form of notes. Think about the strengths and weaknesses of each. Search the novel for strengths in technique. Again make notes. Pay attention to strong or weak character development, strong or weak plot, how setting helps character development and action or overpowers them. Also search sources about Silas Marner for perspectives on George Eliot's methods and/or themes (and don't forget to record the necessary facts about those sources for proper crediting). Write your outline. Submit your outline below (include your thesis at the top of your outline).
