Write a character sketch of Godfrey Cass. (Silas Marner) |
|
Answer» Godfrey Cass is a young man well thought of in the community of Raveloe because of his good nature, compared to the wild ways and evil nature of his brother, Dunstan. However, he is unable to think much beyond his immediate material comfort. As a young man, he gets secretly married to Molly Farren, an opium addict and has a daughter with her. Meanwhile, he is enamoured with Nancy Lammeter. He feels guilty and this moral cowardice keeps him paralysed for most of the part of the novel. Godfrey consented to the marriage largely out of guilt and keeps the marriage a secret from his father because he knows his father would disown him if it ever comes to light. Godfrey is subjected to constant blackmail from Dunstan Cass (Dunsey), why knows of Godfrey’s secret marriage. |
