Character Sketch of Molly Farren in Silas Marner
Character Sketch of Molly Farren: Molly Farren is Godfrey’s secret wife, whom Godfrey has told that he would rather die than acknowledge as his wife. She knows there is a dance being held at the Red House and plans to crash the party in order to take revenge on Godfrey. She decided to go in her dingy rags, with her faded face and her little child and disclose herself to the Squire as his elder son’s wife.
Molly Farren is addicted to opium and knows that this, not Godfrey, is the primary reason for her troubles. However she resents Godfrey’s wealth and comfort and believes that he should support her. As she has been walking from the morning, she is tired, and to comfort herself, consumes the last portion of opium she has. The drug makes her drowsy and she becomes unconscious.
