In George Eliot's novel Silas Marner, the "lantern brethren" refers to the members of Silas Marner's devout religious community in Lantern Yard. These brethren falsely accused Silas of stealing money from their church and, through a plot involving his own friend William Dane, framed and exiled him from their community. The term "brethren" also highlights the community's severe, rigid, and superstitious practices, such as casting lots to make divine judgments, which contrasts with the careless abundance of the villagers in his new home, Raveloe.
The community of Lantern Yard
- Silas belonged to a devout, small Calvinist congregation in Lantern Yard, a poor area of Northern England.
- The brethren falsely accused Silas of stealing money, an accusation that led to his expulsion from the community.
- The brethren's practices were rooted in superstition, such as their use of trial by lot and their belief in the devil's influence.

The Weaver of Raveloe
in the days of spinning wheeels
deep in the bosom of the hills, certain pallid undersized men, who, by the side of the brawny country-folk, looked like the remnants of a disinherited race
alien looking
evil one
Satan has an advantage of over some people because of thier hearfs
knife , missing money
heart-disease and dropsy no good doctors
weaver from outta no where had remedies
which it occurred to him that he could make
his way to Batherley without danger of encountering any member of the hunt
The Rainbow, in Marner’s view, was a place of luxurious resort for rich and stout husbands, whose wives had superfluous stores of linen; it was the place where he was likely to find the powers and dignities of Raveloe, and where he could most speedily make his loss public. He lifted the latch, and turned into the bright bar or kitchen on the right hand, where the less lofty customers of the house were in the habit of assembling, the parlour on the left being reserved for the more select society in which Squire Cass frequently enjoyed the double pleasure of conviviality and condescension. But the parlour was dark to-night, the chief personages who ornamented its circle being all at Mrs. Osgood’s birthday dance, as Godfrey Cass was. And in consequence of this, the party on the high-screened seats in the kitchen was more numerous than usual; several personages, who would otherwise have been admitted into the parlour and enlarged the opportunity of hectoring and condescension for their betters, being content this evening to vary their enjoyment by taking their spirits-and-water where they could themselves hector and condescend in company that called for beer.
