Style: Point of View

What point of view does the story use? Is it consistent in its use of this point of view? If shifts are made, are they justified?

  1. The story of Silas Marner is told in third person point of view. The narrator tells the story for the duration of the novel. There are no shifts in the point of view. I think this is one of the things that makes Silas Marner such a great novel. If the point of view switched back and forth, I don’t believe it would have been as easy to follow and the messages wouldn’t have been so effective.
