Answer the following question, in 120-150 words:

What do we learn about Mrs, Hall and Griffin from their first interaction at Coach and Horses inn?

Or

What kind of life did Silas lead before coming to Raveloe?

Answer:

Mrs. Hall was the owner of the Inn ?Coach and Horses?. She was a friendly woman who socialized with her guests easily. She was very excited when Griffin came to stay at her inn as she was not expecting anyone in such a harsh winter.             She tried to be the best host. Although she was rebuked by Griffin many times when she tried to help him with his coat and hat, she did not give up. She attributed his behavior to an accident which he might have met with. She was a curious woman who wanted to know what had happened to him and why he was wearing the bandages all over his face. She showed her full sympathy to him and tolerated him as he was paying a handsome sum as rent. It can be concluded that she was a credulous, somewhat irresponsible (in believing the stranger even without confirming his identity) about her family s well-being.             Griffin was a man without any humanity. He was a gifted young student but he misused his talent and knowledge. He found Mrs. Halls in the suitable place to carry on with his experiments. But he was not interested in advancing any conversation with Mrs. Hall. We can say that he was very rude towards her. He kept all his intentions and designs to himself. He had a mysterious nature. He didn?t want anyone to know about his secret mission. He did not hold any regard for relations and society.

Silas had come to Raveloe fifteen years earlier from a city to the North. Before that he was a faithful member of a religious sect in the Lantern Yard. He had been an exceptionally bright and fervent young disciple. The religious community had great regard for him. His fits were regarded there as a mark of special closeness to the Holy spirit. He had full faith in humanity and God. He was a simple man who wanted to live within himself or in other words he was an introvert. He had a close friend named William Dane, and he was engaged to a serving girl.             Sarah. Later on he is betayed by William who accusses him of unjustly theft and marries Silas?s fiancee. As a result he loses faith in God and settles in Raveloe.
