How would you describe Silas in Silas Marner?

At the beginning of his life, Silas is a devoted and happy
church-goer and has lots of friends and they really think highly of him.  He is devout
and hard working and has a wonderful girlfriend and everything seems to be
great.


Once his good friend has him falsely accused of
stealing, driven out of his home village and marries his former girlfriend, he becomes
incredibly bitter and focuses only on saving money.


After
he moves to Raveloe, he is regarded with suspicion by the villagers because he no longer
attends church and does not socialize with anyone.  It is only after his money is stolen
and he turns to the village for help that he becomes human again and starts to have
relationships with other villagers and come out of his shell.
