In a small town like Raveloe, there is always a place
(aside from church) where people meet for fun and to share the gossip of
town.
The Rainbow Inn was a form of pub (public house)
where celebrations were held, and where people went to drink, gossip, and just meet
up.
In Silas's mind, the Rainbow was an expensive resort
where people went to spend money unnecessarily. However, we know that it may be just a
regular meeting convention center where people divided themselves according to class.
Hence, the poor and the not-poor would not be likely to share
together.
We know that whenever a big celebration takes
place, such as Ms. Osgood's birthday, it would be celebrated in the Rainbow Inn, which
shows that some people in Raveloe used the place as a symbol of status, among other
things, for others to see how much they can offer society.
