Character Sketch of Mr. Dowlas in Silas Marner

Character Sketch of Mr Dowlas in Silas Marner: Mr Dowlas is a person who is too full of himself. He cannot accept anyone’s words or ideas if they are contrary to his. He is the blacksmith of the town. He shoes the horses and generally tends to livestock diseases.

When the butcher talks about the cow he killed, Mr. Dowlas feels his duty to give all the information about the animal and how he knew it. Mr Dowlas does not believe in ghosts and is willing to “wager any man ten pound, if he’ll stand out wi’ me any dry night in the pasture before the Warren stables, as we shall neither see lights nor hear noises, if it isn’t the blowing of our own noses.”
