Question
Dolly Winthrop has a very noble nature. Comment.
Solution
Dolly Winthrop is a generous, kind, genuinely helpful woman. The woman who aids Silas greatly. She first visits him, bringing him a plate of cakes with the initials I.H.S. on them and begging him to at least give up weaving on Sunday. When Silas starts caring for Eppie, Dolly advises him how to care for a child. Later, she is Eppie's godmother and Silas's trusted advisor in religion and life. Silas goes to seek her advice whenever he has a problem, whether it concerns Eppie's welfare or his past. Dolly makes him see that he should trust the world. When she gives Silas the advice to attend church especially because of the season, it is to help him become more social. Dolly wants to make sure that Silas is bringing Eppie up in the proper way and she feels that going to church will help him in that aspect. People had seen Silas as an outcast, a misfit, and that is never good for raising a child. When one is at church, the barriers are eventually taken down, and people open up more. Dolly was being genuine in the fact that church should be important in every parent's life
