Another major weakness is that he lashes himself to repent and this seems relatively wrong and puts another weak point on him. His main weakness is that he wears the cilice, causing a weak point on his body. Silas’s weaknesses help show how arrogant he really is. These strengths really shape Silas’s character. He follows the teaching of the Opus Dei and is not tempted by a sexual urge, seeing the prostitutes, he tightens his cilice belt. Silas doesn’t like hurting others unless it is in the name of God. He does not disobey the orders he is given, does not hesitate to complete the task at hand. A main feature is that he is very persistent, and does not like to leave a mission incomplete, such as he kept going after the keystone. The strengths that Silas really shows are displayed by his character. Bishop Aringarosa had heard about the jail break and then gave Silas a bible that told of a man named Silas that was in jail, and gave Silas the name Silas. Bishop Aringarosa had found Silas and brought him back to his church. Twelve years later, a strange force broke the ceiling above him leaving a crawl hole for him to escape from. Silas had killed two sailors and had been sent to the prison of Andorra. His father had frequently beating his mother for giving him an albino son Silas had stabbed his father to death to stop the beatings and ran away. Our story of Silas starts out with the fact he had run away form his family at the age of seven, but he did not have the name Silas then, he forgets his family given name. Silas, the ghost like character of this story is the character I have chosen.
