Though there is no main antagonist you could consider minor ones such as William Dane because of his betrayal of Silas Marner, Dunstan Cass because he stole Marner's money, or maybe even Godfrey Cass because he was trying to take Eppie to his home and make her leave Silas.
In "Silas Marner," gold symbolizes wealth, greed, and materialism. It represents the corrupting influence of money on individuals and communities, contrasting with the value of love, relationships, and personal growth. Gold also serves as a metaphor for the pursuit of material possessions at the expense of spiritual and emotional fulfillment.
When Silas finds that his money is gone and he has been robbed he thinks of the list of the neighbours who could steal his money. From the list comes Jem Rodney, a known poacher who had often met Silas in the fields and said something jestingly about the weaver's (Silas's) money. Also Jem often had gone to Silas's cottage than anyone else.
The fact that Eppie comes to him after being abandoned in the snow and how he forgets bout his money since she comes into his life. It is as if sh has been sent to him to replace the pain in his past life and what is to come.

One example of irony in "Silas Marner" is when Silas, who is initially socially isolated and attached to his money, ends up finding true connection and happiness through adopting a child, whom he initially believes is a lost treasure. Another example is the ironic twist of fate where Eppie, Silas's adopted daughter, chooses to stay with him and reject the wealthy family who claim to be her biological relatives, emphasizing the value of love and loyalty over material wealth.
I suspect money more than anything else.
