Far from madding crowd


            Compromising Female Characters in Far From the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d"Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure The novels of Thomas Hardy are intricate and complicated works whose plots seem to be completely planned before the first word is ever actually formed on paper. Though I have no proof of Hardy's method of writing, it is clear that he focuses more on plot development than characterization in the novels Far From the Madding Crowd, Tess of the d"Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. The advantages of this can be easily seen in the clever twists and turns that occur in the novel which hold the reader's interest. But the main reason Hardy uses this method, especially in the tragedies Tess and Jude, is to present a moral argument to the reader through actions done by and to the main characters of the novels. By mapping out the turning points ahead of time, Hardy is able to control the course of his writings, and they emerge as a social criticism. But in doing this, the characters are condemned to a literary predestination. Hardy concentrates more on forcing the character.
             Far from the Madding Crowd - Three Men in Bathsheba's Life Far from the Madding Crowd was written in 1873 by a famous author called Tomas Hardy. Hardy's books were mainly about tangled love affairs and people falling in love with the wrong people, this book is no exception. The book is set in a rural area of England, then known as Wessex however it is now made up of Dorset and Devon. The area was rustic in places and the setting was not an industrial one. The story centres on a young and attractive lady called Bathsheba Everdene, and how she treats the different men who fall in love with her. The name Bathsheba comes from the wife of a biblical king called David, whose behaviour was at first wayward, irresponsible and immature. However through suffering she mended her ways. Gabriel Oak is a local farmer who has a proposal of marriage to Bathsheba rejected.
