Far from the Madding crowd - Thomas Hardy

Far from the Madding crowd

This blog is a part of my thinking activity in B.A syllabus.


About Author:-

        Thomas Hardy was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, especially William Wordsworth. Who set much of his work in Wessex. He was an architecture by profession but from his soul he was a pure artist. He wrote a poems but he was not get that position among literary writers. So he drown his attention towards novels. And he got success as writer with help of novel.


About novel :-

      Far from the Madding Crowd  is Thomas Hardy's fourth novel and his first major literary success. It originally appeared anonymously as a monthly serial in Cornhill Magazine, where it gained a wide readership. The novel is the first to be set in Thomas Hardy's Wessex in rural southwest England. This novel is one of the best novel written by him.

Character :-

Bathsheba
Gabriel oak
Troy
Fanny

     Bathsheba is a main character of this novel. Whole novel take place around  her. Hardy tried to write feminist novel because during the time of this novel 1873 we con not find many novel on which female characters is a central character. As we see most of hardy's novel have settings of Wessex.

   The main plot of this novel grow out of characters and sub plot grows out natural situation. Bathsheba is a very beautiful and charming woman. Who promoted  byher vanity and pride, reject the proposal of marriage offered by Gabriel oak. But she think like she is a superior than Gabriel oak.  Nonetheless the immature Bathsheba overlooked the worthy Gabriel and become infatuated with Sargent Troy a philanderer.
Bathsheba marries with troy, although he is already involved with fanny. Bathsheba knows about his affairs with fanny. It is too late. Fanny and her child are already dead. And Troy desert her when Bathsheba is ready to accept her mistake in encouraging and marry him out of pity and duty.


     Hardy's view about life is essentially tragic caused by the hand of fate in human affairs. Sometimes fate operates through natural occurrence . In far from Madding crowd. Gabriel must work feverishly to protect Bathsheba 's harvest from a terrible Strom. Although Gabriel succeed in overcoming the fate of Strom. Bathsheba is not lucky and loss all his fortune through and occured of natural fate. Fate is responsible for Bathsheba's change in fortune as well.

     The plot of novel actually center on the fortunes and misfortunes of Gabriel oak. We can say that throughout her tribulations Bathsheba comes to really increasingly on her oldest and as the admits to herself, only real friend Gabriel. When he gives notice that he is learning her employ. She realises that how important he has become to her well- being.

    Basically the whole story is take place around Bathsheba and her love story . She is the only female and most important character of the novel. This is the story all about.
