THEMES: Hardy's most common theme is HUMANITY'S STRUGGLE AGAINST FATE.
LOVE, MARRIAGE, and FAMILY form the central themes of his novels. Hardy was the
first novelist to explore man-woman relationship out of the marriage that caused a
scandal in the Victorian Age. CRITICISM TO VICTORIAN SOCIETY
PESSIMISM: Hardy is pessimistic in the way he portrays humanity's futile struggle
against cosmic forces. His work has a tragic vision which is also stoical as it involves
an acceptance of fate. He believes that man is born to suffer and he is fatalistic
because he believes that destiny is always hostile to man and that it governs over
human life.
REALISM: He is very REALISTIC in representing the essential human conditions. His
realism, prose style, characterization and social criticism in his novels are works of
social commentary. He was a fierce critic of poverty with social stratification.
FEMINISM: Being a feminist, Thomas Hardy advocated the right of women of having
their own identity and respectable status in society, were they rich or poor.
NATURE: nature is a character in Hardy’s novels, it is HOSTILE AND INDIFFERENT TO
MEN, who fights in vain against it ( pessimism).
STYLE: realistic, a lot of physical description of places (mostly Wessex) and quotations
from the classics (Greek and Latin works) and from the Bible.
