FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD

IN THIS ESSEY I WILL EXAMINE BASHEBIA EVERDENE AND HER 3 SUITERS

Thomas Hardy born 1840 and died 1928 and he lived through the industrial revolution; he lived a poor child hood, as his father was a stonemason his whole life was centred around the countryside, as were his novels. Hardy started his carrier not doing novels but doing poems.

The novel Far from the madding crowds main theme is the way that Bathsheba Everdene copes with her 3 suitors.

Gabriel Oak - The novel's hero, Gabriel Oak is a farmer, shepherd, and bailiff, marked by his humble and honest ways, his exceptional skill with animals and farming, and an unparalleled loyalty. He is Bathsheba's first suitor, later the bailiff on her farm, and finally her husband at the very end of the novel. Gabriel is characterised by an incredible ability to read the natural world and control it without fighting against it. He occupies the position of quiet observer throughout most of the book, yet he knows just when to step in to save Bathsheba and others from catastrophe.

William Boldwood - Bathsheba's second suitor
