From Book One how does Hardy link the character of Eustacia Vye with the landscape of Edgon heath? You should make reference of the appearance of both and what this tells the reader about the personality of Eustacia. The response should include a number of quotes to support your thoughts.
I think that the first prominent feature of The Return of the Native is Hardy’s description of the landscape. Egdon Heath is portrayed not simply as a surroundings to the action, but a actual character in itself, passionate, The Return of the Native it is frequently dark, dangerous, and wilful. It is appropriate that the book opens with a description of the heath, for the heath permeate the atmosphere of the novel, and it shapes the lives and attitudes of its residents. The characters themselves seem to act either as embodiments or outgrowths of the heath itself, as Eustacia Vye’s physical appearance and volatile emotions suggest its willful wildness. Furthermore, Eustacia’s physical activity is characterized by lengthy periods of indolence punctured by brief, spontaneous periods of energy, as the heath oscillates between periods of placid beauty and savage harshness.
