However, without her, life feels meaningless, and he wanders aimlessly, lost in grief. Tess’s death was not her own fault but the result of social oppression and an unforgiving fate.

저자(글) Thomas Hardy

Thomas Hardy (1840–1928) was an English novelist and poet, widely recognized as a leading figure in realism and naturalism. Through works such as Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure, he explored themes of moral hypocrisy and the inescapable fate of individuals within society. His novels are primarily set in the fictional region of Wessex, portraying characters who struggle against societal constraints and cruel destiny. Initially trained as an architect, Hardy later devoted himself to literature, emphasizing the tragic nature of human existence. His works, including Far from the Madding Crowd, vividly depict the relationship between nature and human life, leaving a lasting impression on readers with their emotional depth. However, following the controversy surrounding Jude the Obscure, Hardy ceased writing novels and turned to poetry. As a poet, he reflected on human fate and the changes of the era, infusing his works with philosophical contemplation. His literature continues to influence modern writers and holds a significant place in English literary history.
