About This Novel
"Jude the Obscure" is the last novel written by British writer Thomas Hardy, published in 1895. The novel narrates the tragedy of the life of rural young Jude in a tragic tone. Jude was studious, thoughtful and diligent in self-study, but he was always rejected from the university. The heroine Shu is smart and beautiful, and more importantly, has an independent personality and thoughts, and despises secularity and rigid religion. However, her love with Jude is not tolerated by the church and despised by the world. Jude's ambition was unrewarded, he had no way to find a job, and he had no way to borrow money. In despair, his eldest son hanged together with his weak sister and younger brother. Shu suffered this tragic change and finally succumbed to fate and the church. She left her beloved Jude, and her free thoughts and independent personality were destroyed. Jude, on the other hand, indulged in drinking all day long, became depressed and became ill, and died of resentment before he reached thirty.
