1.1 The Author----- Thomas Hardy
Thomas Hardy was born on June 2, 1840, novelist and poet, one of the representative
writers of the English critical realism at the 19th century.He is the author across two
centuries, the early and mid-fiction works mainly to inherit and carry forward the literary
tradition of the Victorian era.His twilight years with excellent poetry pioneering 20th
century British literature.
Most of Hardy's works are devoted to a realistic presentation to life . He lived in a
changing and turbulent time. There is often bitter and sharp criticism and even open
defiance of the wicked and hypocritical people , which could destroy natural human
emotions and relationships. Meanwhile ,Hardy's works reflect the rural town of capitalism
after the British invasion,as well as the profound changes in people (especially women) to
the tragic destiny.

future. He had to resort to the mystery fate thought, it is fatalism.
he mainly accepted the education at home. He was deeply affected by his
grandmother and mother , who lived in “super-naturalist domain in the remote country”[1]
Their personal life experience made them become a super-natural man In his perception,
an uncontrolled power above everything are everywhere.This mysterious forces control
the entire universe. It is this strength that control people’s fate, no matter how you
struggle, you will not be able to escape.
