Hardy/Jude the Obscure & Marriage
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page paper on Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure. The writer argues that Hardy found both the old paradigm regarding marriage and the new emerging paradigm were flawed. His naturalistic approach does not offer a solution, but rather finds both versions of marriage to be terribly flawed. In particular, the context of the novel argues that the new ideas concerning marriage, as well as the changing society of the time, left people adrift with no clear anchor on which to base their lives.

Hardy/Wyndham Comparison
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that compares and contrasts Thomas Hardy's short story "The Son's Veto" (1891) and John Wyndham's "Survival" (1956). The writer argues that while these stories are very different, the manner in which they each portray a mother's devotion to her child is quite similar. Hardy's protagonist, Sophy Twycott, relinquishes her only hope for happiness to please a son who is overly class conscious, obnoxious and self-centered. While presented under vastly different circumstances, Wyndham's protagonist, Alice Morgan, shares with Sophy a devotion to her child that supercedes other considerations. No additional sources cited.
