초록
The aim of this study is to explain which life is more reasonable and hopeful through comparing the two characters’ contradicting life. Thomas Hardy tries to change and develop the tradition of Victorian society’s deep-seated male dominated circumstances and exclusive sense of value into the sexual equality and enlightened rural community through this novel. Eustacia, the heroin, hopes to escape the isolated and stony Egdon from start to finish. But the Nature rejects her desire. Because the Nature does not permit human beings’ treason to her. Clym, who returned to his native town Egdon to live for the rest of his life, has a plan to enlighten the rural people through education. Also his hope can not be fulfilled. The Nature does not accept Clym’s scheme because she herself rejects the change. Eustacia inevitably ends in death because her plan to escape the Nature turns into a daydream and fantasy. But Clym is rescued from death or catastrophe because he adjusted to the Nature’s principles. Eustacia expects Clym to come true her dream to escape the Egdon. Clym hopes to open a school to give knowledge to Egdon society with his wife. But their conceptions are not realistic and impractical because their notions and ambitions are not harmonious with the indifferent Egdon. In conclusion, Hardy tries to show us that Eustacia’s free will to exist must be accepted and the Clym’s lofty ideal must also be realized according to harmony with time and circumstances or the Nature.
Abstract
The aim of this study is to explain which life is more reasonable and hopeful through comparing the two characters’ contradicting life. Thomas Hardy tries to change and develop the tradition of Victorian society’s deep-seated male dominated circumstances and exclusive sense of value into the sexual equality and enlightened rural community through this novel. Eustacia, the heroin, hopes to escape the isolated and stony Egdon from start to finish. But the Nature rejects her desire. Because the Nature does not permit human beings’ treason to her. Clym, who returned to his native town Egdon to live for the rest of his life, has a plan to enlighten the rural people through education. Also his hope can not be fulfilled. The Nature does not accept Clym’s scheme because she herself rejects the change. Eustacia inevitably ends in death because her plan to escape the Nature turns into a daydream and fantasy. But Clym is rescued from death or catastrophe because he adjusted to the Nature’s principles. Eustacia expects Clym to come true her dream to escape the Egdon. Clym hopes to open a school to give knowledge to Egdon society with his wife. But their conceptions are not realistic and impractical because their notions and ambitions are not harmonious with the indifferent Egdon. In conclusion, Hardy tries to show us that Eustacia’s free will to exist must be accepted and the Clym’s lofty ideal must also be realized according to harmony with time and circumstances or the Nature.
