Abstract
Hardy's Two on a Tower: The epic war of the upper and lower powers Hardy's Two on a Tower Endemic to Two on a Tower (1882) is the existentialist questioning which occurs at the very borderline between the binary set, emotion/ science. Emotional life in the novel refuses to be dogmatically mechanised by scientific life, at once doubting scientific determinations of things and questioning the language of geometric accuracy. It is directly connected with poetic life where Hardy's prime concern lies, but the latter continuously attempts to bring this poetic disposition under rule of practical, utilitarian and economic life hence emotional life beset with internal tensions and dislocations. The main issue here is to show how Viviette's supposedly lower world of instinct and feeling is intertwined with Swithin's upper world of logic and science. Hardy addresses this issue by manipulating the images of animals or natural elements such as hurricane and stars. So the article makes a special bid for attention to the roles of these visual forms, thereby offering an account of the novel's structure and theme.
