The inheritance of a distant uncle not only made her financially free, but also mingled in the aristocratic circle. There are 2 best men who love her deeply. One of them has superhuman abilities and stepped forward at critical moments. A wealthy party, distressed for the heroine, shot the scumbag, and became a prisoner himself. But she prefers to fall in love with the scumbag. Because the scumbag said he had seen a woman more beautiful than her. Out of jealousy, agree to marry. She is so lucky, so she can follow her heart and live out her independent consciousness in that era. The protagonist's light is indeed stronger.
After all, Hardy's "Far From the Madness" is an early work. The author's world view is too optimistic. The core of the story should be to express the independent spirit of the heroine. At that time, I will definitely give him a big praise for this advanced point of view. Compared with his later "Tess", the worldview conveyed is more mature and realistic.
The independent spirit of women is indeed worthy of praise. But without the protection of these 2 bitter and high-quality men, the independent spirit was just a fake in that era. The ending of "Tess" is the real destination of women's independent consciousness in that era.
