Women's awakening is not easy, but at any time and anywhere (such as Victorian England) there are women who are born to be strong. After ten minutes into the play, Oak, the shepherd next door, was proposed to marry him. Everdene said no without hesitation, and left a sentence without mercy: "If I ever were to marry I want somebody to tame me and you'd never be able to do it."
In my opinion, the play is enough, but the story (life) is about to sweep through. What happened afterwards, as expected, Everdene's behavior made people's eyes bright and admired, but gradually, it also made people feel pity. Sergeant Troy, who was trespassing in the jungle at night, met Everdene and couldn't help but praise her that you are so beautiful. Troy was indeed in a state of collapse that night, but he vomited all the truth, because at that moment he had no way of knowing that the girl illuminated by the oil lamp in front of him was the mistress of the farm. Of course, the truth is revealed after the marriage, but for Everdene, she is finally happy and crazy, and she doesn't regret it. And he is honest after all. He didn't try to hide from his wife after the Dongchuang incident. He, like Everdene, is a person who cannot betray himself.
Troy is young and passionate. Compared to Boldwood's period, Troy is deeply and vicissitudes of life. The last line in the chorus of "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" is "That all the world may plainly see // How my love slighted me". Most folk songs are sad and sad, probably not without reason. One of the three suitors likes him the most (he hasn’t left the age of Uncle Control...), he whispered this helpless but extremely moving sentence: "If you worry about marrying me merely out of guilt and pity and compromise, well-I don't mind, I love you and, for my own part, I am content merely to be liked." Although Boldwood has everything, but he knows that even if he marries his loved one, he also Can't have her heart and all she has. But even so, he proposed so sincerely and humblely.
I'm not sure who can own Everdene at all. She is a free bird, but not without ties ("Are birds free from the chains of the skyway?" Bob Dylan). The harder she is, the weaker she is ("Bathsheba loved Troy in the way that only self-reliant women love when they abandon their self-reliance. When a strong woman recklessly throws away her strength she is worse than a weak woman who has never any strength to throw away." Thomas Hardy) . She keeps trying to break through the cage of gender identity, which she seems to be quite successful, at least from the ending point of view. In that period, she was completely ahead of her time. But even now, it’s not necessarily easier, because after all, it’s not external factors such as the relationship of class or gender, but human nature itself—the kind of inherent strength, arrogance, arrogance, and arrogance. Freedom is the air but I want to grasp all the futile efforts.
Far from the madding crowd, in the cold light of day, few women had ever been there, and even fewer stayed there all the way through.
And perhaps it's nothing about women really, but men, in general.
