THOMAS HARDY: THE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE

The story of a good at heart but impulsive hay-trusser. The Mayor of Casterbridge portrays a strong-headed Michael Henchard who often goes wrong owing to his hot-headedness. He rises to become the mayor of the town as well as the richest and the most flourishing corn and hay merchant there by dint of energy and hard work. But he falls from his high position owing to his wrong moves and hotheadedness. He dies a lonely, broken-hearted man. Henchard has his weaknesses, but we do not condemn him. We rather pity him and admire his heroic struggle against heavy odds. He is really a man of character. This critical study, originally prepared by Dr. Raghukul Tilak, has been revised, edited and brought upto-date by prof. Shakti Batra.
