I'm enjoying your dead guys posts - might get back to a few of said dead guys myself at some point...it's WAY too long since I read any Hardy...although the pain of doing The Mayor of Casterbridge and Tess in high school is still quite vivid!Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883203750700550391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-1051642810174692872014-04-20T07:48:42.443+08:002014-04-20T07:48:42.443+08:00Hello, Jack!

I have always enjoyed this purely for the story, but you raise a lot of instructive points.<br /><br />For me, it is the first story I can remember where the protagonist not only fails to achieve his goal, but comes out considerably worse off than he started. Very enlightening concept to be tucked away by the embryonic writer I was in the 50s.Jack Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030471723776022615noreply@blogger.com
