About the Book The Mayor of Casterbridge
The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy is a compelling tale of fate, guilt, and redemption set in the fictional town of Casterbridge. The story follows Michael Henchard, who, in a drunken fit, sells his wife Susan and their daughter Elizabeth-Jane to a sailor named Richard Newson. Overcome with remorse, Henchard vows to abstain from alcohol for twenty-one years.
Eighteen years later, Susan and Elizabeth-Jane return to find Henchard, who has risen to become the Mayor of Casterbridge. Henchard attempts to reconcile with his family, but his past actions and secrets continue to haunt him. The arrival of Donald Farfrae, a young and capable Scotsman, further complicates Henchard’s life as Farfrae becomes both his business rival and romantic competitor.
The novel explores themes of personal responsibility, the impact of past actions, and the struggle for redemption. Henchard’s journey is marked by his attempts to make amends, his conflicts with Farfrae, and his ultimate downfall, highlighting the tragic consequences of his earlier decisions.
