1. Introduction
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) is the greatest rustic novelist as well as a great poet in English literary history. His fiction has always had a strong appeal for the reading public, and keeps drawing increasing attention from the academic and critical circles in particular. Some critics even think that Hardy's standing as a novelist has grown to eclipse everyone in the nineteenth century except Dickens. Thomas Hardy is also one of the few writers to succeed as both a major novelist and a poet. He has long been regarded as one of the very greatest British novelists, for his detailed depiction of a now-vanished way of life, his extraordinary delineation of the subtleties of human personality, and his overwhelming power of presentation of tragic destinies[1].
Jude the Obscure is Hardy's final novel. In different ways, it symbolizes the clash between modernity and medievalism, the pain that clash produces in the lives of the individuals. Hardy encountered many difficulties when he attempted to find an editor and publisher for this book. During the Victorian Era, the public rebelled against the progress that was taking place, like Darwin and the rise of science, and blamed their problems on religious doubt, class conflict, poverty and industrialization. In addition, Victorian Puritanism spoke out against seat, the emancipation of women, and strong individualism in women. They thought that they would lead to the end of strong moral standards in the society. So Hardy found it hard to publish Jude the Obscure after working with four different publishers over a ten-year period. He had to alter his text for publication and spent a lot of time revising. However, after Jude was published, Hardy received strong condemnation from the public. Since he had always been sensitive to the opinions of the public, taking the criticisms to heart, He ceased writing novels and focused his efforts on writing poetry where he could fully express his ideas without restrictions[2].
