When it comes to the classics, dear, Tess may not be the ultimate best, but let's put its literary hype to rest. You know, get the words off our chest 🌻 Love your hairdo by the way, suits you well👍💛 Meow!
Hi Mikaila, I'm so glad to hear you met Tess! T.H. has a ton of titles I've read a half dozen or so and have yet to encounter a bad one. He tends to be a little dark (but I'm talking to the girl who likes Bleak House 😂) Father Time from Jude the Obscure would fit right into a Cormac McCarthy novel. Still Hardly tackles some great themes and left us with some of the most memorable characters this side of Shakespeare. Jude Fawley (The Obscure) stands on a par with Isabel Gilbert (The Doctor's Wife) Septimus Warren Smith (Mrs Dalloway) Boxer (Animal Farm) and Mr. Bennet(Pride) 'who had his books and his garden.' Even Dostoyevsky didn't bring us a better gambling scene in The Gambler then Hardy did in The Return of the Native. Or how about his greatest of all lines in Far From the Madding Crowd where he laments the loss of the dog who was just trying to heard Gabriel's flock of sheep..."Such is the fate of dogs and other philosophers who carry an idea to it's logical conclusion." If you do not have your PhD but love great literature you'll probably really connect with Jude. Enjoy!
Hello! I have heard of Jude the Obscure and had no idea it was by TH! It seems there are similar themes in there as well. And I definitely do not mind dark haha so I’ll definitely look into it!
