The Mayor of Casterbridge // Thomas Hardy the master of tragedy // Book Review

The Mayor of Casterbridge is my second Thomas Hardy novel and I'm reading it as part of #victober 2022, where a lot of us read Victorian Literature in the month of October. Thanks to the hosts for choosing this title! In this video, we'll look at the beginning part of the story and at Susan specifically - Michael Henchard is more than ready to marry her but for what reason? Does he love her? Secondly, we'll play a game of 'where have I seen this?' Does the story between Michael Henchard and Donald Farfrae remind you of that of someone else? Why does Henchard bully the choir into singing Psalm 109? Lastly, after finishing the novel, what's your overall impression of the story and what's your feeling towards the author? I definitely have more questions than answers to share with you in this video! 0:00 Intro 0:45 Henchard and Susan 8:25 Where have I seen this? 18:38 The tragedy of Hardy
