The Struggles of the main characters in Thomas Hardy's Wessex Tales

In this thesis, I focus on the characters? struggle against fate in Thomas
Hardy?s Wessex Tales. I find that the four main characters: Matthaus Tina,
Gertrude Lodge, George Barnet, and Charles Darton have some struggles against
their fate. They struggle against fate because they cannot accept and surrender to
their fate. I decide discuss the ways the main characters struggle against their fate
as my topic. I need to use the literary approach and employ the literary theory
especially the theory of conflict as the main tool to analyze the situations that
show the characters? struggle against fate. In addition, I also use the theory of
characterization to analyze the characters? thinking or action as their struggles
when they fight against fate. Finally, as my finding, I see the four main characters
struggle against fate but they cannot fight against fate. The important point is not
the result of their struggle but their struggles and willingness to fight against fate.
When they struggle against fate, they prove that they do not want to surrender to
their fate.
