Jude The Obscure by Thomas Hardy

[monriatitans]

ADOPTION AWARENESS QUOTE 3 OF 3 Friday, November 4, 2022

"The beggarly question of parentage—what is it, after all? What does it matter, when you come to think of it, whether a child is yours by blood or not? All the little ones of our time are collectively the children of us adults of the time, and entitled to our general care. That excessive regard of parents for their own children, and their dislike of other people's, is, like class-feeling, patriotism, save-your-own-soul-ism, and other virtues, a mean exclusiveness at bottom." - Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure

JUDE THE OBSCURE: a parcel turned up from America, and opening it felt like Christmas as I had completely forgotten ordering it some weeks ago. It’s an edition of Thomas Hardy’s ‘Jude the Obscure’ with wood-engraved illustrations by Agnes Miller-Parker. What’s especially good is that there is a separate, signed colour engraving loosely inside. I love her wood-engravings: something about how she creates form and a sense of deep space with engraved marks. Another volume for the piles of books in my flat, but what a beauty it is, and I suspect not well- known in this country as the Limited Editions Club was based in New York. #agnesmillerparker #woodengraving #thomashardy #judetheobscure #book #illustration #illustrationartists #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #printmaking (at Brighton and Hove) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMoXlnOlr6E/?igshid=cmpochq4bdeg

«"... But is there anything better on earth than that we should love one another?"» (from Phase Sixth: At Christminster Again, Chapter III) ~ #JustFinished: Jude the Obscure by #ThomasHardy My rating: 9/10 ~ Well, this is probably the dreariest novel I've ever read. It is still amazing, though. It caused controversy at its time, which is no surprise, as he harshly criticizes a bigoted, rigid, hypocritical society against natural freedom. But, because of all the reaction, he, unfortunately, stopped writing novels. Besides, this novel greatly proves what a great intellectual Hardy was, displaying his knowledge of scientific developments known in his age, especially Social Darwinism by which he shaped his novel, as well as his knowledge of philosophy, literature and classical history. If not for the unecessarily repetitive parts in it, I would definitely rate it 10/10. ~ *may contain spoilers* (1) This novel might as well have been named "Jude the Ill-Omened", or "Jude the Unlucky". His story, which is from his childhood to his age of thirty, is full of disappointments, failures and his being a victim of his instincts. How he, inspired by the schoolmaster Mr. Richard Phillotson, always wants to study in university at Christminster but ends up being a stonemason, and once being diverted to clergy, still not giving up his dreams, is really heartbreaking. Besides, the idea of determinism plays an important role, again, like in Tess of the d'Urbervilles, intertwined with Social Darwinism, and as a social animal who can't fulfill what society requires, Jude cannot survive. These laws also leave impacts on other characters, especially Jude's cousin, Sue Bridehead, who is one of the most important characters in the history of literature in my opinion, by whom, Hardy deconstructed the woman image which had been reflected in literature by his time. ~ «"She's never found peace since she left his arms, and never will again till she's as he is now!"» (from Phase Sixth: At Christminster Again, Chapter XI) ~ #bookreview #JudeTheObscure #Jude #JudeFawley #SueBridehead #ArabellaDonn #MrPhillotson #RichardPhillotson #LittleFatherTime #Christminster #book #books #bookstagram #novel https://www.instagram.com/p/BtNSBNsHBDT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j9h5e7j3hmuz

«Growing up brought responsibilities, he found. Events did not rhyme quite as he had thought. Nature's logic was too horrid for him to care for. That mercy towards one set of creatures was cruelty towards another sickened his sense of harmony. As you got older, and felt yourself to be at the centre of your time, and not at a point in its circumference, as you had felt when you were little, you were seized with a sort of shuddering, he perceived.» (from Part First: At Marygreen, Chapter II) ~ #CurrentlyReading: Jude the Obscure by #ThomasHardy. It is so bleak... probably the bleakest novel I've ever read, and I've been waiting for a silver lining for Jude, just an intrinsically good man with "natural" instincts, who wanted to pursue his dreams! And Sue Bridehead, what a deconstructing character... There's going to be more to tell on my review post! ~ «It was quite impossible, he found, to ask to be delivered from temptation when your heart's desire was to be tempted unto seventy times seven.» (from Part Second: At Christminster, Chapter IV) ~ #JudeTheObscure #Jude #JudeFawley #SueBridehead #ArabellaDonn #MrPhillotson #RichardPhillotson #Christminster #naturalism #book #books #bookstagram #bibliophile #englishnovel #victoriannovel #novel #currentread #reading #read #bookish #instabook #literature #bookclub #bookworm #booknerd #booktube #classics #oxfordworldsclassics https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGmvjjH3zc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=26m2xkwkc72d
