        <description><![CDATA[Hardy's "Jude The Obscure" has several themes, but the most evident is one that recurs in several of Hardy's writings.  The morality issue is large.  Jude does what he can do the best he can do it.  He tries to remain a moral man and he makes the best decisions he knows how to make after looking closely at whatever situation he finds himself in.  He tries to follow an ethical and moral path.  They may not seem to be ethical and moral to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'll give you a sampling of some of the criticism of this novel. The introduction to the eNotes study guide mentions that when the novel was first published it received negative reviews. The theme of an unmarried couple's living together was morally unacceptable at that time.
A New York Times book review from 1896 calls the book "Hardy's Audacious Novel" and wonders whether the book should ever have been written. The writer of the article...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Little Father Time is an important character in "Jude the Obscure" because he represents Hardy's views on fatalism. Thomas Hardy believed that human actions and destinies are fixed. What happens in your life is destined to happen. We are all fated to a certain end. Father Time is merely a boy, but has the melancholy of a much older man. Father Time is representative of the nature versus nurture argument. He is not old enough to have learned...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Sue wants to be a teacher. Phillotson is a professor. When Sue goes back to Phillotson, she works as a teaching assistant in his school. She is learning how to be a teacher from Phillotson. This is ironic, of course, because Jude at one time idealized Phillotson as a man who could teach him all of the great ideas and languages of the world. Phillotson represents all that is outside and beyond Jude's country world. When Sue leaves for...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One theme in &quot;Jude the Obscure&quot; by Thomas Hardy is the contrast between rural and urban culture. Jude begins as a country boy whose love of books and knowledge makes him yearn for the city. The country is presented as ignorant and backwards while the city is full of men of knowledge. Another theme in the novel is that of original sin and fate. Jude's son, Father Time, is cursed with a melancholy disposition. Father Time ends up...]]></description>

While Sue is not the boy's real mother, the child calls her &quot;mother&quot; almost immediately, showing his desperation for a maternal relationship. Jude and Sue take the child into their home and decide that they will raise him, whether he is Jude's biological child or not. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The rabbit in Chapter Two of the section entitled &quot;At Shaston&quot; most obviously symbolizes entrapment. Entrapment is one of Hardy's major themes in the novel, as he investigates how Sue is trapped in a loveless marriage and by nineteenth-century gender roles, as well as how Jude is trapped by his low social standing and the rigidity of England's class system. Jude takes pity on the trapped rabbit and kills it by breaking its neck in a...]]></description>
