Part of a personal site of Josh Bazuin. Provides a five-paragraph essay titled "Comparing the Business Practices of Henchard and Farfrae in Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge."
COMMENT:
An elementary student essay marred by some confusions--e.g., Henchard is described as a "large-scale hay and grain trusser"--and given to a simplistic moralizing that concludes: "Perhaps Hardy has created a valuable lesson for rash, impulsive people in The Mayor of Casterbridge."
