An undocumented secondary-school student essay by [name deleted] titled, "Thomas Hardy: Jude the Obscure." The author is now a student at Duke University, Durham, NC, USA.
COMMENT:
This rambling and unoriginal essay concludes with the following two sentences: "Most people will be able to identify gradually with the characters of Jude and Sue, as they come to realize that the two are not merely star-crossed lovers of a novel lodged firmly in the imagination of the writer only, but two very human, very pitiable people whose spirits were 'killed by the gods for their sport.' My friend thinks this is too extremely long."
