Hardys Presentation of Bathsheba and Fannys Experiences in Far from t

Hardys Presentation of Bathsheba and female genitalss Experiences in Far from the Madding CrowdHow does this novel die the social reality of the time?In this essay I forget look at Thomas Hardys Far from the MaddingCrowd in the first section, I exit look at the varied ways Hardyportrays Bathsheba and Fannys experiences. Since Hardy ground thisnovel in the 1840s, and being true to history, it does reveal a dole outabout the social reality of the time. However, Hardy could have adifferent perspective, as he is writing in the 1870s, which may have touch on his view on the 1840s social ideal.Fanny is offered approximately as a complete contrast to Bathsheba Fannywants to get married (though this could possibly be be dress she ispregnant), she has no mvirtuosoy, no home and no family, while Bathshebahas allthing (except the family) that Fanny doesnt have, includingher sheik too, Troy.Bathsheba at the beginning represents a very rare kind of squeamishwoman, one who is proud, str ong and independent. While Fanny is thenave and fallen woman. As you mount up through the novel, you see apeculiar change coming everyplace both women, they seem to change theircharacters, Bathsheba becoming more like Fanny, and Fanny becomingmore like Bathsheba. Fanny shows her strength as she almost pullsherself down the road by the will of her mind, holding onto the railshe advanced, thrusting one hand forward, then the other, leaning overit whilst she dragged her feet on beneath a lesser woman would havejust sat down and given up, nevertheless she shows us her strength of characteras she tricks her body into making the steps, that would exit her evernearer, to her death, so to speak.. Bathsheba however, allows herselfto b... ... Even through the action of the characters,especially the males, you crapper see how difficult it was for a female inthe 1840s society, the stir Bathsheba cause when she walks into thefarmers market for at her first entry the lumbering dialogues had ceased, nearly every face turned towards her and again at the farmersmarket your attention is brought to the incident she is the only womanthere the single one of her sex that the mode contained a sign thatwoman were not readily accepted in the farming world, or any placethat had money as its bases.So in conclusion to be a woman in 1840s base on Hardys descriptionwould have been a very trying experience, a womans role was to bedressed up in pretty clothes and displayed, never to do anything butsit at home and do the needle work, never to go and try somethingdifferent. To be seen and not heard.
