Summary Of The Mayor Of Casterbridge : Thomas Hardy

The Mayor of Casterbridge is the grim story of the rise and fall of one and only one man—Michael Henchard, the mightiest and perhaps, the most impressive and pathetic of all the tragic heroes of Thomas Hardy. The entire superstructure of the novel revolves around this grand inspiring character who suffers – but suffers with a dignified glamour – falls but falls gloriously. The concluding sentence of the novel, “Happiness is but an occasional episode in the general drama of pain”, sums up the entire philosophy of Hardy.
