Though his view of women has certain advancement,as a Victorian male writer, he still cannot deprive of his traditional male angle and patriarchal thoughts. The deep-rooted patriarchal ideology results in his biggest problem that he sees women are innately weaker. In Far from the Madding Crowd, Hardy reinforces his patriarchal ideology by depicting the female protagonist Bathsheba's conforming to traditional gender roles. Though she dares to choose her own life, the result is not good. And because of her choice of marriage, people suffer from endless bitterness. Hardy is praising her independence and at the same time, implying this unconventionality is not supposed to be accepted at that time.展开更多
