Far from the Madding Crowd
Far from the Madding Crowd tells us a story that happened in a village of Britain. The young farmer, Oak, had fallen in love with a girl named Bathsheba Everdene. Bathsheba was beautiful, but too proud, so she didn’t accept Oak. The girl’s uncle was also a farmer, and she succeeded him after his death, so Bathsheba became very rich. At the same time, Oak lost everything in one night, and Bathsheba became his employer, he worked for her as a shepherd. As he thought that he had chance to be close to Bathsheba, another farmer from a rich family, Boldwood, had came into Bathsheba’s life and he begged her to accept his love and marry him. But Bathsheba gave her love to a Sergeant Troy, and soon they got married. However, Troy had a lover named Fanny Robin, and this caused a series of unhappiness. Troy left their home after Fanny’s death, and Bathsheba lived a painful life since then. Then there was some bad news, people said that Troy had been killed at sea. Boldwood asked her to marry him again, and Bathsheba agreed to marry him if there was no any news about Troy six years later. Troy appeared surprisingly at the party, which Boldwood wanted to ask for Bathsheba’s hand in marriage. Boldwood shot Troy with a gun because of fury, and then he gave himself up to the police. He was judged to be mad, and sent to the prison for life. Finally, Bathsheba became Oak’s wife. And they faced the hard tests of life together.
