"The Mayor of Casterbridge" tells the story of Michael Henchard, a grain trader who, in a moment of drunken folly, sells his wife, Susan, and their child at a fair. Regretting his choice, he vows to never drink again and works his way up to become the mayor of Casterbridge. However, his past eventually catches up with him when Susan returns with their daughter, Elizabeth-Jane. As Henchard's fortunes rise and fall, the story explores themes of fate, pride, and redemption, culminating in dire consequences for Henchard as he grapples with his mistakes and the impact on those around him.
