In "The Mayor of Casterbridge," Thomas Hardy narrates the tragic tale of Michael Henchard, a man whose impulsive actions lead to his downfall. After drunkenly selling his wife and child at a fair, Henchard seeks redemption by becoming a successful mayor in the town of Casterbridge. However, his past continues to haunt him, and his relationships with his wife, Susan, their daughter, and his rival, Lucetta, become increasingly complicated. As Henchard grapples with his own flaws and the consequences of his decisions, the novel explores themes of fate, pride, and the struggle for identity in a changing world.
