"Two on a Tower" by Thomas Hardy tells the story of the unconventional romance between Felice Charmond, a beautiful and intelligent woman, and the much younger Manston, an aspiring astronomer. Set against the backdrop of a rural English landscape, their relationship is fraught with societal pressures and personal dilemmas. Felice, struggling against societal norms, grapples with her feelings for Manston while he navigates his ambitions and the weight of their differences in age and social standing. The novel explores themes of love, loneliness, and the pursuit of dreams, ultimately highlighting the tension between personal desires and societal expectations.
