In the novel âFar From the Crazed Crowdâ, Hardy reveals the great and eternal drama of the relationship between a man and a woman. At one time, the vivid, complicated story of the love triangle of the independent and proud Bathsheba, who inherited the farm in the wilderness of Northern England, the peasant Gabriel Oak and the âalien from urban civilizationâ sergeant Troy became a real literary scandal. Interestingly, Hardyâs novel is still considered scandalous and violates the âfoundations of the foundationsâ of the current society. So how did Hardy manage to touch the strings of the souls of readers of three centuries?
