From Bliss to Tragedy : A Study of the Fates of Three of Thomas Hardy's Noble Dames / En studie av tre kvinnoöden i Thomas Hardys A Group of Noble Dames.

Description

This essay explores the choices and fates of three women in Thomas Hardy’s A Group of Noble Dames. The lives of Betty Dornell, Emmeline Oldbourne and Barbara Grebe are all influenced by chance, choice and the interference of their parents and lovers. Despite the similar circumstances of their lives as young, upper-class women, it is shown that their fates vary widely as a result of both choice and chance. Ultimately, however, this essay claims that Hardy allows chance to have the final say in each dame’s destiny.
