The Return of the Native (1878) returns readers to the fictional Edgon Heath, a quiet village on the English countryside, where a taboo tale of thwarted desire pits societal norms against humanity's natural appetites.
Through a cast of tragic characters, Hardy constructs a web of deceit and heartbreak in the quiet village of Edgon Heath, its denizens shackled by their conflicting desires for romance and status. Eustacia Vye takes center stage, her agency and flawed ideals propelling the plot along towards its deadly conclusion. To undercut these notably modern themes and characters, the novel also retains an air of classical tragedy. The more each character struggles against their fate, the more they are ensnared by the tendrils of time, place, and action. Those who wish to leave the quiet village to live a lavish life find themselves trapped, while those who wish only to live by their good works find a tumultuous world that refuses to accept them. It is a cautionary tale, a clear warning that when ephemeral societal norms trump humanity's fundamental drive towards passion and love, only grief will follow.
