• W148300248 abstract "is not only Thomas Hardy's last but probably also his bleakest novel. Already its epigram on frontispiece--namely letter killeth [but spirit giveth life]--can be read as having negative forebodings; it can, however, also be interpreted as commentary on 'nature' of language and on absolute necessity of understanding its founding mechanisms such as absence, difference and deferral if one is lead happy and meaningful life and if one endeavors claim freedom and responsibility construct one's own identity. The subject of this paper thus centers on extent which Hardy's protagonist Fawley, man who desperately clings illusion of transcendental signified, is able understand and put into practice Hardy's epigram, which no less than set forth 'medial', i.e. linguistic, program for in general as well as for its protagonist in particular. In this sense, focus of inquiry will be up now largely neglected discursive construction of an ill-fated identity in discursive universe where did come, because nobody does (J, p. 31) and where taking words literally lethal consequences. It is certainly surprising that closer look at hundreds of articles, essays and monographs about (1) reveals that most of these publications tend ignore eponymous hero of and concentrate instead on Bridehead, perhaps most remarkable feminine portrait in English novel (Southerington, 1971, p. 145). One eminent critic, Mary Jacobus, even speaks of Sue Obscure (Jacobus, 1975, p. 305), and in letter Thomas Hardy himself called his the story (Boumelha, 1982, p. 138). Given this evident neglect of, or even discrimination against, protagonist in Hardy studies, it seems appropriate shift focus of critical attention. Not, however, back humanist phallic and integrated self (Moi, 1990, p. 8), but identity which is insecure, fractured and fraught with problems. Considering norms and social codes of 19th century, there can be no doubt that leads very unconventional and even progressive life. In contrast character such as Michael Henchard in Mayor of Casterbridge, appears consist of complex blend of traditionally and female attributes and continues seek semblance of security throughout his life in world which clearly has become unmoored from natural certitude and in which unappeased spirit in search of articulate paradigms, nothing--not even body's native stresses--can be reliably categorized (Weinstein, 1984, p. 139).(2) Lured primarily by enigmatic Bridehead, is propelled into kind of obscurity which renders his identity as well as his sexuality highly problematic. If this is an extremely unhappy situation for Hardy's protagonist, it have advantage that it puts reader in position first realize and then further explore fact that all labels that 'ticket' person, especially most common ones of gender and class, are false (Higonnet, 1993, p. 4). Applying traditional and female stereotypes (Grimm-Horlacher, 2002, pp. 42-58), there can be little doubt that two main protagonists in are characterized by an odd combination of what Linda Dowling calls male effeminacy and female mannishness (Dowling, 1979, p. 445). The overriding consensus in secondary literature is [that] assumes attitudes of decisive Victorian male, while Jude appears take on qualities of submissive Victorian wife (Mickelson, 1976, p. 5). And in Hardy's novel, is indeed depicted as a ridiculously affectionate fellow (J, p. 85), as thin-skinned, horribly sensitive and as born victim; even complains about being man and is looking for partner on whom he can lean on and look up to (Mickelson, 1976, p. …" @default.
