Not to be confused with Tom Hardy.
Thomas Hardy provides examples of the following tropes:
- Defiled Forever: Tess.
- Downer Ending: And how! Things don't tend to end well in Hardy novels.
- The Lost Lenore: Most of Hardy's poetry is inspired by his first wife, Emma. In a cruel twist of irony, he neglected her for his work while she was alive.
- You Can't Fight Fate: Hardy was an adherent of fatalism, which stated that everything was fated and any attempts to avert it would just cause the fate in question to happen more painfully. This tended to lead to a Downer Ending, as noted above.
