The majority of "persons", so it seems, go as so far as to play on that doubt and say we are bad, even though we are more ethical than that "other directed" string pulling majority of cookie cutter "well adjusted". It seems to about, in part, one of those of us, who take one step forward and get knocked 10 steps backwards And what is reflexive in so many, perhaps the majority of homo sapiens, is to exploit those with that chronic, over active conscience, that morbid constant doubt which leaves some of us so exhausted and vulnerable. Jude is one who suffers from what we may be label today as morbid scrupulosity or ocd or whatever.maybe i am totally off. Along with "naturalism" or realism, and a grimness(well at least in Jude) sympathy also stand out in Hardy's novels Far from the Madding Crowd is the one that comes closest to a happy ending. Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure are my favorites by Hardy.
