Do You Think That Hardy's Use of Coincidence Detracts from His Artistic Achievements?
1,506 words, approx. 5 pages
 Thomas Hardy is a very intriguing writer for one simple reason: He is flawed to the extreme, and his notorious use of coincidence is a perfect example of this artistic flaw. Tess of the d'Urbervilles is saturated with coincidences to really emphasize Tess' ever-increasing plight and agony, as well as her humiliation. Hardy's use of coincidence ranges from one extreme to another: sometimes they are so subtle that they are interesting to read; mostly, they're exaggerated and laboured.
