==The Plot==
Hardy's characters, some deeply flawed, struggle throughout the film against accidents of fate and with difficult moral dilemmas.
This film emphasises the constant struggle of Hardy's characters to get past the accidents of fate as in a Christian morality play. Difficult dilemmas require each character to summon up an enormous amount of forgiveness which, in many instances, is impossible to achieve. As in the original story, Michael Henchard, in a drunken moment, auctions his wife, Susan, and infant child to a passing seaman. Years later, Susan meets up with an apparently contrite Henchard and their future could have been set on a positive path had Henchard been able to get past his ingrained selfishness. But Henchard cannot. Henchard reverts to his original stubborn and unyielding character, thereby sabotaging everything to do with this relationship. In this version of the story, Henchard appears to be aware of his defects of character but, in the end, is unable to get past them because the traditional social tool of forgiveness constantly eludes him.
