One of Jude Fawley's ambitions in life is a college or university education, but his dreams come crashing down around him when he is forced into marriage with Arabella. The marriage doesn't last long before his new bride abandons him for another type of life. Left with only his destroyed dreams, Jude steps to the location of Christminster, where he finds work as a stonemason. Here, he falls deeply in love with Sue Bridehead, a woman of modern thinking. The two thwart convention and opt to live together instead of marrying; this results each of them being shunned by modern culture. Eventually, their lack of convention sends them spiraling into poverty. Jude the Obscure was Thomas Hardy's previous novel. When first published, it was considered highly controversial due to its focus on an unconventional romantic relationship and disregard for the guidelines of society.
