The Victorian era has been considered by many critics as well as the Golden period for Novels,not only in quantity but also in quality. English novel found it's supreme output in the form.
Thomas Hardy ranks among the prominent novelist of this era.Far From The Madding Crowd is a widely read story that presents rustic life effectively. Almost all the characters of this novel are directly or indirectly connected with profession of farming.Gabriel Oak is an expert Farmer, Shepherd & Bailiff.
The Novel's hero Gabriel Oak's profession marked by his humble & honest ways.he has exceptional skills with animals & farming.he is unparalleled character in the loyalty. He is Bathsheba's first suitor. Later the bailiff on her farm & finally her husband at very end of the novel. He is characterized by an incredible ability to read the natural world & control it without fighting against it. He occupies the position of quite obscures throughout most of the book, yet he knows just when to stop in to save Bathsheba & other from the troubles.
When the novel begins Gabriel possess a farm of ship but soon he looses his ship when his faithful dogs turns unfaithful & attacked the ship.but being a skillful farmer he can handle any responsibility at a farm very well.that's why in spite of loosing farm he doesn't suffer rare turning the situation leads him to be a Shepherd at Bathsheba's farm.she dismisses him from the farm, but soon she realises that there is no option for Gabriel & therefore she sent her servant to call him back only he can cure the shift at the farm.
Gabriel falls in love with Bathsheba. He also tries to convenes her & declare his love before her but she doesn't show any interest among there. He is a true lover who is mature & patient.
As a result of his pure love for Bathsheba Oak gets married her at the end of the novel.
In pastoral novel, his character suit the best for he has a lots of abilities & skills that are required in the central character of rustic novel.
Thank You.
