In Jude Fawley's periphery - the abandonment of his wife, in her forced renunciation of university studies, in the illegal, tortuous, and vagrant relationship she is undertaking with her cousin - Thomas Hardy wanted to base "a tragic fable" with the purpose of "showing that, as Diderot says, civil law should be only the wording of a natural law.".
