Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how the novel "The Mayor of Casterbridge" is set in Dorchester, according to its geographical location. It looks at how many significant events occur in the public houses of the town and its historical earthwork - the Ring. It attempts to show that it is easily perceptible that each of these places has the purpose that Hardy indicates.From the Paper:
"The Antelope, although least mentioned, possesses certain a degree of significance. It actually exists in the town itself. Hardy uses this inn as the connection to the outside world - as a coach stop - and this is where Lucetta first arranges to meet Henchard for the return of the letters. 'I shall be in the coach which changes houses at the Antelope...' And indeed this was the actual place where the coach from London to Bristol used to stop. The significance here is that if Lucetta had been present, the story would not advance like this and the Triangle between Henchard, Farfrae and Lucetta would not have been established. This is one inconspicuous turning point of the novel."More papers on "The Mayor of Casterbridge":
