I read far from the Madding Crowd a few months ago and I found it funny it seemed overly melodramatic and Bathsheba and her suitors with the exception of Troy were kind of absurd. Was this intentional?

It's not funny exactly but Hardy is well aware of his characters' flaws. I suppose that Boldwood's love for Bathsheba might be tragicomic.Originally Posted by Fen
