Jude the Obscure is fiction. It tells a story that is not based on actual facts or real people's experiences. It's a creation of the author to entertain and explore various themes through fictional characters and their circumstances.
Jude the Obscure as a modern novel shows a break from traditional narrative structures. It has a rather bleak and unromantic view of life. For instance, the relationship between Jude and Sue is not a typical love story but is full of contradictions and moral dilemmas. This reflects the modernist tendency to question and subvert the old ideals of love and relationships. Moreover, it portrays the individual's struggle against society's norms in a very realistic way.
Jude Fawley is the most important character. He is the central figure whose dreams and struggles drive the story. Then there is Sue Bridehead. She has a complex relationship with Jude and her own independent and rebellious nature adds to the plot. Phillotson is also important. He is involved in the love triangle with Jude and Sue, and his actions and decisions have an impact on the story.
Well, in 'Jude the Obscure', a major theme is the power of society over the individual. Jude's life is largely shaped by the social expectations and restrictions of his time. He wants to study at the university in Christminster but is held back by his lack of money and social standing. The theme of love is complex too. His relationship with Sue is unconventional and goes against the norms, leading to a great deal of internal and external conflict. Plus, the novel touches on the theme of despair, as Jude gradually loses hope in his dreams and in life itself.
The main reason is the characters' unfulfilled dreams and the harsh social circumstances they face. Jude's constant struggle and failure to achieve his goals, along with the restrictions imposed by society, lead to a tragic outcome.
Jude the Obscure represents modernity as a novel by challenging the established social and moral codes. It doesn't simply accept the status quo but rather questions the fairness of the class system, the institution of marriage, and religious dogma. This kind of critical examination of society was becoming more prevalent in modern novels. Also, the way it portrays the characters' inner lives, with all their insecurities and doubts, is in line with the modernist focus on the psychological state of the individual.
Well, one major difference is the focus on the protagonist's intellectual and educational aspirations. In Jude the Obscure, this aspect is central and drives the plot, which isn't as prominent in other Hardy novels. Also, the ending is particularly bleak and tragic, setting it apart.
I don't know who St Jude Beckett is in this story as I haven't heard of it before. It could be a fictional character or a real person that only a small group of people are familiar with.

The following is a detailed introduction of these novels:
1."Book of Troubled Times": Holding a sword, drinking in Jianghu, slender waist and light palm.
The young man carried a long saber on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist. He strode forward, but the Jianghu in his heart was vaguely difficult to see.
Turning a page in the book of troubled times, it would rain for decades in the Jianghu.
Suddenly looking back, the world has been split into pieces.
2.<<Spirit Realm Walker>>: From ancient times to the present, it is rumored that there is a Spirit Realm in the world.
Regarding the Spirit Realm, there were many different opinions among the famous people of the past dynasties.
"From Qi to Tang, the mountains are desolate and the spirit realm is lonely. Few people visit."
"Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by."
3.<<The Tang's Table>> The people of the world and the affairs of the world are just the dishes on the table of the Tang people.
Although the original ingredients had the original flavor of food, Yun Chu still believed that the most delicious food still needed to be divided, cooked, and handled. The food that was finally served on the table was the food that most suited the stomach of the Tang people.
Steaming, braising, stir-frying, stewing... There were many cooking methods in the kitchen.
Whether it was Goguryeo, the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Tiele…or even whales, tigers, sharks, and hungry wolves, the Great Tang was a furnace that could cook them all into peerless delicacies…
In addition to Li Zhi, Wu Wei, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and other peerless seasonings, there would always be one thing that you would never forget, regardless of color, fragrance, or taste.
Yun Chu hoped that she would definitely have a seat at such a luxurious banquet!
Now, the delicious food had been cooked. Yun Chu laid out the napkin, picked up the deer knife, and closed her eyes. She was ready to enjoy an unprecedented feast to satisfy her hungry stomach.
4."King of Familiar":"King of Familiar" was a new book that was as light as a spring, continuing his usual style of writing about beasts. Every story was very exciting and made people immerse themselves in it. In terms of character design, each character had their own unique charm and personality, which made people unable to help but be attracted. The plot was also very complete and meticulous, making it impossible to stop. This book surprised me. It exceeded my expectations. There were both warm little things that happened around me and blind spots beyond my imagination. The main character's personality was also very likable, and I couldn't help but want to continue chasing after him. I strongly recommend this book. It is definitely a novel that cannot be missed.
5:"Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": The title of the book is rubbish. The plot is well written. The protagonist transmigrated to become the third son of the villain. At the beginning, he was kidnapped by the "ice woman". In order to cover up the after-effects of possession, he brought his sister to jump off a cliff to obtain the cultivation method from the opportunity point in his memory and become an innate Dao body. Then he returned to the capital (temporarily stopped here) and transmigrated to meet a beautiful woman. He jumped off a cliff to snatch the treasure. The routine is old-fashioned but the writing is not bad.
4-star expectation️️️️
6. National Forensics: Seedlings and Food. There was a systematic forensic system. The male protagonist, Jiang Yuan, was a resident of Jiang Village. He was a large demolition family. There was a civil servant who went ashore. There was a forensic system. If the truth was found, the victim's skills could be extracted (not all victims had it). Therefore, it was more specialized and versatile. However, it did not feel like he had a golden finger. It felt good.
7."Heroine Wait": Guan Guan's new book has many female leads. The process of conquering the beautiful women one by one is written in detail and moving. The plot setting is often ridiculous and reasonable. The images of the female leads were distinct and there was no facial makeup. Niaoniao's setting was very pleasing. Of course, Flying Heaven was even better.
[Rating: Five stars]
8."Mantang Colorful Colors":"Mantang Colorful Colors" was a work that traveled through the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong. It cut into civil cases and portrayed the struggle between the Crown Prince and Li Linfu. This novel stood out among the time-travel novels in recent years. It was highly praised for its intricate plot design and its description of the shadow behind the Tang Dynasty. However, the relatively flat character and the female character's over-reliance on the male protagonist were its obvious flaws. Even so, the author still showed considerable talent in the aspects of character description, detailed description of the ecology of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and plot design. Especially when the transmigrator's soul had entered the Great Tang, the intense opening had left a deep impression on everyone. He hoped that the author would be able to take his future works to the next level and amaze the readers even more.
9."Hidden Dead Corner": Get lost, new book.
Sci-fi horror genre? The protagonist was reborn in a sci-fi version of the modern world. He was captured by a strange space and would enter it from time to time to face monster attacks. However, the protagonist had a golden finger and was currently fighting inside.
[Why I'm reading this book: To be honest, with the toxic setting at the beginning, if it wasn't written by Scram, I would have abandoned the book immediately. I can only say that this is the power of the brand. It allows you to have more tolerance and try more.] I had the same opinion as many people. Scram was very suitable for creating this kind of strange and scary atmosphere. It was quite accurate. However, it seemed that he did not like to write this. At least, the current chapter was quite good in this aspect.
[Why not read this book: The character of the little fairy sister at the beginning is too disgusting. Speaking of which, the sisters in Get Lost don't seem like normal people.] Secondly, it was a bit of a noob to write about the mecha. It was also because of this that many people had the ptsd of the mecha. However, he had said in the group that he would not write about the mecha. At present, the cheat in this book was more like the Masked Rider, so he would have to wait and see. There was also something that everyone knew. He was a typical example of someone who was stunning at the beginning and weak at the middle. He could not guarantee what would happen after that.
In general, the grain would be evaluated according to the situation.
"Final Divine Duty": The cosmic mecha was as strong as a dragon, and the gods and devils in the abyss whispered and roared. In this era where new and old techniques, technology and divine power collided, Lu Yuan brought along an attribute panel that allowed him to change classes indefinitely and stumbled down. "Class [Martial Arts Grandmaster]+ Material [Abyss Nine-Headed Dragon Heart], can be upgraded to [Dark Dragon Sect]..." Lu Yuan looked at his hands that were gradually covered with black scales. The black hair on his back danced wildly without any wind. His dark red eyes stared at the human-shaped mechanical body that streaked across the night sky like a meteor. He smiled and muttered to himself in a low voice,"Now..." I should be able to tear apart a Mech with my bare hands…"
11."Beyond Time":"Beyond Time" is an immortal cultivation novel that immerses people. It transcends life and death, transcends heaven and earth, and leads readers into a world full of mystery and the unknown. The protagonist of the story, Xu Qing, survived in the apocalypse. He ate vultures and wore dead people's clothes to survive. However, he did not give up hope. Instead, he continued to search and finally found a bamboo slip that recorded the cultivation method. From then on, he embarked on the path of cultivation and fought against the pollution of the broken face. It was extremely dangerous, but as long as he could survive, he was willing to face everything. In the story, he met his first living person, a scavenger squad, and joined the survivor camp. However, there were also disputes and discrimination in this place. However, as he grew stronger step by step, Xu Qing gradually revealed his strength and wisdom. On the whole, the novel gave people a dark and depressing feeling, but at the same time, it also gave people a desire for survival and expectations for the future. With his unique imagination and creativity, the author, Er Gen, brought us into this world beyond time, making us think about the meaning of life and death, and what is waiting for us outside time. This book was not only novel, but also fascinating. It was definitely a good book not to be missed.
"This Game Is Too Real":"This Game Is Too Real" is a book with an interesting plot, giving people a feeling of being nurtured. The protagonist transmigrated to the wasteland and recruited players from Earth to expand. The biggest highlight of the book was that the characters always thought that they were playing a game. This kind of god-like perspective made people unable to stop. Although some of the technology in the book, such as power armor, was a hit, the author's description of the supporting characters was too messy, giving people a sense of disorder. However, the author was not very willing to listen to opinions, which might cause some readers to feel troubled. In general, this book showed the story of summoning the fourth catastrophe in the context of the apocalypse in the wasteland. It gave people an interesting feeling. Although there were some settings that I didn't understand, it didn't affect the overall reading experience. The recommendation score was 8.3 points. It was a book worthy of recommendation.
Red Heart Sky Patrol: Red Heart Sky Patrol is an unforgettable novel. The author used a unique perspective and writing style to set the story in a world full of mystery and fantasy. With the disappearance of the demon race and the dragon race in the ancient times as the background, the story described the protagonist Jiang Wang in the new era of the Taoist calendar. Facing the predicament of the country's system reform and social unrest, he showed his perseverance and determination to pursue the truth. While the author described the story, he also integrated deep thoughts about history, society, and human nature, so that readers could not only enjoy the wonderful story, but also get inspiration and thinking. The plot of the entire book was smooth and fascinating. After reading it in one breath, one could not help but praise the author's talent and creativity. Whether it was the story in the book or the life, emotions, psychology, society, and history outside the book, Red Heart Sky Patrol could bring readers rich insights and thoughts. In short, this was a good book worth recommending.
"Ring of Fate":"Ring of Fate" is a mysterious horror novel produced by Squid. It continues the wonderful plot of "Lord of the Mysteries."

The main character, Lu Mian, and his sister lived in a quiet and peaceful town, but an unexpected discovery broke the cycle of fate and revealed the hidden darkness of the town.

17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth?" The Reborn Jiang Qin Will Never Be a Lackey
The first thing I did was tear up the love letter to the school belle in front of me
I don't even love dogs
Look at money, start a business to make money
The more you don't think about something, the more you have something
I'll never be a sea king after rebirth
Showing off in front of people, it's so cool, it's worth watching
"Deep Sea Ember" was a fascinating novel. The author's new book, Dayanzhu, showed a turning point and a funny point in a strange and abnormal world, making people unable to stop. The plot of the story unfolded slowly, and the world view and fog were fascinating. Big Eyeball's book was as outstanding as ever.
