Summary/Abstract: Eustacia Vye is the heroine of The Return of the Native. She is the most impressive figure of the book. If Sue Bridehead of Jude the Obscure is the subtlest of Hardy’s female characters, Eustacia has the deepest force. There is no doubt about the supreme success of the character of Eustacia. In her dark beauty Hardy has pointed one of his most memorable portraits. The present paper is aimed to study the character of Eustacia Vye.
