The story explores the tragic consequences of impulsive decisions made under the influence of alcohol through the life of Michael Henchard. After auctioning his wife and daughter in a drunken stupor, he vows to abstain from alcohol for twenty-one years. As he rises to become the Mayor of Casterbridge and a prosperous merchant, the unexpected return of his family triggers a dramatic decline in his fortunes. This classic tale from Hardy's Wessex novels highlights themes of regret, redemption, and the lasting impact of one's choices.
