Mood
Explanation and Analysis:
The Return of the Native is a dark novel. The mood is serious, tragic and foreboding right from the outset. Hardy’s Wessex novels almost all have one major thing in common: for the most part, everyone’s fates are sealed. This means—for some characters—that tragedy is inevitable, a fact that quickly becomes clear to the reader.
