Social circumstances and an unhappy marriage repeatedly frustrate his hopes. Jude's later relationship with the intelligent and unconventional Sue Bridehead places both characters in conflict with Victorian attitudes toward marriage, religion and respectability. Bleak and deeply moving, the novel questions social institutions and examines the painful consequences of denying individuals the freedom to shape their own lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216647307603,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421248733523,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/jude-the-obscure-2018-folio-society-2425","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
