This paper explores the psychological representation of women in the novels of Thomas Hardy through a psycho-feminist lens. Hardy’s female characters are complex individuals shaped by emotional conflict, social repression, and existential struggle. By examining Tess Durbeyfield, Sue Bridehead, and Bathsheba Everdene, the study highlights how Victorian patriarchy influences female consciousness and identity formation. Drawing upon feminist and psychoanalytic theories, the paper argues that Hardy anticipates modern psychological realism by foregrounding women’s inner lives. The analysis reveals that Hardy critiques social norms while portraying the tragic consequences of resistance within a rigid moral framework.
