1.2.6 The discussion of the theme of love should include the following points, among others:

The novel explores different sorts of love, showing how each type of love comes from a different set of values of each individual.

Bathsheba is central to the types of love which she experiences with different men.

She represents proud love through her vanity.

She is flattered and infatuated by Troy which nearly becomes her downfall. Troy is cruel and uncaring towards Fanny and Bathsheba.

Gabriel Oak represents selfless love as he loves Bathsheba unconditionally and is very supportive.

Farmer Boldwood's love is extreme and selfish. He forces his love on Bathsheba.

NOTE: For full marks, the response must be well-substantiated and make

reference to the story. A candidate can score 1 or 2 marks for a

response which is not well substantiated. The candidate's

interpretation must be grounded in the novel.

(3)

1.2.7 Open-ended.

Accept a relevant response which shows an understanding of the character Boldwood, among others:

Yes. Boldwood is a selfish man who concentrates mainly on his

feelings. He is constantly told by Bathsheba that she does not love him

but he continues to force himself on her. He is obsessed and becomes irrational when Bathsheba is in the

mourning period for her husband. He continues asking and forcing her to marry him or wear his engagement ring. His obsession with Bathsheba ends up destroying others too; he kills Troy who comes back for his wife.

OR No.

Boldwood does not approve of Troy' behaviour of lust and greed.

He knows him to be ill-treating women e.g. Fanny Robin died in an institution carrying Troy's child.

He knows that Troy does not care about Bathsheba but cares about the money he gets from her, which he also misuses.

At the party Troy arrives and demands that Bathsheba should leave with him and even though Bathsheba does not agree, he forces her. Boldwood then shoots him.

Boldwood did not think that Troy would come back, he had so much hope that Bathsheba would marry him in the end.
