 note = {The villains cannot be the hero in Thomas Hardy’s novels. They are, however, endowed the important role to influence greatly on the life of the heroine. The prototype of the villains is Troy, who deserts Fanny and marries Bathsheba, and leaves his wife after the deaths of Fanny and her child. Unfortunately, he is shot by Boldwood.
Troy’s inheritors―Fitzpiers, Wildeve, and Alec―have common characteristics. All of them are sexually very attractive men.  As they are philanderers, the women loved by them are deserted in the end. Without working hard, they indulge in gambling or romantic adventures with married women.  They will not face any hardships, but escape from the realities, leaving their lands and their family.  Although they win the heroine’s love, their ends except Fitzpiers are miserable deaths.
The villains are negative characters who are not investigated into their psychological problems by Hardy, which makes them unable to be a hero.},
