Thomas Hardy was one of the greatest realistic writers and poets in Victorian age. The Son’s Veto was his best short story. Throughout the short story Hardy showcased his ability to present tragedy with the brutal honesty of a modern writer. This paper mainly analyzes the personal factors from the perspective of the deficiencies of Sophy’s characters and the social factors that lead to Sophy’s tragedy.
