Based on a study of the characters from Hardy’s later novels (Jude and Tess in particular), it argues that the latter mainly represent man confronted with destiny, in accordance with the genre of tragedy which Hardy wanted to transfer to the realm of the novel. I show that these novels question the possibility of creating an ethical life, that is to say, in Aristotle’s terms, a good life. This questioning is then articulated with the aesthetics of Hardy’s novels: it is that very aspect of Hardy’s work which allows to see it as truly creative and able to give examples of action – rather than realistic. Cet article tente d’explorer la portée proprement anthropologique – et non ethnologique – de l’œuvre hardyenne. Il s’appuie notamment sur une étude des personnages dans les derniers romans pour montrer qu’ils sont surtout des représentations de l’homme face à son destin, conformément à l’enjeu de la tragédie que Hardy voulait transposer en roman. Il montre alors que ce que ces romans questionnent, c’est la possibilité de créer une vie éthique, c’est-à-dire bonne selon les termes d’Aristote. Cette interrogation est ensuite mise en relation avec l’esthétique des romans hardyens : c’est cet aspect de l’œuvre hardyenne qui en fait une œuvre pleinement créatrice, capable de proposer des modèles d’action, et non pas réaliste. |
