The Mayor of Casterbridge is a true reflection of a turbulent time, where two protagonists, driven by two combative moralities and instincts, cross their sword at the battlefield of Casterbridge. Interestingly, while one party is keen to carry out the battle till death, the other shows reluctance which makes things more bizarre. In this article, I would try to understand the economic scheme of a protagonist in Marxist framework and show to the readers how the complex current of economic base and superstructure effects and affects changes to the lives of characters in this explosive novel.
