Mayor Of Casterbridge Questions 5

Henchards Will in, The Mayor of Casterbridge, by Thomas Hardy in nearly respects is illegitimate and should not be accepted. closely of the put acrosss on Henchards part is excluding his only family member, if you look at Elizibeth- Janes solution to this That Elizibeth- Jane Farfrae be not told of my death, or made to grieve on history of me(Pg 251 Ln 20-21) ,you realize how wrong that request really is. O I would have minded so much if it had been not for my unkindness at that last parting (Pg. 251 Ln. 33-34), by the devoted response we realize how much Elizibeth really cared for her father heretofore in his death and his last parting. Obviously it would be a wrong and awful thing to hold his only young woman and loving family member not to know of his death, the request is radically insane and only made stupidly out of anger. The most fanatic of all of these requests made is that no man recollect him. In this request we realize that he is just liberation his anger and that evidently it would be unjust and also vicious for the request to be set. Because of his obvious state of mind and because that request is just not possible we realize that the will cant be finalized and that it would be impossible to take note that statement. That no sexton be asked to toll the bell & that nobody is wished to see my body (Pg.251 Ln. 27-28), is obviously wrong and even racist.



Henchards radical attitude toward the will lick up two main reasons why the will cant be followed. One, because of it racist and insane requests that are not lawfully permitted, and two, it would be impossible and even horrible on any account to hold your only family away from knowing. Obviously because of the reasons stated it would be impossible as well as illegal to follow Michael Henchards will, therefore Michael Henchard can not be given the obligation to deserve any of the requests on his will.
