Types of obscurity in Thomas hardy's Jude the obscure and Maurice Blanchet’s Thomas the obscure

الملخص EN

This study is an attempt to view the concept of 'obscurity' as reflected in two fictions belonging to two different writers with different intellectual ideologies and artistic backgrounds.

As the present study shows, each novel betrays its own type of obscurity and careful inspection illuminates both the conscious and unconscious manifestations of this topic as well as their grounds.
