THOMAS HARDY’S NOVELS†is to apply the writers’ knowledge on literature and to
show   their interest in   reading novels. The writers transfered not only   their limited
knowledge in analysing novels as literary works but also building the awareness of the
importance of reading habit to their students of Unswagati because all of them take the
subject of Introduction to English Literature.   Reading and analyzing novel is really
beneficial for students that   both can improve the students reading skill but also their
English ability, moreover, they will have the ability in criticizing the novel from
different views. In brief, it will also improve their critical thinking. Afterwards, by
describing the characters and their attitudes toward each other and how the
surroundings influence them, we also learn about their culture. The theory that is used
in analysing those novels is from Harvey, Murphy, Klarer, and Lodge. The method that
is applied in analysing the characters and the surroundings is descriptive qualiative in
which the writers take the data by reading the three novels, explain in details about the
characters and the surroundings involved in the story and some other elements
supported the completeness of the story.
