The character of sue

 Sue Bridehead Character Analysis...



                   Sue is character of Jude the obscure... She is cousin of the protagonist Jude. She is charming, lively, intelligent, interesting and attractive in the way that an adolescent girl.

            Sue's parents were divorced and she was raised in London and Christminster. It's impossible not to see other sides to her personality. She is self centred, wanting more than she is willing to give, she is intelligent but her knowledge is fashionable and her use of it is shallow. She is outspoken but afraid to suit her actions to her words. 

            She is intelligent, unconventional young woman whom Jude loves and lives with but who is twice married to Phillotson.

Characteristics:-

1] intelligent

2] Charming

3] lively

4] Interesting

5] attractive

6] self centered

7] fashionable

                       Sue embraces the same rigid religious views that she criticized when she was younger and trying to build her life with Jude. She chooses to pursue a sexual relationship with Phillotson, even though she absolutely does not want to and he does not ask it of her. In the end, guilt forces Sue to transform herself into all of the things she most seemed to hate in her earlier life. Even though she may survive the end of the novel, she's no longer the Sue Bridehead we have come to know and Jude has come to love—and if that's not tragedy, we don't know what is.
