Additionally, the novel is discussed within the scope of the critical approaches “Marxist Literary Criticism”, “Reader Response Literary Criticism” and “Feminist Literary Criticism”. By focusing on the main character of the novel Henchard, the author not only presents the ambitions and struggles of the members of the lower class but also criticizes their wrong manners towards obstacles in their daily lives. His novel, The Mayor of Casterbridge is one of his outstanding works demonstrating the ordinary lives of the lower class very explicitly and conspicuously. Thomas Hardy is one of the successful and famous English writers who contribute to the great development of this genre. In fact until that era novel has not been as common as it is in the Victorian period.

Jack O’Connell as Paddy Mayne (centre) with Jock Lewes (played by Alfie Allen) and David Stirling (played by Connor Swindells)Īnd yet six months later his Victoria Cross was downgraded to his fourth DSO instead. His recommendation was supported by witness statements, including from Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, celebrating his ‘brilliant military leadership and cool calculating courage’. Some say Mayne was personally responsible for destroying 100 aircraft, and he’s reputed to have destroyed more German planes during the Second World War than the RAF’s top ace.Īfter one particularly perilous mission in Germany in 1945, in which Mayne drove a jeep – all guns blazing – in full view of the enemy to rescue two wounded comrades, clearing a path for a Canadian division to advance as he did so, he was recommended for the Victoria Cross. These earned him the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) with three bars (each of which are added to the original DSO), making him one of only seven British servicemen to receive this award four times during World War Two. He proved to be a gift to the newly formed SAS, pioneering the use of military jeeps to conduct surprise hit-and-run raids to destroy enemy aircraft and petrol dumps, and leading several successful missions, some of which we’ll see in the course of SAS: Rogue Heroes. A boxer, a Northern Ireland rugby star and reportedly an excellent shot, Robert Blair “Paddy” Mayne went into the Second World War with many ideal qualities for a soldier, and also had a reputation as a rambunctious personality. |
