The novel The Return of the Native takes place in the ancient Eden wasteland in southern England. Eustacia, the granddaughter of the old captain Faye, hates the gloom and desolation of her hometown and wants to live a brilliant life in a big city. Mrs Yao Bo's son Colin used to be the manager of a jewelry store in Paris. Tired of the noisy life in the city, he returned to his hometown and they fell in love at first sight. Eustacia married Colin and hoped to live a luxurious life in Paris. Unexpectedly, Kling was tired of city life for a long time, determined to stay in his hometown and start a school, and became a lumberjack himself. These disappointed Eustacia. In frustration and chagrin, I secretly associate with my old lover Di Wei. Colin found out about it and learned that Eustacia didn't open the door for her visiting mother, which caused the sad and tired old man to be killed by a poisonous snake while resting on his way home, so he angrily drove Eustacia away. Eustacia went to see Di Wei, just as Di Wei had just received an inheritance. They agreed to elope with Paris at night, and both of them drowned on the way. Colin later became a missionary and got spiritual sustenance. Hardy showed that Eustacia's death was neither persecution nor a serious crime committed by an individual, but because she hated the environment in her hometown and the purity and indifference of nature, and merciless nature severely punished her.
