Keywords:

Abstract
This study is about Michael Henchard’s frustration with Thomas Hardy the Mayor of Casterbridge. Using a qualitative approach and the theory of regression, the researcher finds that the main character behaves and speaks similarly to his character in his earlier years of life when he began a carrier. Thus, he undergoes a frustration that he behaves like before twenty years ago: abandoning others and escaping to liquor.
