"Elfride Swancourt is stuck in a love triangle between Stephen Smith, a socially inferior and ambitious young man who shares her background, and Henry Knight, an older, established man who happens to be a relative of her stepmother. Elfride is unable to decide if she should follow her heart or pay heed to her parents and society’s wishes. A Pair of Blue Eyes was published in 1873 and is Thomas Hardy’s third novel."
