Basically the pain of life was far more common than the pleasure of life. Hardy was famous for his unrelenting bleak view of life. Consider the character of Henchard. Henchard dies alone, his feelings and love generally left unrequited. His life truly could be summed up by a few moments of "happiness was an occasional episode in general drama of pain."
