capacity for kindness even to strangers whose paths cross. Likewise, Gabriel Oak endures life’s storms and, though they buffet him, emerges unbroken, unlike Boldwood and Bathsheba, who both wreck themselves on misfortune. Similarly, when you are in need of stability and strength in your life- envision the Oak in your mind. Bathsheba fully aware of this quality of Oak’s, uses it to her advantage.

of his vast life, a perfect example of his mere human existence; a section contaminated with nothing besides sin. As I'm sure you've already figured out, I'm talking about David and Bathsheba ( Solomon's mother). Technically, David and Bathsheba should have never married. To clarify, David had an affair with Bathsheba, who was originally Uriah's wife. Later, he couldn't face the consciences of his actions, so he murdered Uriah and tried to cover it up, (2 Samuel 11).
