The two have children and live together as an unmarried couple. Soon an illicit romance begins between them until Sue's husband steps aside finally allowing Jude and Sue to be together openly. Some time later, at the funeral for their common aunt, Sue reveals to Jude that she's desperately unhappy. Broke and denied entrance to the university, he returns to his hometown. Though the two realize their destinies are intertwined, when he reveals his previous marriage, she is deeply hurt and in a perverse act of retaliation, marries another man. Toward this goal, when his wife Arabella leaves him, he moves to Christminster where he meets and falls recklessly in love with Sue, his beautiful and intelligent cousin. Late 19th century England Jude, an intelligent but unworldly stonemason, looks to escape rural poverty by gaining a university education.
