Gabriel Oak is the hero of Thomas Hardy's novel Far From The Madding Crowd. Hardy has spent more space and more pain on the depictions of Oak's characters. In chapter 4, during conversation between capital and Mrs Hurst,the relative of Bathsheba. Gabriel introduced him as loyal and devoted to Bathsheba, also solid and dependable as a Oak Tree to Mrs Hurst. He does not know how to flats a woman when he says," I'm only an every-day sort of man" that means he is down-to-earth, dutiful,honest and straightforward. It is gladable if Bathsheba marries him but hearing the words of Mrs.Hurst that he has understood Bathsheba has dozen and more admirers. So, Gabriel drowned into the sea of thinking that is it possible for an 'every- day sort of man' can achieve Bathsheba's love as a first-comer. But ultimately Gabriel reached his destination to marry Bathsheba at the end of the Novel.
