In the romantic novel "Far From the Madding Crowd," Bathsheba is a naive and somewhat narcissistic young woman. Her opposite, Gabriel Oak, who is an experienced and capable man, falls in love with her early in the book. Throughout the novel he expresses his feelings for her in various ways, and asks her to marry him. However, she refuses him because, though she finds the idea of a wedding appealing, she does not wish to be married and tied down as a wife. Still, Gabriel is always there for her. Her development through the novel, and her relationship with Gabriel eventually convince her of Gabriel's value, and of her reliance on him.
