Henchard's hamartia, or tragic flaw, is his pride and impulsiveness. These characteristics lead him to make rash decisions, such as selling his wife, Susan, in a moment of anger and desperation. His inability to reconcile his past mistakes and his struggle with vulnerability ultimately contribute to his downfall and isolation throughout Thomas Hardy's novel "The Mayor of Casterbridge."
