!!''The Return of the Native'' contains the following tropes:
* DeusAngstMachina: Every main character has an unhappy ending. Eustacia and Wildeve die, and Clym goes mad. The couples are ill-matched.
* LoveDodecahedron
* MommasBoy: Clym
* PurpleProse
* RedOniBlueOni: Thomasin and Eustacia. Thomasin is calm, good and contented. Eustacia is wild, selfish and passionate. Thomasin has chestnut hair, Eustacia is black-haired. Arguably Eustacia, who was intended to be the villain, is more sympathetic. Hardy seems to have been more attracted to her despite himself.
* RevisedEnding: Hardy originally wanted Thomasin to remain a widow, but was urged by his publishers to fill up more pages and get Thomasin to marry the reddleman.
* SceneryPorn: The entire first chapter is about the heath.
* SweetPollyOliver: Eustacia disguises herself as a boy to act a role, so she can meet Clym who has just returned home from Paris.
* TheIdealist: Clym. He returns home to educate the villagers, but in vain. Arguably Eustacia as well, who loves Clym because she thinks he is her ticket to going abroad.
