Unlike the barren and forbidding moors elsewhere in England, Return of
the Native's Egdon Heath attires itself in vibrant wildflowers, mossy
hillsides, winding streams, arching footbridges, and undulant meadows.
An enchantress would be at home in this place, but not Eustacia Vye,
portrayed by Zeta-Jones. Though coveted by every man in Egdon Heath --
and every boy old enough to stare -- the beautiful Eustacia longs for
the smoking chimneys and broad stone buildings of Paris. When a native
of
Egdon Heath, Clym
Yeobright Ray Stevenson, returns from his job in Paris as a jeweler, Vye
stuns him with her beauty and marries him in hopes of persuading him to
take her to Paris. But, alas, Clym is a clod at heart.
