Agnostic and independent, she refuses to legalise their arrangement by marriage. The boy comes to live with his father Jude, and Sue.

Jude learns that Arabella bore a son, whom she named Jude ('Juey') soon after she left Jude. She leaves Phillotson to join Jude in what turns out to be a rough life, moving from place to place as Jude picks up occasional work as a stonemason. The marriage of Sue and Phillotson is not a success, as she refuses to give herself sexually or romantically to her husband. Whilst Jude is enraptured by Sue, and vice versa, she marries Jude's former school teacher, Phillotson, after Jude tells her he is married to Arabella. During this period, he encounters his cousin, Sue Bridehead, who is beautiful and intelligent, and shares his disdain for convention. However, he is rejected by the university based primarily on his lower-class status. He thinks education is available for any man who is willing to work hard. He remains true to his dream and, months later, after his wife's sudden departure, he heads for the city. Circumstances conspire against him, and he is forced into a job as a stonemason and an unhappy marriage to a country girl, Arabella. In the Victorian period, Jude Fawley is a bright young lower-class man who dreams of a university education. In a 2011 interview for theartsdesk, lead actor Christopher Eccleston commented on the film: 'Of all the films I've done, Jude is the one that I'd stand by, the one I'd like people to come back to. The film was shot in late 1995 in Edinburgh and locations in County Durham including Durham Cathedral, Durham City, Ushaw College, Blanchland village and Beamish museum. The original music score was composed by Adrian Johnston. Jude is a 1996 British period drama film directed by Michael Winterbottom, and written by Hossein Amini, based on Thomas Hardy's 1895 novel Jude the Obscure.
