Is Jude the Obscure the best literary title of all time?

Such a sorrowful beginning to Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure, and, knowing Hardy, we can expect the novel to become increasingly sorrowful, a story of fate and a just man who does not get from life what he dreams of or what he deserves. Hardy is the ultimate author of unfair fate. JtheO (truly one of the greatest of all literary titles, right?) begins with the childhood of the young Jude at age 11 or so, orphaned and unwanted, enamored of his teacher who is leaving town w/ aspirations of becoming a scholar in the university town about 20 "leagues" away - obviously modeled on Oxford/Cambridge. Jude decides he would like to follow that course - he know of none other in his narrow scope of life - and begins teaching himself Latin and Greek - he's pretty bright and, even more so, very determined. He is the classic literary nerd, in fact, seemingly having few friends and no interest outside of his studies. Walking along a path one day with his mind lost in the classics he is startled by an outburst of three young women, laughing at him mockingly, and one, Arabella Donn, throws a pig's penis that slaps him greasily across the cheek (she and her friends are disemboweling pigs to get the chitterlings and other inner organs). This slap seems to mark Jude and seal his fate, binding him in some way to this physical, sexual young woman who is in so many ways his opposite, and potentially his doom. Though I don't think Hardy was religious or spiritual, I think there are obvious religious/spiritual themes running through the first section of JtheO: the yearning for the distant university town, its spires just over the horizon, much like a spiritual yearning for salvation, for one example.
