What a lovely and kind girl! She did nothing wrong but she
2、had to bear all these adversities that she didnt deserve. At that time I was just a naive little girl in junior high school. Now reviewing this famous novel again, I realize that there is still much to be found and thought about in it. Great as Hardy is, he definitely wanted to tell readers more tha
3、n a tragic story purely.Tess is really a tragic figure in the book TESS of the dUrberwilles. She was seduced by a so-called gentlemanAlec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong becaus
4、e before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy f
5、arm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didnt agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and lifeAngel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in
6、the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasnt satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a wom
7、an long time ago and asked for Tesss forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgi
8、ven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.Without Angels love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasnt important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he re
9、gretted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too lateAlec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tesss trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh
10、of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character
11、 was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!Tess didnt want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and thats all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it
12、was even more serious than Tesss crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tesss girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too wea
13、k! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate? I believe it was Tess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of
14、destruction. But Tess should have led a better life if she dont treat herself as a satellite of men. How stupid is she to spend her life waiting for a man who betrayed her and escaped away when she was dying for help! When there is no help offered by men, women should fight on their own instead of w
15、aiting for mens mercy and forgiveness since there is nothing needed to be forgiven.In old China there was a culture, which didnt think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you as
16、ked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands home and be their wives some day sooner or later.
17、 So they were extremely hard on girls.Women should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasnt, then s
18、he would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rightsWomens tragedy will never come to an end until they treat themselves as totally independent, which means they can lead a normal life with or without men.
