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. So they were extremely hard on girls.Girls 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 wasn’t, then she 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 rights…Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.。

His parents thought much of the education of their son. He grown up in the Dorset shire, so the environment of there became the main backdrop of his writings. His writings often reflecting the change after capitalism intrude the countries in England and the people’s hard life.At first, Hardy wrote some novels, and in his old age, he worked on poets. The novel < Tess of the D'Urbervilles > was published in the year 1891. Thomas Hardy facing the terror of the war and propagating the love-kindness, he is one of the greatest English writers.The summary of the bookAs is known to all, is the most famous novel of Thomas Hardy. Tess comes from a farmer’s family, the Durbeyfields. One day her father, John Durbeyfied learns that they are descended from the D’Urbervilles, an ancient family. Her mo ther urges Tess to claim kinship with the remaining D’Urbervilles, so that Tess could marry a gentleman. Unwillingly, the girl comes in contact with the Stoke, D’Urbervilles. There she meets Alec D’Urbervilles. Having received a job of tending to chickens, Tess stays in the D’Urbervilles. Before long the rich but guileful Alec manages to seduce the girl and make her pregnant. Being humiliated and resolute, T ess returns home, and gives birth to the child, who is called Sorrow but dies soon . Without financial support, Tess has to leave home and goes to work at a distantfarm, where she meets Angel Claire. After Angel persistent pursuit of Tess, the two fall in love. In the wedding night, Tess admits about Alec D’Urbervilles and the child. She begs for forgiveness, but Angel leaves her in disgust. Tess again returns home alone, only find that her family remains impoverished and she even has no place to stay. In the meantime, Alec D’Urbervilles appears again. He promises to support her family, only as a means to make Tess dependent. At the end of hope, the girl jumps into the trap of the shameless man. However, Angel Claire, who is remorseful for his mercilessness comes back, which makes Tess even more desperate. After Angel leaves, she kills Alec. Then she follows Angel and escape with him. They manage to hide for a while in a wood before she is arrested. She is hanged later.In this story, the dramatis persona Tess is a beautiful, virtuous country girl. Angel Claire loves Tess, but his love is selfish, he can’t forgive her wife’s mistake, he forsakes her .Alec D’Urbervilles is an evil person, he makes Tess’s life being a tragedy.The commentThis is a dolorous book.This is a story of love.Tess, the poor girl as innocent as the sleeping birds in the trees, or the small field animals in the hedges, her life destroyed by her relatives, lover and some other people. They say they love her, but they like themselves most. Her parents want her married Alec only because they want her doing some good for the family.

Angle is tess’s true love, but his love also not consummate, hecan’t forgive tess’s mistake, although he had did wrong with a women.Why only the women had to pay? I thought of this problem for a long time. In the 19th England, women had not status, they live very hard because people’s prejudice. Tess is the victim under the not fair environment, she lives with force, and even the law thinks the insults are allowable! At the end of the book, Fortune's wheel bereaves the last thing she had—her life.How to vindicate the women’s right? Expect change the people’s prejudice women must learn to be adamancy and independent. We must know how to take care of ourselves. We must have the ability to feed ourselves, so that we can win the independent of personality and life. And so that we can have a pure au pair love.The word “woman” doesn’t means “puny”!苔丝英文版本读后感篇2in tess of the d’urbervilles, hardy molded a pure, kindhearted image and rather an image brave enough to rebel, to shoulder the responsibility of her action. her unfortuneness was the tragedy of the society, her character and fate. it vividly revealed the persecution towards people after industrial revolution made by the conception of capitalism and traditional moral. following are some of my opinions about the causes to her death.her character and parentage was part of the causein the author’s ideal worl d, tess was the embodiment of beauty and the incarnation of love .she represents all the merits of the villagers in her hometown: beautiful, pure, kind, simple, charitable and tolerant. to love ,she had no egocentric thoughts and didn’t plan to meet her va in wish by marriage .she standedby he dignity and pursue freedom .hardy made the poor, helpless ,humble country girl as the heroin.despite she committed adultery and murder, hardy still claim she was a “pure girl”. this fully showed the author’s sympathy towards tess. hardy elaborately modeled the image of tess and indignantly describes the depression confronted with tess through her short life.tess is a young woman who tends to find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. she is a victim, but she is also, at times, irresponsible. she falls asleep while taking the beehives to market, which ends up killing the family horse, prince she decides to visit the d’urbervilles in trantridge, giving rise to all her future woes, partly out of the guilt and responsibility she feels toward her family. she wants to make good, but in trying to help her family she loses sight of her own safety and her own wants and wishes. she becomes alec’s victim in the forest. she probably should have known not to put herself in such a situation, but she has few other options. here, it seems as though she is destined to rely on others, even when they are unreliable.tess is also a strong woman throughout the novel. she stands up for herself and refuses to crumble under pressure. she chastises herself for her weakness after her sexual escapade with alec. if we agree with her claim that this indiscretion is a moment of weakness, we probably also feel that such weakness is not unlike that of most human beings. she is hard on herself for letting herself become a victim. at the burial of her child, sorrow , she weeps but collects herself and moves on as a stronger woman. overall, her determined attempts to escape her past primarily reflect her strength.her parentage to some extent leaded to her final tragedy.born in a poor family, with an ignorant vain, drunkard father who did not care too much about the苔丝英文版本读后感篇3She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence.

Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Why the tragedy is happened more than one hundred years ago repeated in modern times? Is everything too late?Recently I’ve read the British fa mous writer Thomas Hardy’s masterpiece-Tess of the D’urbervilles. It describes the misfortune of a poor peasant girl Tess. In this novel, we can see Tess resist her unjust fate again and again, till to be ruined. Withthe development of the plot we find that her tragedy is inevitable. We can not but feel the intense emotions of pity and fear.The cause of Tess’s tragedy has always been the concern of people, such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as Tess should suffer inevitable ruin. What leads to her tragic destiny? Who killed her? I can’t do very well in analysis the novel. I don’t know clearly how the time she lived in affect her life. I do have an understanding of the novel by myself. Alec and Angel who are the two people very closely related to Tess’s fate. I think fierce Alec played a very important role in killing Tess, but in fact, it was hypocritical Angel who killed Tess indirectly but more cruelly.I wanted to cry, Tess, do not follow him when I read that plot.I hope she met her true love before she was seduced, but everything was too late. She was seduced by a so called gentleman-Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respect her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of man. Women were too weak. Tess was poor, weak and helpless and met the wrong person at the wrong time.I strongly believed that it was Angel who killed Tess cruelly and without mercy. Angel was a liberal bourgeoisie. He made himself lived in the countryside rather than serving the god. Angel was a man who questioned the church’s teaching. He thought the church’s views were too strict and did not allow free thinking. Angel extricated him from religion and his family, but he couldn’t break with traditional moral principles. He wanted a wife who was the daughter of nature, honest, sensitive, intelligent, graceful, pure as snow and extremely beautiful. In the first part I thought Angel loved tess very much. In the followingpart I found that he loved an image he imagined. After their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave angel at once. She innocently thought that the thing she was going to confess would be forgiven. Poor Tess! She sat and told everything to angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven, but she was wrong. The woman pays.Angel claimed that you were one person, now you are another when tess asked why. The woman Angel had loved was not tess, was another woman in tess’s shape. Angel loved the person he imagined. He considered tess the daughter of nature. Compared to tess’s words, “ I thought angel, that you loved me-me my very self! If you do love me, how can you treat me like this? It frightened me! Having begun to love you, I will love you forever, in all changes, in all troubles, because you are yourself. I ask no more.” we know how deep tess loved angel. She would have laid down life for angel. She not only loved the merits but also accept the demerits. We know from the book that when angel came back from Brazil, he could hardly be recognized by his mother because the cruel climate and hard work had aged him by twenty years, but tess accepted angel immediately, because he was the man she fell in love with.I don’t know why angel couldn’t forgive tess since he himself had done the similar thing.。
苔丝,英文读后感

苔丝,英文读后感篇一:苔丝英文观后感Tess of the D’UrbervillesPoor Tess, she was survived because of love, and was also destroyed because of love.Tess was a very beautiful girl. Her beauty and elegance was prominent under her white appearance and clear soul. Yes! I wanted to say that she was so white and pure, and this white could not be profaned by dirt; she was very white, brilliant and amazing, and this white could change this world into happiness; she was pretty white, delicate and charming, and this white could even make flowers feel shy! To my surprise, I really liked the repeated played music in this film. The music was so wonderful, and could let us feel a deep touch of sadness. Although the plots of the story was romantic, I still smelt the sorrow, which controlled by fate. The plots and the pictures were seamlessly matched up, the audio and video with the fate of the duet, also painted Tess a fatalistic color. Generally speaking , the main melody, the background music and the blending melody were interspersed in this story, and run with a touch of sadness, loneliness, continuous weak and helplessness, indicated that the dark fate.The novel told a pure, loyal, intelligent, strikingly attractive girl; Tess was seduced by a so-called gentleman----Alec. Unfortunately, her ideals could not prevent her from sliding further and further into misfortune after she became pregnant. Forced by the gossips and the church’s blame, Tess thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past, she decided to go to a distant diary farm but still thought she was of guilty. Maybe God didn’t approve of this, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart----Angel Chare. They loved each other deeply. Somehow,Tess agreed to marry Angel. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s 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 her past to Angel, and hoping to be forgiven. But she was wrong and Angel didn’t listen to her explanation at all. Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. Alec found Tess again and forced her to stay with him. At last, Tess couldn’t bear it and killed Alec. Everything was changed. Tess was arrested for her murder eventually.And this story was ended with the death of Tess.In the novel, it reflected the Patriarchal. And Tess ‘s father is one of representatives of male parents of the patriarchal society, who dominate the whole family. Thus sent Tess to D’Urbervilles mansion and marry a wealthy man. Alec and Angel are also endowed with the male chauvinism, which made them hurt Tess physically and mentally.According to Tess, she was a rebelled girl. Firstly, she would not succumb to social pressures. The contest between corruption and innocence took place not only in a field, but also in the human’s heart. In Tess’s life, there were two men----Alec and Angel. Both of them had a great influence to change her fate. Facing Alec’s force, Tess attempts to rebel him. And after the seducing, Tess decided to leave Alec and work for a distant diary farm. She used her action to prove her rebellion to the world. Secondly, Tess killed Alec at last. This thing showed her rebellion again. In the latter part, as Angle returned with renewed loyalty and love for Tess, it became apparent that Alec’strick had considerably broken down Tess’s loyalty to Angle. Torn apart, her shame and grief caused her violent side to explode; Tess killed her lover in amurderous rage out of love for her husband. In a word, Alec of the representatives of the bourgeoisie, he had a bourgeois state apparatus, law, and ethics, as a backup. While Tess and his contradictions, it could also be said that the workers were oppressed and the specific performance of the entire capitalist social contradictions.At the same time, she was coward. This character was also showed on two aspects. First, her loves for Angel. As a typical nineteenth century progressive representative, Angel rejected the values handed to him, and set off in search of his own. His disdain for tradition which was an independent spirit contributes to his aura of charisma and general attractiveness. However, it must be pointed out was that he had not really jump out of his area against the old moral values, he had not really despised from the class prejudices, he was still upholding the decadent bourgeois social customs and moral hypocrisy. Second, her second stay with Alec also presents her cowardice. Tess’s situation made her very vulnerable to Alec’s persuasions. And she was obviously heartbroken and needed to be loved more than ever. She was also distraught by her family’s ever-worsening financial situation. Thus she becameAlec’s mistress for the sake of her family. When she felt the opinions of all the sacrifices was so insignificant, as all acts of levity, finally decided to angrily rebel. Of course, Tess once expressed her plainness angrily by the last letter to Angel under a completely disappointed condition. Tess’s soul was pure and her virtue was lofty, but in the face of bourgeois morality, she was regarded as the typical offend public decency, serve to the lascivious example. Tess was such a strong and beautiful girl, she did nothing wrong, but in the face of power and violence, and she had been to forbear. Finally she rebelled and she paid the cost of life. Tess’s life was ruined by the two men; I thought Angel should be responsible mainly. Sometimes happiness was really completely in our hands, it was easy to get happiness if we forgave other people. If the thoughts were radical and stubborn, it would not only harm ourselves, but also destructed our happiness. Angel had been haunting because of the deep psychological ingrained traditional ideas of ethics; it personally ruined the happiness of Tess’s life. Just imagined, if Angel was open-minded and forgave the past of Tess, the tragic story would not happen, and Tess did not become a murderer. Angel’sheart was bound by a secular moral values, and what angry was that Angel had the same past as Tess’s, but he could not forgive Tess as Tess forgave him, which not only showed the gender injustice, but also reflected the social patriarchal thought at that time.I was so touched by her story after read all above these words. In order to get her love Tess paid the most expensive price of her, and she preferred to do in that way. What the love really it is, it is worthy someone to afford their lives for it? I do not know, and I also think many people will have no certain idea about it. But they will certified their love in their own ways, and whatever they might are. They deserved respected always, I think.篇二:《Tess》的英文读后感苔丝文法分院读书报告题目:Tess of the D’Urbervilles班级: 10商务英本一姓名: 戴妲莉学号:10203023218书名:Tess of the D’Urbervilles作者: 总页码:出版社:出版时间:版次,印数TitleAbstract:Tess of the D’urbervilles is one of Thomas Hardy’Wessex series , written in 1891. Word has it that it is a great tragedy about a poor girl. In my opinion everything happening has its own causes. The tragic love story narrates leading lady Tess asked her fake kin Alec who is fairly rich in the native areas for help. The dudish man Alec deprived Tess of her virginity . Personally speaking , that is the deep root of tragedy. Key words\Tess’ tragedy and the love attitudes in Tess of the d’UrbervillesThe reason I read itAs a English mayor , I prefer watching foreign films. Occasionally , I encountered a film named Tess of the d’Urbervilles. The gorgeous plot and characters impelled me to read the famous essay.Title1. Brief Introduction of Thomas HardyThomas Hardy was a famous British novelist and poet. He carried forward and developed the literary traditions of the Victorian Age. He described thetragic plots vividly and truthfully in his works. He was considered as “Shakespeare of British novels”. Hardy was born in an architect’s family and was expected to become an architect. He trained as an architect and worked in London and Dorset for ten years. Hardy began his writing career as a novelist in 1871 publishing Desperate Remedies. He was soon successful and left architecture for writing.Hardy was pessimistic about life. The main theme of his novels is the futility of man’s effort to struggle against cruel and unintelligible fate, chance, and circumstances, which are all predestined by the immanent will. He bravely challenged many of the sexual and religious conventions of the Victorian Age. He exposed thehypocritical morals, laws and people’s miserable life, especially the women’s life in social economic, politics, morals, custom, etc. after the invasion of industrial capital to the British villages. He described people of different social classes. He was good at viewing life with “a tragic light”.2. PlotThe story is about the tragic life of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor family.

Angel Clare comes back and wants to be reconciled to Tess, but the fact that Tess’ living with Alec hinders her from coming back to Clare. At last, Tess kills Alec in despair and she is soon arrested, tried and hanged.3. Character AnalysisTess ------the leading ladyIntelligent, strikingly attractive, and distinguished by her deep moral sensitivity and passionate intensity, Tess is indisputably the centralcharacter of the novel that bears her name. But she is also more than a distinctive individual. Hardy have ever said that her eyes are “neither black nor blue nor grey nor violet; rather all these shades together,”like “an almost standard woman.”In my part, Tess represents the changing lady of the agricultural workers in England in the late nineteenth century. Also Tess is a symbol of unclear and unstable notions of class in nineteenth-century Britain, where old family lines retained their earlierglamour, but where cold economic realities made sheer wealth more important than inner nobility.Beyond her social symbolism, Tess represents fallen humanity in a religious sense, as the frequent biblical allusions in the novel remind us. Just as Tess’s clan was once glorious and powerful but is now sadly diminished, so too did the early glory of the first humans, Adam and Eve, fade with their expulsion from Eden, making humans sad shadows of what they once were. Tess thus represents what is known in Christian theology as original sin, the degraded state in which all humans live, even when—like Tess herself after killing Prince or succumbing to Alec—they are not wholly or directly responsible for the sins for whichthey are punished. This torment represents the most universal side of Tess: she is the myth of the human who suffers for crimes that are not her own and lives a life more degraded than she deserves.AlecAlec is a representative of the bourgeois society’s authority, the wealth and the evil. He has an aristocrat d’Urbervilles surname, a large amount of money and a great power which dominate the local people. He takes advantage of Tess’ poor family condition, and tempts her with money to go to his family as a servant. He always forces Tess to do something she is not willing to do. For example, when in the cart, Tess wants him to slow down, but he says that he will not do unless Tess let him “put one little kiss on those holmberry lips” (Hardy p57). That is a total insult to Tess. Then he seduces Tess, destroying her chastity which means all her life. At the end of the story, when Tess’ father dies, and her family is homeless, Alec “helps” her again. He tells Tess that her family can move to his cottage, and “the children can go to school” (Hardy p385). In fact, he just wants to possess Tess. He is full of violence and plots. He says that he is Tess’“friend”, but he is unlikely to treat Tess as his realfriend because they belong to different social class and they have totally different status and life experiences.AngelAngel is a representative of the traditional moral concepts. At that time, the whole society is full of those ridiculous traditional moral concepts. At first, Angel considers Tess as the fresh and virginal daughter of nature” (Hard p131), but when he knows the history of Tess, he abandons her. He says “forgiveness does not apply to the case. You were one person; now you are another” (Hardy p247). It shows the traditional moral concepts are still deep-rooted in his mind. Angel is born in a pastor family, but he refuses to go to college and to be a pastor “serves for God”. On the contrary, he chooses to work on a farm and “serves for the humanity”. It seems that he is a person who has already run away from all traditional concepts. He falls in love with Tess, a dairy woman, and he doesn’t care whether she is born in a good family or not. It seems that his love to Tess is true love. However, when it comes to marriage, he still considers Tess’ social status. He wants Tess to take “mistress Teresa d’Urbervilles as her name and he claims that the change “may take anappreciable difference to acceptance of you as my wife”. “After I have made you the well-read woman that I mean to make you” his mother will think much better of her. This means he holds the same idea as his mother to some extent.4. comment:Firstly I want to say that Tess’ tragedy comes from her helpless and pessimistic characters. As I know, the Durbeyfields were born with downfallen clan. I even called back to mind the dialogue from Tess of the D’urbervilles:“Tess, are stars either good or bad?“Yes. I think each star represents a family. ”“Is our star bad?”“I think so.”From the above dialogue I got that Tess is pessimistic about her life and reality, which press her to ask Alec for help and laid the seed of her tragedy .She becomes Alec’s victim in the forest. She probably should have known not to put herself in such a situation, but she has few other options. Here, it seems as though she is destined to rely on others, even when they are ueliable.Therefore, I should recognize that her family acts as a considerable accomplice with Alec to a certainextend.Secondly, I am dedicated to analysis the three characters’ attitudes towards love. Who is to blame for this tragic love? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate? I believe it was Tess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners 篇三:Tess of the d’urbervilles苔丝英文读后感Tess of the d’UrbervillesIn Tess of the d’Urbervilles, Thomas Hardy has directly satirized nature. This novel revealed the tragedy of lower classes’destiny and flayed hypocritical gentlemen and morals. In this novel, Hardy demonstrated his deep sense of moral sympathy for England’s lower classes, particularly for women. The novel, which indicated the tendency of anti-religious sentiments, against feudal morality and the laws of capitalists, was warmly received by the reading public though British upper class was bitter against it.In the novel, Thomas Hardy succeeded in portraying an artistic image- Tess. There were sensitivity and beauty to her that have nothing to do with looks. Her beauty is not kind of stunning beauty, but the more you approach to her, you will be more likely to indulge in her beauty. Although she is not an orthodox believer,she has her own pure pursuits of life and living criteria. Her integrated image of kindness and tenderness, tough-minded and plainness should own her a happy life. But it seems that God leaves her out. Alec in the novel is the son of a Manor owner, being dissolute and flirtatious in conduct; however, generally, he is not essentially a bad man. His strong desire to Tess is out of a sort of inherently desire and desire for possession. It’s very normal for such a young man. But he adopts a wrong way-he abducts Tess. He would like to take a part of responsibility of his behavior but Tess turn down hissuggestion without hesitation. Tess’s self-respect can’t allow herself bend down to harm. Such a pure girl, should be so strong-mind to bear neighbor’s discrimination and secular pressure and to take the consequences by herself. She has never asked Alec for help even when she is driven to the last ditch.Finally, Tess chooses to leave for another village where her past is not known and secures a job as a milkmaid at Talbothays Dairy. She escapes from the old environment, meanwhile, prepares to make a new start. She fears a romantic love, at the same time, strongly looks forward to it. Anyway, she is only 21years old,she has the right to enjoy the pleasure that love can bring to her. There, she re-encounters Angel Clare who is eager for nature and full of dreams, is Tess’s Prince Charming, one of unfinished dreams in her girlhood. As for Angel Clare, Tess is part of his persistent vision. What he wants is a pure girl to be his wife. Such a match made in heaven will certainly wipe out spark of love. However, the process of their love is filled with difficulties and hardship. Tess, who is pure in mind, is tightly tided by worldly views so that she thinks she can’t marry to Clare for her unclean body. All the time she is hesitating about, bearing a keen pressure of sentiment and intellect, weather should her tell Angel about her past without reserve. The pain that Angel suffers in the pursuit of Tess is far away from Tess’s inner struggle. She could not confess to her lover for being terrified of losing him. And she could notgive up the happiness within her grasp to refuse Clare against her will.At their wedding night, Angel confesses that he once had a brief affair with an older woman. When she hears this story, Tess feels sure that Angel will forgive her own indiscretion, and finally tells about herrelationship with Alec. But things go contrary to her wishes. Angel, however, is appalled by Tess’s confession. His love to Tess is based on the sky garden of pure tower. Once the base is deprived, his love will collapse. His love is too fragile and vulnerable. Finally, he leaves for Brazil, leaving Tess alone, no messages, no letters and never back again. Tess has waiting for him eight years but can’t win back his hearts. When he realizes his heart, everything is too late. Tess has married to Alec after a long hopeless waiting. Afterwards, when Angel back, on the one hand, Tess felt happy, for her long waiting has come to an end. But on the other hand, she was more distressful and could not control her abhor to Alec. Thus, she killed the man who had destroyed her life.Though, Tess and Angel have spent the five happy days, her life is ended in revenge for love. But she is quiet when she faces the people coming to arrest her. She says,”I was ready.” I know that Tess is happy at the last moment of her life. Because it’s her hope to be with the man who she loves sincerely and there is no need for her to worry about Angel’s despise.Tess, such a pretty and virtuous girl, should have led a happy andpeaceful life, but God, “the president of the moral”plays a joke on her. The real tragedy is to display the process of ruining the perfection. Tess’s fate is a good representation.《苔丝,英文读后感》。

网读后感栏目为大家整理了《苔丝》英文读后感,一起来看看吧!《苔丝》英文读后感She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, 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 because 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 farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t aGREe with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel 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 the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t 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 woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s 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 forgiven, notas she thought she was. The woman pays.Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t 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 reGREtted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s 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 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 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 didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend h erself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s 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 weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!In old China there was a c ulture, which didn’t 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 eldersisters. If you asked 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. So they were extremely hard on girls.Girls 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 ho w she thought. If she wasn’t, then she 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 rights…Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.《苔丝》英文读后感The Impression of Reading Tess of the d’UrbervillesIn most works of Thomas Hardy’s ,he almost entirely concerns his native West Country—Wessex . For Hardy, nature was the primary fact in life. He felt that nature was good because it represented free life in its honest, basic form. Nature was also harsh and demanding, punishing those who did not live in tune with it. For most of his major character, life is a struggle to regain the simplicity and truth of natural living. Most of them are sens ual women like “Tess” in Tess of the d’Urbervilles , they are the common villains in Hardy’s novels .The Wessex novels are similar in mant other ways. All of them rely heavilyon sensational incidents and their plots are overloaded with exciting climaxes.Of all the Wessex novels, Tess of the d’Urbervilles is one of the most typical one. The other one is Jude the Obscure. Wessex raised a storm of controversy because of their “indecent” subject matter. Today, their subjects would be considered harmless, even dull, but the Victorians were outraged by his gloomy outlook and lack of sweetness.The subtitle of the novel is “A Pure Maiden”. The novel portrays a pure maiden’s tragic experience. In Tess of the d’Urbervilles, a pure, just and industrious rural maiden Tess became degenerate under the press of society. She was filled with love and the trust in others. After being raped by Alec, she left Alec’s home, which embodies her pure heart and her yearning for well-being life. She didn’t want to live with a man she hated.Afterwards, she learnt of her pregnancy. In spite of the blame of her friends and family, she gave birth to the baby and brought him up, which embodies her dignity. At last, she couldn’t tolerate the misery of her infidelity to her husband, so she killed Alec, who raged her, and finally she committed a suicide, which embodies her loyalty. However, all of these were repelled by the society at that time. Her behavior was regarded as harm to the society’s moral, and she was regarded as a sinful woman. On the surface, the gist of the novel is to describe the misery of a sufferer who was criticized by the society without any sympathy. But actually, what the author really wanted to convey was the false moral standard and the ugly manners at that time, and Tess was the victim of the corrupt society. Hardy wholly revealed abuse of the social manners through the description of Tess’s tragic experiences.Of course, Tess’s ending not only had the society elements, butalso was connected with her own character. These factors were all closely associated with the capitalist society at that time, and were the reflection of the society. Consequently, Tess’s life doomed to a tragedy.。

Tess of the D’UrbervillesPoor Tess, she was survived because of love, and was also destroyed because of love.Tess was a very beautiful girl. Her beauty and elegance was prominent under her white appearance and clear soul. Yes! I wanted to say that she was so white and pure, and this white could not be profaned by dirt; she was very white, brilliant and amazing, and this white could change this world into happiness; she was pretty white, delicate and charming, and this white could even make flowers feel shy! To my surprise, I really liked the repeated played music in this film. The music was so wonderful, and could let us feel a deep touch of sadness. Although the plots of the story was romantic, I still smelt the sorrow, which controlled by fate. The plots and the pictures were seamlessly matched up, the audio and video with the fate of the duet, also painted Tess a fatalistic color. Generally speaking , the main melody, the background music and the blending melody were interspersed in this story, and run with a touch of sadness, loneliness, continuous weak and helplessness, indicated that the dark fate.The novel told a pure, loyal, intelligent, strikingly attractive girl; Tess was seduced by a so-called gentleman----Alec. Unfortunately, her ideals could not prevent her from sliding further and further into misfortune after she became pregnant. Forced by the gossips and the church’s blame, Tess thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past, she decided to go to a distant diary farm but still thought she was of guilty. Maybe God didn’t approve of this, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart----Angel Chare. They loved each other deeply. Somehow,Tess agreed to marry Angel. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s 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 her past to Angel, and hoping to be forgiven. But she was wrong and Angel didn’t listen to her explanation at all. Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. Alec found Tess again and forced her to stay with him. At last, Tess couldn’t bear it and killed Alec. Everything wa s changed. Tess was arrested for her murder eventually. And this story was ended with the death of Tess.In the novel, it reflected the Patriarchal. And Tess‘s father is one of representatives of male parents of the patriarchal society, who dominate the whole family. Thus sent Tess to D’Urbervilles mansion and marry a wealthy man.Alec and Angel are also endowed with the male chauvinism, which made them hurt Tess physically and mentally.According to Tess, she was a rebelled girl. Firstly, she would not succumb to social pressures. The contest between corruption and innocence took place not only in a field, but also in the human’s heart. In Tess’s life, there were two men----Alec and Angel. Both of them had a great influence to change her fate. Facing Alec’s force, Tess attempts to rebel him. And after the seducing, Tess decided to leave Alec and work for a distant diary farm. She used her action to prove her rebellion to the world. Secondly, Tess killed Alec at last. This thing showed her rebellion again. In the latter part, as Angle returned with renewed loyalty and love for Tess, it became apparent that Alec’strick had considerably broken down Tess’s loyalty to Angle. Torn apart, her shame and grief caused her violent side to explode; Tess killed her lover in a murderous rage out of love for her husband. In a word, Alec of the representatives of the bourgeoisie, he had a bourgeois state apparatus, law, and ethics, as a backup. While Tess and his contradictions, it could also be said that the workers were oppressed and the specific performance of the entire capitalist social contradictions.At the same time, she was coward. This character was also showed on two aspects. First, her loves for Angel. As a typical nineteenth century progressive representative, Angel rejected the values handed to him, and set off in search of his own. His disdain for tradition which was an independent spirit contributes to his aura of charisma and general attractiveness. However, it must be pointed out was that he had not really jump out of his area against the old moral values, he had not really despised from the class prejudices, he was still upholding the decadent bourgeois social customs and moral hypocrisy. Second, her second stay with Alec also presents her cowardice. Tess’s situation made her very vulnerable to Alec’s persuasions.And she was obviously heartbroken and needed to be loved more than ever. She was also distraught by her family’s ever-worsening financial situation. Thus she beca me Alec’s mistress for the sake of her family. When she felt the opinions of all the sacrifices was so insignificant, as all acts of levity, finally decided to angrily rebel. Of course, Tess once expressed her plainness angrily by the last letter to Angel under a completely disappointed condition.Tess's soul was pure and her virtue was lofty, but in the face of bourgeois morality, she was regarded as the typical offend public decency, serve to the lascivious example.Tess was such a strong and beautiful girl, she did nothing wrong, but in the face of power and violence, and she had been to forbear. Finally she rebelled and she paid the cost of life. Tess's life was ruined by the two men; I thought Angel should be responsible mainly. Sometimes happiness was really completely in our hands, it was easy to get happiness if we forgave other people. If the thoughts were radical and stubborn, it would not only harm ourselves, but also destructed our happiness. Angel had been haunting because of the deep psychological ingrained traditional ideas of ethics; it personally ruined the happiness of Tess’s life. Just imagined, if Angel was open-minded and forgave the past of Tess, the tragic story would not happen, and Tess did not become a murderer. Angel’s heart was bound by a secular moral values, and what angry was that Angel had the same past as Tess’s, but he could not forgive Tess as Tess forgave him, which not only showed the gender injustice, but also reflected the social patriarchal thought at that time.I was so touched by her story after read all above these words. In order to get her love Tess paid the most expensive price of her, and she preferred to do in that way. What the love really it is, it is worthy someone to afford their lives for it? I do not know, and I also think many people will have no certain idea about it. But they will certified their love in their own ways, and whatever they might are. They deserved respected always, I think.。
