Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Brief Introduction During this term I read two books, one of which is named Tess of the d'Urbervilles.The great famous author is Thomas Hardy.He wrote the story based on his hometown, a little town in England.The book I chose was published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research and pressed in 2005.The whole book contains 294 pages.The story was very wonderful and shocking.I am introducing it to my friends.Main Contents

The story is about a girl named Tess.It consists of Tess’s experiences.The story began with Tess’s father knowing about his real identity.He was the lineal representative of the ancient and knightly family of the d’Urbervilles, who deserve their descent from Sir Pagan d’Urberville,that renowned knight who came from Normandy with William the Conqueror.He was a gloat in his eyes, so at that night he drank heavily.Next day, Tess took the place of her father to send the honeycomb to the fair for money.But when they was on the way to the fair, because of her carelessness the old horse was knocked down to death.Tess felt ashamed, so she went to the d’Urbervilles to ask for help, following her mother's will.The playboy, Alec d’Urbervilles lost his heart to Tess's beautiful face and seduced her.Tess found her never fall in love with Alec, then she left Trantridge for her home.Soon a son was born, but dead.She couldn't bear people's taunts so she decided to leave home.She went to Talbot hays dairy.Angel Clare, a parson's son learned to make milk in the dairy.He fell in love with Tess and proposed marriage to her.Tess hesitated about the marriage.Although she loved him very much, she couldn't accept his love because of her immortalization.Because she loved him very much ,at last she accepted his love.Her heart ordered herself to tell Clare the reality in spite of her mother's advice.If he could forgive her, she would marry him.Before the wedding, Tess laid the letter under the Clare's door, seeing Clare's attitude.When she felt that Clare was still kind to her, she believed that she got forgiven.But when the wedding was being held;she found Clare hadn't seen the letter.She had no choice but to marry him.At the wedding night, Tess forgave his wrong things.When she told him her wrong tings, he couldn't forgive her and left her coldly.Tess met with Alec again.Alec forced her to live with him.Tess's father died.They had to leave their house, because the cottage was in Tess's father’s name.Alec helped them and made her believe that Clare never forgave her.At last, Tess got stuck in Alec's trap.Clare left Tess for Brazil and was going to buy a farm.But soon he was ill.In the end he came back in about a year.During the time, he reflected on his deeds.He realized he was cruel to her.He regretted doing the things.When he found Tess, Tess told it was too late because she had lived with Alec.Because Tess loved Clare very much, she murdered Alec to ran after Clare.They both escaped.They had five happy days in an empty house.Then Tess was arrested.Clare and Tess's little sister saw that a tall post was fixed to the prison tower, which saw that Tess was dead.The story ended.Excellent Episodes 1.Now take up the basket and tell them in the village to send a horse and carriage to me immediately.Here is a shilling for you.2.The village of Marlott lies in the beautiful vale of Blackmon.Although this valley is only four hours away from London, It has not yet been discovered by tourists and artists.The best view of the vale is from the hills surrounding looks like a map spread out.it is a quiet, sheltered part of the countryside , where the fields are always green and the rivers never dry up.To south lies the great dividing line of hills.From here to coast the hills are open, the sun pours down on the huge dry fields, and the atmosphere is colorless.But here in the vale lies a completely different countryside, smaller and more delicate.3.The fields are tiny, the air makes you sleepy, and the sky is of the deepest blue.Everywhere you can see a rich greenery of grass and trees;covering smaller hills and valleys.This is the vale of Blackmoor.4.Six helpless creatures who had not asked to be born at all, much less to be part of irresponsible.5.“Did you say the stars were the worlds, Tess?” “All like ours.They seem like our apples—most of them good, a few bad.Which do we live on?” “A good one or a bad one?" “ A bad one.” When Aby realized what had happened, his face looked like an old man＇s.6.But Tess didn't cry.Her face was dry and pale.She felt she had murdered a friend.Tess looked

the old horse as a good friend , which implied Tess＇s loneliness.7.“I do not like my children asking for help.” said he proudly, I am the head of the oldest branch of the family and a noble family like ours should not have to ask for help.8.The vale of Blackmoor was her only world, and she had never been for outside the valley.She did not know she smiled innocently at the flower that behind the cigarette smoke was the cause of future sorrow in her life.In life, the right man to love hardly ever comes at the right time for loving.Nature does not often answer a call for loving, until the caller is tired of calling Reflection After reading the story, I want to cry for Tess's sadness.I was merely shocked by Tess’s miserable and tragic fate.She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn’t deserve.I want to murder Alec.I hated Clare because he was so narrow-minded.When Tess forgave him, he couldn't forgive Tess.It was unfair to Tess.If he forgave her ,she will not be tempted by Alec.She couldn't murder Alec and she couldn't die.They could live happily.And all the things were opposite.If he had danced with her at that night, all the bad things couldn't appear.Tess also was still innocent.Then history can not be changed.All the things that had happened in the past had happened really.We must accept them, like Tess.And I feel that I am lucky for having good parents.The story was a sad book.Tess's life was ruined gradually by the persons who said they loved her.Tess was a happy girl.Her life should be happy.But a suitable person hesitated;a wrong one expressed his love for her.When the suitable one realized Tess's innocence, it’s too late.We feel sad for him.Sometimes I wonder why a nice woman couldn’t end up with a nice man.Is it just like the saying that beautiful women suffer unhappy fates? Tess always missed her Mr.right and her Mr.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn’t let her go.All the three persons didn't know what’s true love.Alec thought love to be deprival and occupation；Angel thought love to be purity and ideal;Tess thought love to be toleration and waiting.They stuck in their illusion of love of which they never managed to get out.Alec and Tess was dead.Who is to blame for this tragedy？Ale, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate? I believe it was Tess

herself.Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that pushed Tess into the abyss of destruction.How stupid she is to wait for a man who did not understand her.When there is no help from men, women should fight on their own instead of waiting for help from men since there is nothing needed to be forgiven.In our real life, there are many similar stories.We have nothing to do.The world functions following its rule.But I still hope that people who love each other can have a happy marriage.Women’s 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.I also hope women learn to how to live on their own.

德伯家的苔丝的读后感

苔丝是一个美丽善良的农村姑娘,由于家境贫寒,不得不到富人家攀亲,不幸被亚雷·德伯诱奸而蒙羞回家。

由于不堪忍受乡里邻居的风言风语,苔丝到远离家乡的奶牛场打工,在那里她与牧师的儿子安琪·克莱尔相遇、相恋,并决定结婚。在新婚之夜,苔丝坦白了自己过去的不幸遭遇,然而克莱尔无法忍受这个现实,抛弃她远走巴西。

为了贫困的家庭,苔丝被迫再次沦为亚雷的情妇。经过一番痛苦的挣扎,克莱尔从巴西回来请求苔丝的谅解。在愤怒和绝望中苔丝杀死了亚雷,和克莱尔一起度过了短暂的幸福时光,最后由于谋杀罪而被绞死。我认为造成苔丝悲剧的原因有很多：

苔丝的悲剧源于苔丝性格的妥协性，表现在她和安琪儿的关系上。恋人之间本是平等的，而苔丝却一味贬低自己,抬高安琪儿，这是多么浓烈﹑炽热却又卑躬屈膝的爱。她悲惨的过去,得不到安琪儿的宽容，面对安琪儿无情的抛弃,苔丝没有做丝毫反抗。安琪儿离去了,苔丝对他的爱却从未削减，一封封热情洋溢的信,却唤不回安琪儿冰冷的心，在爱情面前,苔丝失去了自我,失去了尊严，正是这种盲目的﹑不平等的爱,使苔丝放弃了一个妻子争取幸福的权利,深化了苔丝的悲剧。

苔丝的悲剧也是由她异常低下的社会经济、政治和阶级地位造成的,没有任何社会地位的破落家庭直接导致了悲剧的发生。她虚荣的父亲一心想恢复昔日显赫的德伯维尔家族的荣耀;她无知的母亲一直梦想让漂亮的苔丝嫁入豪门,成为阔太太,借此解决日益严峻的家庭危机。苔丝从来不考虑个人的忧患得失,一心关注家人的生活。家中老马的意外死亡,也就是苔丝悲惨命运的开始,她认为自己应该对家庭负责,照顾好弟弟妹妹,所以她向冒牌本家求助,亚雷·德伯利用苔丝的天真淳朴,无耻地诱奸了她。新婚丈夫抛弃她以后,她凭着坚强的意志自力更生,屡次抵制亚雷的物质诱惑,但是父亲去世后,为了让家人有栖身之处,她再次委身亚雷,过着“行尸走肉”般的生活,此时她的精神世界已经崩溃了。

关于苔丝最后的结局，我们能看到“人在现实社会中的生存,本身就是极大的悲哀”。人类悲剧的原因不是人类本身的行为造成的,而是一种超自然的力量主宰着人类的命运。而且“人们在情势以及支配情势的命运面前是软弱无力的”。

关键词：苦难、无奈、牺牲品、悲剧、道德、男权

正文：

“我过去是牺牲品，就永远是牺牲品——这就是规律！”在燧石山农场苔丝又一次遇到阿历克时无奈、绝望地喊出这么一句话。作为封建社会的底层农民阶级又是个妇女，她权利无几，却又处处受伤。

在官方说法中《德伯家的苔丝》描写的是威塞克斯破产农民的前途和命运。这点的确不可否认，以苔丝一家在父亲死后全家被逐离且无处可去的困境，以苔丝个人被阿历克伤害、因非己之过被克莱尔抛弃、在燧石山农场被农场主欺负以及最后以死亡收场的悲剧命运，体现了威塞克斯破产农民的无望、孤苦渺茫的前途和悲苦、注定被牺牲、抛弃的命运。苔丝一家正是这苦难的破产农民的缩影。

然而，我从《苔丝》这本书中看到的更多的是女性在男权社会下的苦难与无奈。

在当时社会，苔丝算是一个比较富有思想、善于思考的女性。如在第十三章有那么一句“有时候，她的离奇幻想会强化周围的自然程序，直到它们似乎变成她的历史中的一部分，它们岂止是变成她的历史的一部分，简直就是她自己的历史，因为世界只是一种心理现象，表面上看起来像什么，它实际上就是什么。”

正因她爱思考，才会多幻想。同时她也是一个纯粹的唯心主义者，她在奶牛场时“对于她来说，整个世界的存在全凭她的感觉，所有的生物的存在也全凭她的存在。对于苔丝，宇宙本身的诞生，就是在她降生的某一年中的某一天里诞生的。”。正因如此苔丝更显天真、活泼，对于这个世界充满着无限的热爱，即使在受了那样的耻辱后，走向牛奶场时仍能“精神奇妙地振作起来。迎着温柔的南风，她一路跳跃着向前走去，她的希望同阳光融合在一起，似乎幻化成一道环绕着她的光环”，甚至在一声鸟的啼鸣里“也似乎潜藏着欢愉”。

不过她的思考也给她自己带来了诸多困扰，在克莱尔想教她历史时，她回答说“除了我已经知道的东西以外，就不想知道更多的东西了”、“知道了又怎么样呢，只不过是一长串人中的一个，只不过发现某本古书中有一个和我一样的人，只不过知道我要扮演他的角色，让我难过而已”、“我倒想学一学为什么——为什么太阳都同样照耀好人和坏人？不过那是书本里不会讲的”。

然而如此善良、美丽而又聪慧的苔丝，仍逃脱不开被牺牲的厄运，在传统封建男权社会中仍要经历着苦难，却无力反抗。

首先是苔丝的父母一心想“认亲”，却将苔丝推入阿历克的“虎口”，这是苔丝悲剧命运的开始。是阿历克让她失贞，让她在众人面前抬不起头，让她只敢在傍晚出门，让她害怕人类：“她知道怎样抓住傍晚时分极短的那个时刻。那时候，光明和黑暗恰到好处地得到平衡，白昼的拘束和黑夜的紧张相互得到中和，留下来的是心灵上的绝对自由，只有在那个时候，活着的苦恼才被减到最小的可能程度。她并不害怕黑夜，她唯一的念头就是避开人类——或者不如说是被称作世界的冷酷的生命群体。”。

接下来，虽然在奶牛场苔丝重获新生，却又被克莱尔抛弃。苔丝能宽恕他的放荡，他却无法原谅苔丝的非出于己意的失贞，甚至说“我以前一直爱的那个人不是你，是和你一模一样的另外一个女人”。而这主要是因为克莱尔头脑中的传统道德评价。在传统社会，男人可以放荡，女人却必须对男人绝对忠贞。这不仅仅只是苔丝的悲剧，更是诸多在此种社会背景下的群体女性的悲剧——封建男权体制传统道德思想体系下的牺牲品。

后来是在燧石山农场，苔丝在哪里不仅受农场主的折磨，还有阿历克的纠缠不休。就是在那里，在阿历克再次找苔丝时，苔丝在用手套甩了他一掌后，绝望地喊出：“我过去是牺牲品，就永远是牺牲品——这就是规律！”。阿历克这个苔丝一生灾难的开端，如今却可以皈依宗教，她却因他被丈夫抛弃，受尽苦难，“他本是给她带来祸根的人，现在却站在了神灵那一边，而她本是受害的人，现在灵魂却还没有得到新生”。

最后，苔丝苦难的一生以死亡收场。虽然克莱尔最后宽恕了她，但，就如苔丝在他们再次见面是说的那样“太晚了”，苔丝无法原谅那个再次被阿历克欺骗的自己。但为了与克莱尔团圆，她选择杀了阿历克。她这一悲壮的反抗，仍逃不开被处罚的命运。从始至终，牺牲的都是苔丝……

书中有一句话，形象地表现了一群像苔丝一样在男权社会传统道德思想压迫下的女性的无奈与绝望：“她用眼睛看着他说，那目光就像是一只被人抓住的麻雀，感到绝望又不能反抗，只好等着抓住它的人拧断脖子。”。

“我过去是牺牲品，就永远是牺牲品——这就是规律！”

这就是传统道德约束的男权社会的规律，这就是群体女性的悲剧……
