A pure woman Tess
Many people can hardly accept that Tess was pure because on the hand she was chastity but on the other hand she killed somebody.But that opinion only existed in Hardy's time, now, more and more people admire that Tess was a pure woman.As far as I am concerned, Tess was a pure woman.Everybody who has read the novel
First, as we know, she was born pure.At the beginning of the movie, we saw many women, all dressed in white, paraded to the main square and there do a dance.One of the “walkers” was Durbeyfield’s pretty, innocent, sixteen-year old daughter Tess.She was “at this time of her life a mere vessel of emotion, untinctured by experience.” Tess’s beautiful face, white dress and pure temperament made a good impression to us.Later, she was forced to be a service of the Stokes, working on the estate’s poultry farm.But unfortunately, she was seduced by Alec, a fraud as well as a morally corrupt person.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.So we can say that Tess was born pure, she was merely, she didn’t know Alec would hurt her, it provided that she was a pure girl.Second, Tess’s love was pure.In the Talbothdays dairy, she met Angel Clare, an educated, reserved, subtle, sad and differing man.As time went on, they knew and loved each other.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, not as 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 strength 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’s impure in body served as a foil to her soul’s pure.She did not love Alec totally, so she tended to tell the truth to her lover.Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself 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 culture, 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 elder sisters.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 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.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.In short, as a girl, we should be self-loved and strong.

TESS is really a tragic figure in the book TESS of the d’Urberwilles
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, not as 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?

Tess of the D’Urbervilles
About the writer: Thomas Hardy Tess of the D’Urbervilles was written by the famous writer Thomas Hardy.Thomas Hardy(1840---1928), who is an English novelist.His father is a stoneworker, who is fond of music.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.Tess of the D’Urbervilles was one of his “Wessex series” works.The book which I read 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 book Tess of the D’Urbervilles was about a beautiful and industrious girl Tess, all her life, her unfortunate life and her very tough love story.Tess comes from a farmer’s family, the Durbeyfields.One day her father, John Durbeyfied was told that they are descended from the D’Urbervilles, an ancient family.Herparents were so happy that they urged Tess to close to their relatives and wanted to look foe wealth who he thought at local.In fact, their relatives never thought that, because their immense property relied on usury and the family name was just moved from museum.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 disappointed and sad, Tess went home she found she had already had a baby.She gave birth to child between insult and abuse, but it was died in fancy, desperate she was, so she decided to another place and found a job at dairy factory in the South, where she meets Angel Claire.Angel lived in a very wealthy family priest and he did not want to follow his family’s career.Instead of going to university he decided to work on the farm and began his own career.But when he met Tess he found he loved her very much.He always wanted to help her and gave some knowledge to her.Even he wanted her to be his wife.Tess loved him at same time, but she could not love him because of what had happened in her past at that miserable time.She did not want him knew that.Angel did not know all of these.He wanted her married with him as soon as possible and Tess.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 father died suddenly and their house was taken away by its owner.All her family was homeless.Tess was so helpless that she made minds writing to her husband and wanted him come back and protected her.At Brazil Angel was not quite good, also had a bad life.He regretted abandoning his wife very much and wanted to go home.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.They had a very short happy time on the moors, but on a placidly morning she was arrested by police and then hang.Angle followed her will and married with his sister-in-law with great sorrow and confession, and began a new life.Good sentences
The mute procession past her shoulders of trees and hedges became attached to fantastic scenes outside reality, and the occasional heave of the wind became the sigh of some immense sad soul, conterminous with the universe in space, and with history in time.The pointed shaft of the cart had entered the breast of the unhappy Prince like a sword, and from the wound his life's blood was spouting in a stream, and falling with a hiss into the road.The atmosphere turned pale, the birds shook themselves in the hedges, arose, and twittered;the lane showed all its white features, and Tess showed hers, still whiter.The huge pool of blood in front of her was already assuming the iridescence of coagulation;and when the sun rose a hundred prismatic hues were reflected from it.Prince lay alongside still and stark;his eyes half open, the hole in his chest looking scarcely large enough to have let out all that had animated him.In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving.It was always beautiful from here;it was terribly beautiful to Tess to day, for since her eyes last fell upon it she had learnt that the serpent hisses where the sweet birds sing, and her views of life had been totally changed for her by the lesson.The denser nocturnal vapours, attacked by the warm beams, were dividing and shrinking into isolated fleeces within hollows and coverts, where they waited till they should be dried away to nothing.The past was past;whatever it had been it was no more at hand.Whatever its consequences, time would close over them;they would all in a few years be as if they had never been, and she herself grassed down and forgotten.Meanwhile the trees were just as green as before;the birds sang and the sun shone as clearly now as ever.The familiar surroundings had not darkened because of her grief, nor sickened because of her pain.She was not an existence, an experience, a passion, a structure of sensations, to anybody but herself.To all humankind besides Tess was only a passing thought.Even to friends she was no more than a frequently passing thought.If she made herself miserable the livelong night and day it was only this much to them--'Ah, she makes herself unhappy.' If she tried to be cheerful, to dismiss all care, to take pleasure in the daylight, the flowers, the baby, she could only be this idea to themdark-green islands of dry herbage the size of their carcases, in the general sea of dew.From each island proceeded a serpentine trail, by which the cow had rambled away to feed after getting up, at the end of which trail they found her;the snoring puff from her nostrils, when she recognized them, making an intenser little fog of her own amid the prevailing one.Tess was conscious of neither time nor space.The exaltation which she had described as being producible at will by gazing at a star, came now without any determination of hers;she undulated upon the thin notes of the second-hand harp, and their harmonies passed like breezes through her, bringing tears into her eyes.The floating pollen seemed to be his notes made visible, and the dampness of the garden the weeping of the garden's sensibility.Though near nightfall, the rank-smelling weed-flowers glowed as if they would not close for intentness, and the waves of colour mixed with the waves of sound.Impression of the book This 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 was destroyed gradually and really---not by her energy, but by the people who said loves her.What kind of this love is? What make the love destroy its lover? Tess’s parents loved her, but it was just an instinctive love;Alec said love to her, but it was an evil love;Angel said love to her as well, but it was an immature and selfish love.He wanted Tess to forgive him, but he couldn’t forgive Tess.In front of love, Tess was so humble.She wrote to her husband and said: I would be content, to live with you as your servant, If I may not as your wife.So that I could only be near you, and get glimpse of you, and think of you as mine.Although she loved him with all her passion, she had her own pride.She did not want to leave him use lots of methods, she just wanted him come back to her willingly, rather than forced him.When he left, she only said: May I write to you? God played with Tess so much.When her right man appeared, God yet didn’t give her happiness.Tess didn’t make any mistakes, but at last, she born all punishments and sufferings.At first, God had let the two persons miss each other.A tragedy was doomed.But perhaps no love, no hatred, no dignity, death was the best way for Tess to extricate herself.What the love really it is, it is worthy someone to afford their lives for it? Why only the women had to pay? I thought of these problems 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”!
