It is also a realistic novel which reflects the miserable fate of the individual farmer of England in the late of 19th century. Tess’s tragedy is a true portrayal of the poor of her time.

(完整word版)Tess的人物分析

“Tess” from the Tess of the d'Urbervilles Tess is one of the most sympathetic protagonists from all the piteous souls of the worl d’s literature. Not only sympathy but also remorse I felt after I finished reading this book. Though god bestowed her with beautiful appearance, intelligent mind and innocent heart, these cannot bring her a happy life. On the contrary, these gifts from the god doom her to a sad ending. I think her tragic life can be arranged into three aspects: from her family members, from Alec d’Urberville and from Angel Clare, and these three aspects of pressure lead her to the character of tough-minded, proud and independent. The destiny tortured her soul and forced her into yielding to her own des tiny.From her family members:Tess’s family represents the ordinary farmers in England in the late nineteenth century. They were insulted by the rich, suffered from poverty , and dreaming one day they will become aristocracy and live a life without considering the shelter, food and clothing.From the first chapter of this book we can see that: his father was insane when he heard about he was the descendent of declined nobility. Then he squandered his money which was quite not much already, and he kept telling everybody in the village the “good news”.T hey are dreaming about that the title of the nobility will help them get rid of the poverty. Actually, the truth is: Tess’s clan was once glorious and powerful but now it has sadly diminished. For them, the nobility cannot give them any material benefit but only the vanity. Even so, they gladly accepted it and, in other words, cherish it. In another way, the title lead them live a more difficult life than they used to be. When they were too poor to meet the basic need of life, Tess’s parent made a decision, which marked the start of Tess’s tragic life: to come to the d'Urbervilles family for help.Tess is the eldest child in her family; there is no wonder that she should take more responsibilities of her family. She needs to raise her family, take care of her siblings and follow the instructions from her parent. Her parent were always dreaming about one day, her beautiful appearance and the title of nobility would bring them good luck--married with the real nobility.They little care about her; they never protect her and they just count her as the main economic source of the family. From this aspect we can see that throughout the whole childhood, Tess lost the love from her family members and took more pressure than her parents. She can talk to nobody; she cannot share her worries with others. All if these lead to her oppressed emotion. From Alec d’Urberville:Alec is definitely the evil and nightmare of Tess’s life. From the beginning, he was totally a fake. He hired a big fortune, and held a name that his father purchased.The plot to The Slopes, which is at the beginning of the novel and her subsequent return to Alec near the novel's end, are all predicated on her willingness to undergo great pains to make her family's life better.Alec raped Tess and ruined her whole life. He made Tess delivered a child and felt no responsibility for her. The child’s death hurt her heart for the second time. At that time society regarded a girl who had lost her virginity a meant to be unclean. He did all the bad things and it had Tess who undertook all the consequences.When Angel heard that Tess was apart from her new husband, he came to find her again. Pretending to be a devout believer, he used money to tempt her. He is an adversity haunting around her. Tess is weak, and she dare not to revolt. From Angel Clare:Just like his name--angel. He is truly the angel of Tess’s life. However, this angel did not bring much happiness to her. In reverse, he made her endure more pain. Angel and Tess are meant to be together; both of them are so innocent that they cherish a pure attitude towards life. But he submitted himself to the secular thought--she is uncleanness. He discarded his wife and went to the South America on his own. He punished Tess by letting her live alone without mercy. He even said:”You are not the pure Tess which I have thought. You have changed.”After he came back from South America he found that he was wrong; he shouldn’t let her alone. But it was too late, the evil defeated the angel for the second time.Poor Tess, she was so wretched that she was hurt by the man she hated most and the man she loved most. She was helpless because the whole society regarded her as an “unclean woman”. She is so self-esteemed that she refused to ask Angel's parents for any additional money during Angel's sojourn to Brazil. She is determined to be self-sufficient and willing to sacrifice her well being for the good of others. These make her selfless and on a morally higher status than other characters in this novel.。

《德伯家的苔丝》悲剧成因分析-文献综述

《德伯家的苔丝》悲剧成因分析-文献综述

英语学术论文写作课程作业班级:09级教学一班行政十班学号:姓名:一、文献综述《德伯家的苔丝》是十九世纪英国著名小说家托马斯·哈代的一部伟大著作,被认为是哈代思想艺术上最成熟的一部作品。

问世一百多年以来,深受读者喜爱,吸引着一批又一批学者的关注和研究。

国内外不少读者和评论者大多认为,此小说最突出的成就是成功塑造了女主人公苔丝的形象,他们都从不同的角度解读女主人公苔丝的形象。

刘开富(2007)从悲观主义角度出发来解读苔丝的命运,从而阐述了19世纪英国社会、经济、法律宗教和虚伪道德对人们生活带来的影响;钱艳秋(2011)分析了苔丝的反抗精神,苔丝的反抗完成了从被动到主动,从无意识到富于理性,从盲目到成熟的转变,从而塑造了富有个性独具魅力的主人公形象。

杨阳(2010)结合生态女性主义原则从男性与女性关系,人类与自然关系两方面来揭示哈代《德伯家的苔丝》中苔丝的悲剧根源。

通过用生态女性主义理论分析苔丝的悲剧根源,使读者认识到维多利亚时期社会转型期内的历史性的巨变不是进步,反而代表着失望和遗憾。

尤其对与自然有紧密联系的女性来说,工业革命和现代化的生活方式都导致她们逐步的脱离自然。

杜姝(2009)以马克思主义女性主义理论为基础,认为在资本主义社会和父权制社会下,苔丝的悲剧是不可避免的。

还有大多数读者从各种不同的角度对苔丝悲剧的根源进行探析,如:聂珍钊(1992)先生在其著作《悲戚而刚毅的艺术家》中明确指出“直接决定这个女子悲惨命运的是她的贫穷,社会上虚伪的伦理道德和不公正的法律制度。

”杨永和,张小燕(2002)从英雄主义的定义和标准着手,探讨了哈代的小说《德伯家的苔丝》中苔丝人物形象分析的一个重要方面,即苔丝的英雄主义形象。

通过对苔丝不同阶段的英雄主义行为的实证分析,探讨了苔丝的英雄主义行为和其悲剧的关系。

认为是苔丝的英雄主义导致了她的悲剧。

其中大部分人把苔丝的悲剧归咎于社会环境、苔丝的性格以及她自身的悲剧命运有些人认为她的悲剧归因于她的性格和命运。

高人解析tess 苔丝

高人解析tess 苔丝

苔丝悲剧的原因也表现在世俗道德偏见的作弄以及伪善的宗教迫害。

苔丝生活在19 世纪80 年代,按世俗道德,妇女失去贞操就是不洁、不忠,所以一个女子失去贞操就只能与这个男子结合。

正是这样一种世俗道德使苔丝在被亚雷玷污后身心备受煎熬,即使是受过先进资产阶级进步思想教育过的克莱也未能摆脱世俗道德偏见。

苔丝在新婚之夜说出了自己未婚先孕的不幸往事,但未得到克莱的同情和原谅。

克莱认为她是“一个冒名顶替的骗子,一个伪装成纯洁少女的罪妇。

”莱最终抛弃了苔丝,使她再次陷入绝望之中。

可见世俗的偏见葬送了苔丝的爱情,也剥夺了苔丝追求爱情的权利。

社会普遍的道德观都是与宗教紧密联系在一起的。

资产阶级道德视她为伤风败俗的不洁的女人,而宗教思想的渗透也使苔丝本身承受了巨大的精神压力,使苔丝精神上一步步陷入悲剧的深渊。

苔丝思想上深受宗教教义影响,当她的私生子快要病死的时候,她想到的还是婴儿没有受过洗礼,死后无法升入天堂,因此急忙去牧师那里希望可以得到洗礼却被拒绝。

尽管苔丝因绝望而对宗教产生过质疑,但她始终无法摆脱宗教的阴影,不停地用宗教观念想像、解释、象征自己的不幸遭遇。

在她与克莱的关系上,也暴露出资产阶级婚姻制度和道德观念的虚伪和残暴。

品德败坏的资产者可以任意玩弄女性,但一切后果又都归罪于女性。

正如恩格斯所说:“凡在妇女方面被认为是犯罪并且要引起严重的法律后果和社会后果的一切,对于男人却认为是一光荣,至多也不过被当作可以欣然接受的道德上的小污点。

在资产阶级社会里,宗教只是反动统治阶级用以麻醉、欺骗和愚弄劳动人民的工具,道德与法律也只是维护和服务于上流阶层社会的。

T ess of the reasons for the tragedy but also in secular bias and moral hypocrisy of the religious persecution. Tess lives in 19 in the 1980s, according to secular ethics, women lose their virginity is dirty, infidelity, a woman can only lose virginity with this man on the combination. It is exactly such a secular morality that Tess in the Ya - lei been tarnished after the physical and psychological torment, even if progress is well advanced bourgeois ideological education Klein had failed to shake off the secular moral prejudices. Tess in the wedding night expressed their unwed pregnant unfortunate events of the past, but not Klein's sympathy and forgiveness. Klein that she was "a liar the identity of a girl disguised as a pure crime of UNIFEM." Levin eventually abandoned T ess, she once again into despair. Visibility secular bias resulted in the love Tess, Tess also deprived of the right to the pursuit of love. Society in general moral values and religion are closely linked. Bourgeois morality to corrupt public morals as her dirty woman, and the infiltration of religious ideology also Tess itself under severe psychological pressure so that the spirit of Tess step by step into the abyss of tragedy. Tess ideologically affected by religious doctrine, the illegitimate child when she died about the time she thinking about the baby have not received baptism, unable to ascend to heaven after death, rushed to the pastor baptized there can be hope was rejected. Although Tess of religion because of despair have been questioned, but she has never been able to shake off the shadow of religious goal to imagine with a religious concept, explained that the symbol of their unfortunate experience. In her relationship with Klein, has also revealed that bourgeois marriage and the moral values of hypocrisy and brutality. Moral corruption of the assets can be playing with women, but also all the consequences of all blame women. As Engels said: "Where women are considered serious crimes and to the legal consequences and socialconsequences for all, the men he considered it as a glorious, and at most can only be regarded as morally embrace of a small stain. in bourgeois society, religious reactionary ruling class is only for the anesthesia to cheat and fool the working people the tools, moral and legal only in the maintenance and service sectors of the upper reaches of society.苔丝在小说中露面时,家庭已经到了崩溃的边缘。

苔丝形象的分析与悲剧命运的解读

苔丝形象的分析与悲剧命运的解读

苔丝形象的分析与悲剧命运的解读苔丝(Tess)是英国作家托马斯·哈代的长篇小说《苔丝·达布维尔的命运》中的女主角,她的形象是该小说中的核心。

苔丝的命运揭示了一种无法逃避的悲剧,她的经历和性格展示了社会与命运的残酷真相。

通过对苔丝形象的深入分析,我们可以更好地理解和解读她的悲剧命运。

首先,苔丝是一个美丽而智慧的少女。

她从小生活在一个贫穷的农村家庭中,却有着非凡的美貌和聪明才智。

她的美貌与灵性使她成为时代的象征,吸引了许多男人的注意。

然而,正是这种美丽和智慧最终导致了苔丝的悲剧命运。

她的容貌成为了她的负累,社会对于外貌的偏见和对女性的歧视阻碍了她的发展和幸福。

其次,苔丝的个性特点也为她带来了悲剧。

她是一个善良纯洁,忠诚坚强的女性。

她对待感情真挚而执着,对待自己奋发向上,但却经常受到他人的伤害和背叛。

她的善良和纯洁让她成为了社会道德和观念的牺牲品,她所面对的是一个以男性为中心、价值观触碰的社会。

苔丝的悲剧命运还与她的家庭背景和社会环境有关。

她出生在一个卑贱的家庭,贫穷和社会地位使她缺乏基本的社会保障和资源。

她在成长过程中遭遇了许多困难和不公正待遇,这进一步削弱了她的信心和勇气。

最重要的是,苔丝的命运受到了性别歧视和社会规范的限制。

在当时的社会,女性的地位被严重压抑,他们缺乏独立和自由的权利。

这使得苔丝在情感和家庭选择上受到了强烈的束缚和控制。

她的痛苦和命运最终来自于对传统观念的局限,以及对女性价值的不公正评判。

通过对苔丝形象的深入分析,我们可以看到她的命运是社会的产物,她的遭遇是时代背景和社会制度的必然结果。

哈代通过苔丝的故事向读者展示了社会不公和性别歧视的严重性,揭示了个体与社会力量的悲剧冲突。

正是这种冲突和压迫最终导致了苔丝的悲剧命运。

通过这个悲剧命运的解读,我们可以更好地理解和思考自身所处的社会环境和命运。

苔丝的故事是一个警钟,提醒着我们对于社会不公和个体权利的关注。

我们应该努力争取平等和自由,不被社会压迫和规范束缚。

读《tess》后感

读《tess》后感

1、伯德家的苔丝》,乍一看,看成了《伯爵家的苔丝》,一下子就想到了富家千金的故事,后来才知道,不是这样的。

再一个比较特殊的地方就是这本书的一个副题“一个纯洁的女人”,看到这我的好奇心就来了。

纯洁?主人公凭什么能被叫做纯洁?也许是“纯洁”这个词在现实生活中遇到太多次,但同时又失望太多次。

主人公经历些什么?勾起我探索的心。

2、《 Tess of the D' Urbervilles》是英国著名小说家、诗人托马斯·哈代所著的最成熟的一本书。

讲述了女主人公苔丝·杜伯菲尔德,一个清纯、善良而坚强的美丽的乡村少女在坎坷的封建礼教、虚伪的世故人情中抗争、保存自己的纯洁与追寻自己的爱情的故事。

这是发生在十九世纪英国南部农村宗法制社会毁灭、农村社会的变迁过程中旧思想向新思想过度中的一个悲情故事!这可能也是古今大作的一个共同特点,无法摆脱的“悲”情。

我真怀疑是不是好的东西都要以悲为尾。

3、女主人公苔丝,不,用“苔丝·杜伯菲尔德”更合适,她是一个天真、美丽、善良、诚实、勇敢、纯洁、自尊心强的女人,也正因为如此才显得与那个社会格格不入,被阿力克意外侮辱后,她并没有采用向她妈妈期望的那样嫁给这个花花公子阿力克的途径而走向富裕,而是选择坚守自己纤细却坚韧的自尊心。

远离了豪华庄园,带着肚子里意外出现的孩子,带着她周围鄙夷的目光(甚至来自当时她最亲的人),与种种压迫她的抗争着。

苔丝的王子安琪儿,他是一个帅气实践家、浪漫理想主义者,他放弃牧师生涯、放弃了那所谓的高贵的地位,而去做牛奶厂的一位小实习工(也因此与苔丝相逢并相爱),甘心去做最底层的农民阶层,只为追随内心的自由、去亲近自然。

奶牛场里的确有很多漂亮的姑娘暗恋他,但在苔丝到来前他却将其视为无物。

至于理想主义,个人觉得安琪儿跟徐志摩在爱情上有些相像,都是体内充满浪漫的因子的人,且心目中都有自己心目中的理想女人,最爱的也是自己所4、幻想出来的那个女人。

哈代死后被安葬在威斯敏斯特教堂哈代最有成就的作品是名为“威塞克斯小说”的一系列小说。

苔丝就是其中之一。

女主人公苔丝是一个勤劳善良、美丽纯朴的农家姑娘,同时在她身上又有着可贵的坚强、自尊和大胆反抗厄运的品格。

作者也真实地写到了苔丝身上的弱点。

苔丝明显受到旧道德和宿命论思想的影响。

他是个有开明思想的知识分子ANGLE具有天使的特征他本性善良聪明是智慧的化身他是苔丝的真爱。

但他坚持资产阶级的伦理道德,不能接受苔丝失去贞操。

19世纪中期英国资本主义工业文明侵入农村,哈代的故乡也遭到强大的冲击,其宗法社会迅速解体,个体农民在经济上陷入失业、贫困的悲惨境地。

苔丝生活的时代是19世纪80年代。

此时,英国资本主义不仅在都市长足发展,资本主义大规模的经营方式在农村也开始萌芽。

随着资本主义的侵入,家长制统治下的英国农村一步步趋向崩溃,造成个体农民的破产,走向贫困。

苔丝的悲剧始于为了全家人生计去远亲家打工,却因年幼无知而被亚雷骗去了处女的贞操,成了一个“堕落”的女人,受到社会舆论的非议,把她看成不贞洁的罪人;苔丝后来与青年克莱相爱,又因为新婚之夜坦诚有污点的过去而被丈夫遗弃,而与近在眼前的幸福失之交臂;出于高度的家庭责任感和自我牺牲精神,苔丝为换取家人的生存而再次违愿沦为亚雷的情妇;最后因为丈夫的回心转意使得绝望的苔丝愤而举起了复仇的利刃,终于成了一个杀人犯,最后不得不付出了生命的代价。

凭心而论,作家哈代对苔丝倾注了全部的爱,的确是把苔丝作为理想的典型在那里塑造。

苔丝不仅外貌长得美若天仙,而且纯洁、诚实、天真、以善待人,是一个朴素可爱的农家姑娘。

她的不幸遭遇曾令无数读者唏嘘不已。

人们在对她的悲剧命运表示同情的同时,又对她的悲剧成因进行过无数探讨。

一般来讲,国外评论一直倾向于认为“苔丝是命运的牺牲品”;国内评论则倾向于认为苔丝的悲剧是社会的悲剧。

近年来,国内对苔丝悲剧成因的探讨有了一些发展,认为她的悲剧“既是社会的悲剧,同时也是性格悲剧与命运悲剧”。

本文将从社会、家庭、性格三个方面分析苔丝的悲剧产生原因,并对苔丝的悲剧所具有的现实意义进行分析。

2.苔丝的悲剧及现实意义分析2.1 社会角度2.1.1经济制约经济力量从根本上决定着苔丝的悲剧。

因此,社会中的人,在一定的经济条件下,在特定的阶级集团中形成他们的性格。

苔丝本人和与她产生关系的资产阶级人物身上都带有本阶级的印记,这种由社会所决定的性格在苔丝的悲剧中起到了作用。

(戚白雪,2013)在资本主义的冲击下,小农经济解体了,丧失了生产、生活资料的农民依靠勤劳是不可能摆脱贫困的。

贫困一直是苔丝悲剧的推动力,并且最终导致了她的毁灭。

在苔丝的父亲病死,母亲妹弟无处容身的情况下,有钱的亚雷得到了苔丝。

苔丝在强大的道德、宗教压力下不曾屈服,但面对经济压力,苔丝放弃了自己视同生命的爱情;亚雷利用暴力手段以及伪善的宗教面具,都没有使他得到苔丝,但他利用金钱帮助苔丝家人摆脱了经济困境,却使苔丝屈服了。

AbstractTess, the heroine in Tess of the D'urbevilles, is depicted as a victim of the society. Being a beautiful, innocents honest, sweet-natured, and hard-working country girl, she is easily taken in and abused by the hypocritical bourgeoisie, constantly suppressed by the social comventions and moral values of the day, and eventually executed by the unfair legal system of the society. Her obsolute obedience to Angel as her weakness in character but also is an inevitability in a girl of her upbringing. And most important of all, it is the poverty of the family that forces her to improper relations once and again with Alec, and finally, to his muroler and her execution. On one hand, Tess's fate is personal, because she happens to be so beautiful, so pure, so innocent, so obedient, and so poor, and because she happens to get involved with the two men who, though apparent rivals, actually join their forecs in bringing about her destruction. On the other hand, her fate is a social one. It can be the fate of all the peasants who are driven out of their land and home and forced to seek somewhere else for sustenance.Analysis of major characters.Ⅰ.Tess DurbeyfieldTess of D’Ubervilles describes a tragedy of peasant girl-Tess-betraged and ruined by two men. Intelligent strikingly, and distinguished by her deep moral sensitivity and passionate intensity, Tess is indisputably the central character of the novel that bears his name. In part, Tess represents that changing role of the agricultural workers in England in the late nineteenth century. Possessing and education that her unschooled parents lack, since she has passed the Sixth Standard of the National Schools, Tess does not quite fit into the folk culture of her predecessors, but financial constraints keep her from rising to a higher station in life. She belongs in that higher world, however, as we discover on the first page of the novel with the news that the Durbeyfields are the surviving members of the noble and ancient family of the D’Urbervilles. There is aristocracy in Tess’s blood, visible in her graceful beauty-yet she is forced do work as a farmhand and milkmaid. When she tries to express her joy by singing lower-class folk ballads at the beginning of the third part of the novel, the do not satisfy her-she seems not quite comfortable with those popular songs. But, on the other hand, her diction, while more polished than her mother’s, is not quite up to the level of Alec’s or Angel’s. She is in between, both socially and culturally. Thus, Tess is a symbol of unclear and unstable notions of class in nineteenth-century Britain, 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 b iblical 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 of succumbing for which they 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.Ⅱ. Alec D’UrbervilleAlec D’Urberville is the nemesis and downfall of Tess’s life. His first name, Alexander suggest s the conqueror-as in Alexander the Great seizes what he wants regardless of moral propriety. Y et he is more slippery than a grand conqueror. His full last name, Stoke-D’urbervilles, symbolizes the split character of his family, whose origins are simpler than their pretensions to grandeur. Aft er all, Stokes is a blunt and inelegant name. Indeed, the divided and duplicitous character of Ale c is evident to the very end of this novel, when he quickly abandons his newfound Christian fait h upon remeeting Tess. It is hard to believe Alec holds his religion, or anything else, sincerely. H is supposed conversion may only be a new role he is playing.This duplicity of character is so intense in Alec, and its consequences for Tess so severe, th at he becomes diabolical. The first part of his surname conjures associations with fiery energies, as in the stoking of a furnace or the flames of hell. His devilish associations are evident when h e wields a pitchfork while addressing Tess early in the novel, and when he seduces her as the serpent in Genesis seduced Eve. Additionally, like the famous depiction of Satan in Milton’s Para dise Lost, Alec does not try to hide his bad qualities. In fact, like Satan, he revels in them. In C hapter 12, he bluntly tells Tess, “I suppose I am a bad fellow-a damn bad fellow. I was born ba dly, and I have lived badly, and I shall die bad, in all probability.”There is frank acceptance in t his admission and no shame. Some readers feel Alec is too wicked to be believable, but, like Te ss herself, he represents a larger moral principle rather than a real individual man. Like Satan, A lec symbolizes the base forces of life that drive a person away from moral perfection and greatn ess.Ⅲ. Angel ClareThe other hero in the novel is Angel Clare, he is a freethinking son born into the family of a pro vincial person and determined to set himself up as a farmer instead of going to Cambridge like his conformist brothers, Angel represents a rebellious striving toward a personal vision of goodne ss. He is a secularist who yearns to work for the “honor and glory of man,”as he tells his fath er in chapter 18, rather than for the honor and glory of God in a more distant world. A typical y oung nineteenth-century progressive, Angel sees human society as a thing to be remolded and i mproved, and he fervently believes in the nobility of man. He rejects the values handed to him, and sets off in search of his own. His love for Tess, a mere milkmaid and his social inferior, is one expression of his distain for tradition. This independent spirit contributes to his aura of charis ma and general attractiveness that makes him the love object of all the milkmaids with whom he works at Talbothays.As his name-in French, close to “Bright Angel”-suggests, Angel is not quite of this world, but flo ats above it in a transcendent sphere of his own. The narrator says that Angel shines rather tha n burns and that he is closer to the intellectually aloof poet Shelley than to the fleshly and passi onate poet Byron. His love for Tess may be abstract, as we guess when he calls her “Daughter of Nature”or “Demeter.”Tess may be more an archetype or ideal to him than a flesh and bloo d woman with a complicated life. Angel’s ideals of human purity are too elevated to be applied t o actual people: Mrs. Durbeyfield’s easygoing moral beliefs are much more easily accommodated to real lives such as Tess’s.Angel awakens to the actual complexities of real-world morality after his failure in Brazil, and onl y then he realizes has been unfair to Tess. His moral system is readjusted as he brought down to Earth. Ironically, it is not the angel who guides the human in this novel, but the human who i nstructs the angel, although at the cost of her own life。

AbstractTess, the heroin ein Tess of the D'urbevilles, is depicted as a victim of the society. Being a beautiful, innocents honest, s weet-natured, and hard-working country girl, she is easily take n in and abused by the hypocritical bourgeoisie, constantly su ppressed by the social comventions and moral values of the d ay, and eventually executed by the unfair legal system of the society. Her obsolute obedience to Angel as her weakness in character but also is an inevitability in a girl of her upbringing. And most important of all, it is the poverty of the family that forces her to improper relations once and again with Alec, an d finally, to his muroler and her execution. On one hand, Tess 's fate is personal, because she happens to be so beautiful, s o pure, so innocent, so obedient, and so poor, and because s he happens to get involved with the two men who, though ap parent rivals, actually join their forecs in bringing about her de struction. On the other hand, her fate is a social one. It can be the fate of all the peasants who are driven out of their lan d and home and forced to seek somewhere else for sustenan ce.Chapter One: Thomas HardyTess of D’Ubervilles is the masterpiece of English literature. T homas Hardy, the author of this novel, was born on June 2, 1 840, in Higher Bockhamptom in Dorset, a rural region of sout hwestern England that was to become the focus of his fiction. He was an English novelist and poet, one of the great Englis h writers in the 19th century. The child of a builder, Hardy wa s apprenticed at the age of sixteen to John Hicks, an architec t who lived in city of Dorchester. Although he gave serious th ought to attending university and entering the church, a strugg le he would dramatize in his novel Jude the Obscure,declinin g religious faith and lack of money led Hardy to pursue a car eer in writing instead. Despite his employment, Hardy was writ ing continually during his life. Such early novels as Desperate Remedies(1871) and A pair of Blue Eyes(1873) met with sma ll success and may be considered formative work. Over the n ext 22 years, Hardy wrote many novels, and Far from the Ma dding Growd,published in 1874, was the author’s first critical. To hardy, novels were primarily a means of earning a living. L ike many of his contemporaries, he first published his novels in periodic installments in magazines of serialization. To ensure that readers would buy a serialized novel, writers often struct ured each installment to be something of a cliffhanger, which explained the convoluted, often incredible plots of many such Victorian novels. But Hardy cannot solely be labeled a Victoria n novelist. Nor can he be categorized simply as a Modernist, in the tradition of writers like Virginia Woolf or D.H. Lawrence, who were determined to explode the conventions of nineteent h-century literature and build a new kind of novel in its place. In many respects, Hardy was trapped in the middle ground b etween the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, between Victori an sensibilities and more modern ones, and between tradition and innovation.Soon after Tess of D’Ubervilles(1891) was published, its sale assured Hardy’s financial future. But the novel also aroused a substantial amount of controversy. In Tess of D’Ubervilles an d other novels, Hardy demonstrates his deep sense of moral sympathy for England’s lower classes, particularly for rural wo men. He became famous for his compassionate, often controv ersial portrayal of young women victimized by the self-righteou s rigidity of English social morality.Hardy lived and wrote in a time of difficult social change, when England was making its slow and painful transition from an old-fashioned, agricultural nation to a modern, industrial one. B usinessmen and entrepreneurs, or “new money,”joined the ra nks of the social elite, as some families of the ancient aristocr acy, or “old money,”faded into obscurity. Tess’s family in Tes s of D’Ubervilles illustrates this change, as Tess’s parents, the Durberyfields, lose themselves in the fantasy of belonging to an ancient and aristocratic family, the D’Urberbilles.Hardy was frustrated by the controversy caused by his work, and he finally abandoned novel-writing altogether following Jud e the Obscure.He spent the rest of his career writing poetry. Though today he is remembered somewhat more for his novel s, he was an acclaimed poet in his time and was buried in th e prestigious Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey following hi s death in 1928.Chapter Two: Analysis of major characters.Ⅰ.Tess DurbeyfieldTess of D’Ubervilles describes a tragedy of peasant girl-Tess-b etraged and ruined by two men. Intelligent strikingly, and distinguished by her deep moral sensitivity and passionate intensity, Tess is indisputably the central character of the novel that be ars his name. In part, Tess represents that changing role of th e agricultural workers in England in the late nineteenth centur y. Possessing and education that her unschooled parents lack, since she has passed the Sixth Standard of the National Sch ools, Tess does not quite fit into the folk culture of her predec essors, but financial constraints keep her from rising to a high er station in life. She belongs in that higher world, however, a s we discover on the first page of the novel with the news th at the Durbeyfields are the surviving members of the noble an d ancient family of the D’Urbervilles. There is aristocracy in T ess’s blood, visible in her graceful beauty-yet she is forced do work as a farmhand and milkmaid. When she tries to expres s her joy by singing lower-class folk ballads at the beginning of the third part of the novel, the do not satisfy her-she seem s not quite comfortable with those popular songs. But, on the other hand, her diction, while more polished than her mother’s, is not quite up to the level of Alec’s or Angel’s. She is in between, both socially and culturally. Thus, Tess is a symbol o f unclear and unstable notions of class in nineteenth-century B ritain, 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 n ovel remind us. Just as Tess’s clan was once glorious and po werful but is now sadly diminished, so too did the early glory of the first humans, Adam and Eve, fade with their expulsion f rom Eden, making humans sad shadows of what they once w ere. Tess thus represents what is known in Christian theology as original sin, the degraded state in which all humans live, e ven when-like Tess herself after killing Prince of succumbing f or which they are punished. This torment represents the most universal side of Tess: she is the myth of the human who su ffers for crimes that are not her own and lives a life more de graded than she deserves.Ⅱ. Alec D’UrbervilleAlec D’Urberville is the nemesis and downfall of Tess’s lif e. His first name, Alexander suggests the conqueror-as in Ale xander the Great seizes what he wants regardless of moral pr opriety. Yet he is more slippery than a grand conqueror. His f ull last name, Stoke-D’urbervilles, symbolizes the split characte r of his family, whose origins are simpler than their pretensions to grandeur. After all, Stokes is a blunt and inelegant name. Indeed, the divided and duplicitous character of Alec is evide nt to the very end of this novel, when he quickly abandons hi s newfound Christian faith upon remeeting Tess. It is hard to believe Alec holds his religion, or anything else, sincerely. His supposed conversion may only be a new role he is playing.This duplicity of character is so intense in Alec, and its c onsequences for Tess so severe, that he becomes diabolical. The first part of his surname conjures associations with fiery e nergies, as in the stoking of a furnace or the flames of hell. His devilish associations are evident when he wields a pitchfor k while addressing Tess early in the novel, and when he sedu ces her as the serpent in Genesis seduced Eve. Additionally, l ike the famous depiction of Satan in Milton’s Paradise Lost, A lec does not try to hide his bad qualities. In fact, like Satan, he revels in them. In Chapter 12, he bluntly tells Tess, “I sup pose I am a bad fellow-a damn bad fellow. I was born badly, and I have lived badly, and I shall die bad, in all probability.”There is frank acceptance in this admission and no shame. S ome readers feel Alec is too wicked to be believable, but, like Tess herself, he represents a larger moral principle rather tha n a real individual man. Like Satan, Alec symbolizes the baseforces of life that drive a person away from moral perfection and greatness.Ⅲ. Angel ClareThe other hero in the novel is Angel Clare, he is a freethinkin g son born into the family of a provincial person and determin ed to set himself up as a farmer instead of going to Cambrid ge like his conformist brothers, Angel represents a rebellious s triving toward a personal vision of goodness. He is a secularis t who yearns to work for the “honor and glory of man,”as he tells his father in chapter 18, rather than for the honor and g lory of God in a more distant world. A typical young nineteent h-century progressive, Angel sees human society as a thing to be remolded and improved, and he fervently believes in the nobility of man. He rejects the values handed to him, and set s off in search of his own. His love for Tess, a mere milkmaid and his social inferior, is one expression of his distain for tra dition. This independent spirit contributes to his aura of charis ma and general attractiveness that makes him the love object of all the milkmaids with whom he works at Talbothays.As his name-in French, close to “Bright Angel”-suggests, Ange l is not quite of this world, but floats above it in a transcendent sphere of his own. The narrator says that Angel shines rat her than burns and that he is closer to the intellectually aloof poet Shelley than to the fleshly and passionate poet Byron. Hi s love for Tess may be abstract, as we guess when he calls her “Daughter of Nature”or “Demeter.”Tess may be more an archetype or ideal to him than a flesh and blood woman with a complicated life. Angel’s ideals of human purity are too ele vated to be applied to actual people: Mrs. Durbeyfield’s easyg oing moral beliefs are much more easily accommodated to rea l lives such as Tess’s.Angel awakens to the actual complexities of real-world morality after his failure in Brazil, and only then he realizes has been unfair to Tess.

“Tess” from the Tess of the d'Urbervilles Tess is one of the most sympathetic protagonists from all the piteous souls of the worl d’s literature. Not only sympathy but also remorse I felt after I finished reading this book. Though god bestowed her with beautiful appearance, intelligent mind and innocent heart, these cannot bring her a happy life. On the contrary, these gifts from the god doom her to a sad ending. I think her tragic life can be arranged into three aspects: from her family members, from Alec d’Urberville and from Angel Clare, and these three aspects of pressure lead her to the character of tough-minded, proud and independent. The destiny tortured her soul and forced her into yielding to her own des tiny.From her family members:Tess’s family represents the ordinary farmers in England in the late nineteenth century. They were insulted by the rich, suffered from poverty , and dreaming one day they will become aristocracy and live a life without considering the shelter, food and clothing.From the first chapter of this book we can see that: his father was insane when he heard about he was the descendent of declined nobility. Then he squandered his money which was quite not much already, and he kept telling everybody in the village the “good news”.T hey are dreaming about that the title of the nobility will help them get rid of the poverty. Actually, the truth is: Tess’s clan was once glorious and powerful but now it has sadly diminished. For them, the nobility cannot give them any material benefit but only the vanity. Even so, they gladly accepted it and, in other words, cherish it. In another way, the title lead them live a more difficult life than they used to be. When they were too poor to meet the basic need of life, Tess’s parent made a decision, which marked the start of Tess’s tragic life: to come to the d'Urbervilles family for help.Tess is the eldest child in her family; there is no wonder that she should take more responsibilities of her family. She needs to raise her family, take care of her siblings and follow the instructions from her parent. Her parent were always dreaming about one day, her beautiful appearance and the title of nobility would bring them good luck--married with the real nobility.They little care about her; they never protect her and they just count her as the main economic source of the family. From this aspect we can see that throughout the whole childhood, Tess lost the love from her family members and took more pressure than her parents. She can talk to nobody; she cannot share her worries with others. All if these lead to her oppressed emotion. From Alec d’Urberville:Alec is definitely the evil and nightmare of Tess’s life. From the beginning, he was totally a fake. He hired a big fortune, and held a name that his father purchased.The plot to The Slopes, which is at the beginning of the novel and her subsequent return to Alec near the novel's end, are all predicated on her willingness to undergo great pains to make her family's life better.Alec raped Tess and ruined her whole life. He made Tess delivered a child and felt no responsibility for her. The child’s death hurt her heart for the second time. At that time society regarded a girl who had lost her virginity a meant to be unclean. He did all the bad things and it had Tess who undertook all the consequences.When Angel heard that Tess was apart from her new husband, he came to find her again. Pretending to be a devout believer, he used money to tempt her. He is an adversity haunting around her. Tess is weak, and she dare not to revolt. From Angel Clare:Just like his name--angel. He is truly the angel of Tess’s life. However, this angel did not bring much happiness to her. In reverse, he made her endure more pain. Angel and Tess are meant to be together; both of them are so innocent that they cherish a pure attitude towards life. But he submitted himself to the secular thought--she is uncleanness. He discarded his wife and went to the South America on his own. He punished Tess by letting her live alone without mercy. He even said:”You are not the pure Tess which I have thought. You have changed.”After he came back from South America he found that he was wrong; he shouldn’t let her alone. But it was too late, the evil defeated the angel for the second time.Poor Tess, she was so wretched that she was hurt by the man she hated most and the man she loved most. She was helpless because the whole society regarded her as an “unclean woman”. She is so self-esteemed that she refused to ask Angel's parents for any additional money during Angel's sojourn to Brazil. She is determined to be self-sufficient and willing to sacrifice her well being for the good of others. These make her selfless and on a morally higher status than other characters in this novel.(注:文档可能无法思考全面,请浏览后下载,供参考。
