哈代的婚姻贞操观
哈代反对传统妇女贞操观。 “一切有机体都 有恢复原状的能力，为什么单单处女的贞节就该没 有呢？”
树木都有眼睛，来叮问你，有没有？----我 这是说，仿佛有眼睛。河水也说：—— 你 为什么拿你的面目来搅合我？同时好像有 好多好多的明天，通排成一行，站在你面 前，头一个顶大，顶清楚，越站在后面的 就越小，但是它们却好像一概都是很凶恶、 很残忍的，仿佛说：“我来啦，留我的神 吧！留我的神吧！” 可是你，先生，会用

空间的特征是不断延伸，在不断伸延中包含着许 多点片和区域。在户外空间，作者有许多关于路的描 写，“大路”、“小路”、“小径”、“平路”、 “山脊路”比比皆是，孤立地看这些路的描写，似乎 没有多大意义，可是把它们纳入到系统中，它们便具 有了自身所没有的整体性能，它们在复合系统内部， 排列组合成了贯穿故事空间始终的漫漫长路，构成了 人物运动的轨迹和衔接巧合情节的媒介。
绘画要素：色彩词汇
运用的色彩词汇有40多 种，仅红色就有正红、朱红、 猩红、紫红、粉红、玫瑰红 和樱桃红。

____托马斯·哈代
小说作者托马 斯·哈代(1840－ 1928)是英国最伟大 的作家之一。他的 大部分作品，包括 《苔丝》，都是以 他的故乡，英国南 海岸的多尔塞特为 背景的。
简介：
苔丝，一个善良美丽的农家姑娘，却不幸的被地主 少爷亚历克玷污，怀着身孕回到家乡。孩子夭折后，他 遇到了安琪· 克莱尔 ，两人产生爱情。新婚之夜，苔丝 出于一片忠诚向克莱尔坦白。却为丈夫所不容，克莱尔 立即丢下妻子，独自前往巴西。 后来，在父亲去世，母亲重病，弟妹失学，一家人 沦落街头，克莱尔有杳无音信之际，苔丝只好“舍身救 家”，答应与地主少爷亚历克同居。谁知克莱尔回心转 意，从巴西回来寻找苔丝。苔丝悔恨交加，失手刺死欺 骗自己的亚历克。他在逃亡过程中与丈夫克莱尔共同度 过了几日幸福生活，终被逮捕并判处死刑。
生在资本主义社会的苔丝，其悲剧命运是社会规律的 必然反映。所以造成她悲剧命运的根源就是当时的资本 主义社会。是当时的社会背景造成的。 我想：其实，在那种社会，受害者不仅仅是苔丝，也 许还有上百个甚至上千个苔丝式的悲剧发生。托马斯•哈 代笔下的苔丝只是一个受害者，而他想说明的也许就是 当时社会的不公吧。作者认为最好的、最崇高的悲剧是 有价值的东西为不可抗拒的力量所毁灭的悲剧。美丽、 纯洁的大自然之女毁灭了，是苔丝的悲剧，也是人类的 悲剧。

英国文学之苔丝-Tess
Everybody will daydream sometimes.but we wil not care it anytime,Tess’s father was a dreamer,we must think about ourselves.when somebody tells us a thing which is far away from our daily life,we must think about it carefully and investigate the fact.
By---王歆
Tess of the D’urbervilles is a novel, which ends by the tragedy. It narrates the fate of a young and beautiful country girl whose name is Tess. It is a novel with a plot which is basically very simple: a girl is seduced by a man and she marries another man, who deserts her after knowing her past. She has to become the first man’s mistress because of poor life. Finally, when her husband returns to her, she hates the first man and kills him. Consequently, she is arrested and executed. Tess’s fate is dual. On one hand, it is personal, because she happens to be so beautiful, so pure, so innocent, so obedient and so poor and because she happened to get involved with the two men who, though apparent rivals, actually join their forces 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. By 袁亚

Hardy and plot of Tess苔丝PPT
The tone of his works
Because his works mainly depict the harsh realities of the bourgeois society, the tone of his works is extremely pessimistic.
The philosophy embedded in his works
Due to family poverty, Tess’s parents force her to visit the d'Urbervilles to “claim kin” with this rich relation.
Tess meets the libertine son Alec who secures her a position as poultry keeper. Alec immediately begins making advances by taking advantage of her.
Hardy’s principal works are called Wessex Novels, i.e. the novels describing the characters and environment of his native countryside called Wessex.
Thomas Hardy (1840－1928)
Hardy is a British Novelist and poet at the turn of the 19th century.
He is one of the representatives of English critical realism with a touch of naturalism.

In contrast, you can not enter her inner world if you refuse to receive her past. Love is understanding and forgiving. Love is the only reason why we live now.

• ventured to creep out of their chamber, and explore the house, leaving Tess asleep. There was no food on the premises房屋, but there was water, and he took advantage of the fog to emerge from the mansion, and fetch tea, bread, and butter from a shop in a little place two miles beyond, as also a small tin kettle and spirit-lamp, that they might get fire without smoke. His reentry awoke her; and they breakfasted on what he had brought.
Tess drew her breath fearfully, and Angel, perplexed困惑, said--

• Feeling sideways they encountered another tower-like pillar, square and uncompromising as the first; beyond it another and another. The place was all doors and pillars, some connected above by continuous architraves`A very Temple of the Winds,' he said.

His love for Tess may be abstract, as we guess when he calls her “Daughter of Nature” or “Demeter.” Like Tess, Angel has a past, when he was nearly lead into a relationship with a woman in London. When Tess relates her own tale, he seems to have forgotten his own lurid tale and denies Tess the forgiveness that she so willingly grants him.
intelligent
She possesses an education that her unschooled parents lack and has passed the Sixth Standard of the National Schools. She has curiosity that goes beyond her basic education, as demonstrated when she debates religious and moral issues with both Angel and Alec.
hardy and unselfish
She accepts blame for Prince's death; the death of her infant son, Sorrow; the loss of Angel and the destruction of her marriage. she suggests to the other milkmaids at Talbothays and Angel, that Izz, Retty, and Marian are all more acceptable for marriage to Angel than she is.
His gentlemanly ways also come to the fore when he offers to carry all four dairymaids over a swollen creek when the girls are on their way to church. It is a perfect excuse for all of the girls — Izz, Retty, Marian, and Tess — to get closer to their desire, Angel Clare himself.

Strikingly attractive and passionate hardy and unselfish intelligent innocent
innocent
she is unschooled "in the ways of the world" and therefore unable to protect herself. Tess chides her mother for not telling her full truth about a less-than-kind world: "Why didn't you tell me there was danger in men-folk?"
Freethinking Gentlemanly impractical, idealistic
A freethinking son born into the family of a provincial parson 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 goodness. His love for Tess, a mere milkmaid and his social inferior, is one expression of his disdain for tradition.
rich Evil and wicked Worldly and Sophisticated Crazy in love with Tess
An insouciant twenty-four-year-old man, heir to a fortune, and bearer of a name that his father purchased, Alec is the downfall of Tess’s life. Alec woos Tess with his suave talk and conspicuous wealth.
Strikingly attractive and passionate Throughout the novel, Hardy develops Tess as a character and describes her simple beauty. She is attractive to all men, and even her attempts to change her appearance are not enough to hide her natural beauty. She strays from her marriage only when it appears that Angel may not return to her from South America and when there is no other way to . help her destitute family. She tries to kill herself to free Angel from their marriage and refuses to ask Angel's parents for any additional money during Angel's sojourn to Brazil.
Alec buys a horse for Tess’s family in order to take advantage of her, but Tess continues to rebuff his advances at every opportunity. It is not until he rescues her from a fight, in Chapter 10, with other Trantridge workers that her fate is sealed. Sensing a chance to have Tess, Alec purposefully becomes lost in a trek through the woods. He rapes Tess while she sleeps awaiting his return. It could be argued that even after seducing Tess, Alec does indeed fall in love with her and makes his plans to have her as his own a second time.
