Appreciation on the film of Tess of the D’Urbervilles班级：09级英语六班姓名：刘江学号：40904159Appreciation on the film of Tess of the D’UrbervillesWe used 190ms to watch the film of Tess of the D’Urbervilles which gave me a deep impression. Then I would show you some my opinions about this film’s theme and pilot I agree with most.Before I introduce my opinions on the film itself, the scenes, the pilots, and the actors and the actresses, maybe Ishould begin my job at the theme, the sin and the love.In the Occident outlook, there is only one thing which can help oneself atone, it is love. In this film, Alexander’s love to Tess, and the love between Tess and Angel which constitute the complex and exciting pilots. How can we criticize these loves? Can we blame Alexander’s hypocrisy to cheat Tess? And how about Angel’s deserting to Tess? If we want to get the answer, we should analyze one question that for Alexander and Angel who hurts Tess more.We should remember that when Tess lost her precious virgin that she even didn’t know men at all, which just as what she said in the film, “At that timeI didn’t know men at all!”, but Angel didn’t want to listen to her explanation at all, neither. From the film and the book, we know at the beginning of the story, Tess was just a girl. When Alexander started his so-called love to Tess, he just concentrated on one immoral and evil job with the only goal of getting virgin of Tess. Yes, we have to admit that he was successful, Alexander got the most precious thing what Tess lost, andalso we find that was the origin of all the nightmares. But what did Tess do to fight against Alexander for her profits which belonged to at the first place? Tess left to come back home to be sneezed, bullied, and laughed by the villages, to come back to give her baby birth. Tess at that time was so simple, she didn’t know men at all, she didn’t know the society in the beginning at all, but he knew it in the end, so we should not surprise that she would accept Alexander again when she and her families got into hardship. Tess just left, without crying, without compliments, because she hadn’t love Alexander at all, what she wanted to do is to forget him as soon and completely as possible. Alexander hurt Tess in the body, the physical aspect, Tess would forgot it and no one would know her painful story if they were not pleased to gossip or Tess herself to do that , but she did, and she destroy her by herself.In the dairy factory, Tess fell in love with Angel in a mature lady position.They had the true love without doubt. But Tess thought she couldn’t cheat Angel, yes, I appreciate her good personalities, but in my opinion, maybe there always be some lies and secrets to your love which would be good for yourself and also your love. Angel didn’t listen to Tess’s explanation at all, and he just wanted to join the hypocrite who had laughed at Tess. Tess loved him so much, she forgave Angel, and wanted to have her own happy life, but Angel at that time was not standard to become her love at all, I thought. Tess lost herself in the cruel society, shedidn’t know what she should do, where she should go, whom she could believe and love. Angel used his coolness and cruel words and manners to play an actual comedy, Tess was the victim.Alexander hurt Tess in body, but Angel hurt Tess in spirit which would destroy in anyway. So I think Angel hurt Tess more, and we should blame him more. But after he came back from America, he realized his foolishmanner; he confessed it and chose his true love again. So we could say Angel was the true love to Tess.The other aspects I want to say about this film is the scenes. The nature scene in the film is very beautiful, especially the plain and wildfield in Scotland countryside. The farming scenes just draw me into the reality of harvest in my hometown. As if the film is just the reflection of the reality. In the film’s end, Tess and Angel got to the Big Stone which is famous for its long history and mystery. But we also could have an idea that the director wants to tell the audiences that the love between Tess and Angel is perpetual as the Big Stone. They separate with each other, but no one could deny their true love.That is all my opinions on this film, different people may have different views, but I just want to show mine to you.09级英语六班刘江40904159。
德伯家的苔丝 简析(英文)
My View On Tess Of The D’urbervillesBill ChengSon of a mason,Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), one of the most out-standing literalism and tragedy novelists in the UK during the Victorian period,was born near Dorchester,the area that later became the famous“Wessex”in many of his novels.In time sequence ,Hardy’s tremendous reputation was obtained by the following fictions. Under the Greenwood Tree(1872),Tess Of D’urbervilles(1891) and Jude de Obscure(1896).On January 11,1928,this last important novelist of the 19th century died.Well,today I’m going to focus on Tess Of D’urbervilles and make some simple comments on it To summarise the content,Tess is a beautiful ,innocent peasant girl.The poverty of the family forces her to merry to the D’urbervilles.Alec,the young master of the D’urbervilles,a dandy ,seduces Tess and impregnates her.Then people’s prejudice forces Tess to leave home to work on a dairy farm.There she meets Angel Clare.Then two fall in love with each other.On their wedding night ,Tess reveals her own tragic past,but Angel wouldn’t forgive her and abandoned her that very night.Helpless and hopeless,Tess has to wander from place to place,doing the hardest work and bearing the intolerable sinsult.After her father’s death,Tess undertakes the whole burden of the family.Then she has nothing to do but goes back to Alec,now a preacher. Unexpectedly, before long,Angel returns from abroad out of his repentance and guilty to Tess.Then,the poor couple reunions and Tess ,puts all the blame of her unhappiness on Alec,kills him.She flees with Angel,but finally,anfter becoming five days escapee,Tess is caught by the police and hanged to the public.Tess, a woman who committed astounded crime and was disdained by the public,was described as “A pure woman”by the writer in the sub-title of this novel.As far as I’m concerned,it’s an irony to those hypocrites,just like Alec, in Hardy’s period.No one can deny that Tess is one of Hardy’s masterpieces.The story reflect the sharp and fierce conflicts between the bourgeois society and peasantry towards the end of 19th century.Though, it was quite far from our China’s current situation.As far as I’m concerned,it still have some significant meanings to our nation,which is involved in the transformation of the society.Here,I don’t intend to analyse Alec and Angel.The former is obvious ,the later is complex.In terms of Tess,she is a pure and a littlte bit ignorant woman who was brought up even dominated with the traditional womanly moral values.Of course,Tess has some virtues, for instance, perseverance, dedication ,self-esteem and thrift.What’s more, she dares to rebellion the restriction to pursue the true love worth being praised.But her efforts are all in vain,to some extent,it’s inevitable.Living at the turn of the century,Hardy witnessed numerous injustice even cruel incidents due to the conflict I mentioned above.On the one hand,Hardy showed great sympathy for those victims,On the other hand,He was effortless in helping them.It’s evident that,his attitude towards life had negative impact on Hardy’s works.He believed that a man’s fate was predeterminatedly tragic,driven by a combined force of “nature”,both character and society.Let’s back to the Tess .Why Tess is so memorable.I think,It was Tess tragic destiny, namely, family society even religion that devasasted her.I’m sure,It was a common phenomena in Victorian period.Anyway,Thomas Hardy was the milestone of of the Victorian period in UK.Though Tess is a tragedy.The author still provide positive hope for reader.At the end,Angelmerries Tess’s sister-Lisa.That can be regarded as the symbol as the continuity of Tess’s affection for Angel.。

德伯家的苔丝英文鉴赏
Reaction to Tess of the D’UrbervillesIt’s the second time I have read the novel “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”. I have a great impression on this novel, and its author, Thomas Hardy.Thomas Hardy, born in 1840 in Dorsetshire and died in 1928, was an English novelist and poet. Thomas's father was a stonemason and his mother was interested in literature. Under his mother's influences, Hardy began to write at 22. In 1856, Hardy left school and then he apprenticed under a local architect. After that, he became an assistant to a British architect. In this time, he learned literature and philosophy by his own. In 1867, he returned to his hometown and started to write novels. "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" was one of the two most famous novels which were written in 1890s."Tess of the D'Urbervilles" narrates a story about a country girl, who is innocent, beautiful, bright and plain killing a man after being driven desperate. At the beginning of the novel, Tess helps her father to deliver goods into the town by driving a cart. However, she bumps into a mail cart in the dark night. As a result, the old horse is hurt to death in this accident. So Tess gets into a big trouble. In order to atone for her crime and also to support her family, she goes to work in D'Urbervilles'. During these days, one day Alec rapes her in woods. After losing her virginity, Tess leaves Alec and goes home. She gives birth to a child at home, but unfortunately, the child dies soon. Then, she works in a dairy factory and falls in love with Angel Clare. On their wedding night, Clare knows that Tess has lost her virginity. So, he leaves Tess to Brazil. Poor Tess goes to work in anther factory. After her father's death, the landlord takes back the house. Tess has to go back to Alec, so that her families could have a place to live. One day, Clare returns to look for Tess suddenly when he realizes his false. In great pain, Tess kills Alec with a knife. At the end, Tess is hung to death as a murder.In the novel, Tess is a modern woman idealized by Hardy. In an ideal world of Hardy, Tess is the symbol of beauty and the embodiment of love, representing the Wessex people of all good merits: beautiful, kind, pure, plain, love and tolerance. She dares to sacrifice herself with the hope to have a good life. She has a characteristic feeling of the love and trust. The women’s gentle and brave are melted well in her. Tess is a beautiful woman with temperament, strong will and warm feelings. She’s also upright and honesty. Instead of pursuing vanities by marriage, she chooses to pursue freedom basing on self-esteem.However, the end of Tess’s life is pathetic. I felt great sympathy for her. I wonder why this beautiful and pure girl has such a pathetic ending. But, this is Tess’s fate. I never believe fate, but I have to doubt my opinions after reading the novel. Every man who has read the novel knows that her life has always been passive. She has tried to revolt her fate only once, but has lost her life. Compared with fate, she is too small, and the tragedy of Tess maybe caused by the age. Dark ages brought the opportunists a lot of money meanwhile it makes the kind people suffer the misfortunes. Although Tess fails in revolting her fate, she is so brave that I want to give her my best respect.To me, she is a brave woman who wants to get rid of the bondage of fate. Tess’s death is superior to her fate, instead of yielding to it, and we need this kind of unyielding soul. But, there are also some weaknesses in Tess’s characters. Tess is bold and she dares to fight against traditional morals to pursue her happiness, but she can’t completely set herself free from traditional morals. It shows the weak side of her characters. She has been criticized by people and persecuted by the traditional morals. And it’s so pathetic that she has always been tortured by the same traditional standard. Thus, the tragic appears deeper.Considering her tragedy, I can’t help asking who is to blame for that. Besides I’ve mentioned above, I think, at least two men have to be responsible for Tess’s tragedy, Aleck and Angel.Maybe, you’ll ask why Angel doesn’t accept the cruel truth that Tess has been raped by Alec and has given birth to a child. Why Angel leaves her? Doesn’t he love Tess? Well, I’d like to say that he loves Tess so much that he can’t stand her impurity. In his eyes, Tess is beautiful and kind, and she is the symbol of purity. He can’t accept the cruel fact and makes his best to control his love to Tess. He thinks that the girl before him is not Tess, but a girl looks like her. In his mind, the real Tess has died. His heartlessness and abortion of Tess show his hates to the fate.As for Aleck, I don’t want to say more. The tragedy he has brought to Tess is obvious. All he has done to Tess is not out of love, because love is noble, but all he wants to get from Tess is lust. Alec is wealthy and evil. He seduces Tess, and that’s the direct cause of Tess’s tragedy.We all know that another name of this novel is “A Pure Woman”. In Hardy’s eyes, Tess is pure and brave. He shows great sympathy to Tess. At that age, men dominated the society, while women didn’t realize their rights. They are limited by the traditional morals and religion rules. In the novel, Tess is a poor victim, but because of the culture of the society, the other women don’t show their sympathies to her. They criticize her and fabricate rumors to defame her. It’s such a tragedy that women don’t help women. As a boy, after reading the novel, I feel more sympathy for Tess. I don’t understand the thoughts of those people living in that age, but today, well, men and women are equal.。

德伯家的苔丝Tessofthed’Urbervilles英文读书报告经典
德伯家的苔丝Tessofthed’Urbervilles英文读书报告经典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 his suggestion 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 andsecular 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 T albothays 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 girlto 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 T ess is far away from Tess’s inner struggle. She could not confessto her lover for being terrified of losing him. And she could not give 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 her relationship 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 andvulnerable.Finally, he leaves for Brazil, leaving T ess 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 sa ys,”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 and peaceful 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.。

OUTLINE

Tess forgives Angel for his past indiscretions, but Angel cannot forgive Tess for having a child with another man. Angel going to Brazil for a year and Tess going back home.
• He rejects Tess on their wedding night when she confesses that she isn't a virgin, even though he neither.
Major characters
• Alec Stoked'Urberville — The libertine son of Simon Stokes .
The truth of love
• Tess comes over the contempt of others, but she is defeated by the man she loves most. It is so ridiculous! I have guessed that if Angel has not abandoned her, all things may be totally different. Angel does not like his name means. He is not the angel that god sent to save her. He is not deserved her sacrifice. Why can not he forgive her past? If he really loves her, the chastity would be nothing, what is truly important is her spirit. If they have not met each other, they are just strangers and the tragedy may not happen.
《德伯家的苔丝》影评中英文版
可怜的苔丝，为爱而生存，因爱而毁灭。
Tess很美。
她的姣好与玲珑映衬在一身的洁白下。
她很白，白的那么纯，不可亵渎；白的那么美，无与伦比；白得那般艳，令人惊羡。
那般白，曾盛开在灿烂的日光下，奔放在原野绿丛中，舞动在庄园秋色里。
那般白，曾如此的出奇夺目、娇艳动人。
当火红的玫瑰戳伤了手，鲜血沾染了洁白，Tess的白，开始让人怜惜。
关于苔丝的评价已有许多，我却想说说哈代的女性主义情结，在他的笔下，苔丝的几个女性工友，她们都被哈代完全神圣化了。
她们也是如此美丽，她们善良勤劳，是女性的完美形象。
令我惊诧的，还有剧中反复奏响的乐曲，那淡淡的忧伤。
那乐曲多么美妙动听，让人如痴如醉，百听不厌。
《德伯家的苔丝》的插曲与故事情节如此吻合，激起了我心底万般柔情。
故事的情节不失浪漫，浪漫之余却散发着忧伤，弥漫着宿命。
情节与画面交织的天衣无缝，影音与命运的双重奏，给纯洁的Tess蒙上了宿命的色彩。
主旋律、背景音乐与掺和的曲调穿插于剧情中，诉说着淡淡的忧伤、绵绵哀怨、柔弱、孤苦与无助，预示着冥冥中的命运。

Under his pen, Tess's female workers, are also very kind and warmhearted . They have the heart of sympathy to Tess , and do what they can to help Tess. They completely became holy and perfect under the writer's description. I think they are not only pretty beautiful, but also the model of feminism.To my surprise, I really like the repeated played music in this film. The music is so wonderful, and can let us feel a deep touch of sadness. Although the plots of the story is romantic, I still smell 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 are interspersed in this story, and run with a touch of sadness,loneliness, continuous weak and helplessness, indicates that the dark fate.。

The introduction of author and novel1.1 Introduction of Thomas HardyThomas Hardy was born on June 2, 1840, a village of southwestern England that was the focus of his novels. He got a love of music from his father and literature from his mother. In 1862, he went to London to work for a famous architect. During the time when he was free, he widely studied: language, literature, history, philosophy and art. At that time, he even gained two prizes for essays on architecture, but it was not his desired profession. He started to write poetry and paid more attention to poetry than novel when he was 25-year-old. But he had no chance to publish his poetry. He changed the matter to create novel. In 1871, his first long novel was published. Three years ago, the celebrated work was his fourth novel far from the Madding Crowd. He stopped construction industry and devoted to the novel creation. There were early 20 long novels in Hardy‟s life. The most famous novel is Tess of the D’Urbervilles. However his view has led considerably conflict with the moral of Victorian era. Some plots were deleted in the serial and the title of the novel is a true life of the pure woman that caused strong dissatisfaction among some people. They believe that is an affront on public moral because Tess gets the sympathetic and understanding from the author in the novel. Hardy‟s works reflected the changed of social economy, political, moral and tradition, which is the advanced thoughts in Victorian era. Especially, his novels exposed women‟s tragic life and morals, legal and religious. And his story is the people pursue a ideal life by describing the struggle, pursuit and disillusionment in his novel. Therefore, the story is full of the deep society-significance and philosophy. His works not only were the great tradition of England realism, but also were the way for 20th century British literature.1.2 Tess of the D’UrbervillesTess is a 16-year-old who is a beautiful and kind girl comes from a poor family in a village，the whole family make their living by transporting with an old horse.

This is a book of grievous mood. A beautiful young girl‟s life was destroyed gradually and really---not by her energy, but by the people who said love to her. What kind of this love is? What make the love destroy its lover? Tess could be a happy girl though her family was very poor. But “noble, status, and money” were strongly in her father‟s mind, just because of the discovery that a parson said to him. Without their horse‟s carrying load, life became rather difficult. Tess blamed herself completely, and she wondered what she could help her parents. Then Tess obeyed her mother‟s idea, to work at the d‟Urberville‟s home, and met her cousin, Alec d‟Urbervilles. This then was the beginning. Tess had to meet the wrong man, and one who was so strongly attracted to her. Y et to the right man, she was only a half-forgotten impression from an evening‟s dancing party in a country field. This mistake was to have tragic results. Alec used his clever brain to help Tess‟s parents, and this made Tess feel grateful to him. Because of her slackening vigilance, Alec‟s intention came true ---Tess would be maiden no more. As the people of her village said, “It was to be.” And from now on, Tess‟s life was to be completely different. Tess left Alec‟s home, returned her village. But all had changed, Tess wouldn‟t be happy, people in village wouldn‟t see her as before. After her baby‟s death, she had to leave her home, went to a far place. Perhaps at that time we should thank Alec, thank baby‟s death, or Tess wouldn‟t leave her h ome and met Angel Clare, her right man in the dairy. Tess was a so lovely girl that Angel was soon crazy for her. At last, they conquered many difficulties and got married. But Tess‟s experience was still her mortal wound, Angel couldn‟t accept the truth a nd left her. The story came to its turning point again. When Angel realized his mistake and went back to look for Tess, all was too late, the poor girl again dropped into Alec‟s trap. With the intertwine of love and hatred, Tess had to end herself with a tragic results. God played with Tess so much. When her right man appeared, God yet didn‟t give her happiness. Tess‟s parents loved her, but it was just an instinctive love; Alec said love to her, but it was a evil love; Angel said love to her as well, but it was a immature and selfish love. He wanted Tess to forgive him, but he couldn‟t forgive Tess. 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. We have nothing to do but watching world changing, destroying Tess, then continuing changing. The tragedy recurs every day in fact. I can‟t help asking, have we missed our happiness?I realize that there is still much to be found and thought about in it. Great as Hardy is, he definitely wanted to tell readers more than a tragic story purely. Tess was the eldest daughter of her family and she had no choice but to bear the responsibility of rallying her family and repaying the debts. She was beautiful, innocent and pure without big ambition or desire for things that didn‟t belong to her. Nobody ever doubted that she deserved happiness and peace. But thi ngs seldom go on as we expected. Tess was deprived of virginity and she was no longer …pure‟ as she used to be. What‟s worse, she got pregnant as a result. Tess gave birth to the baby and decided to raise the baby all by herself. At that time, she showed her admirable qualities—being tough and decisive. We all hope that she can start a brand new life and cut off all contact with the past after her baby‟s death. However, for the second and third time, God cheated and mocked her. 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.wrongalways disturbed her life and wouldn‟t let her go. All the three person misunderstand what‟s lov e. 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. As for Angel, he might as well be dead. Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate? I believe it was Tess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of destruction. But Te ss should have led a better life if she don‟t treat herself as a satellite of men. How stupid is she to spend her life waiting for a man who betrayed her and escaped away when she was dying for help! When there is no help offered by men, women should fight on their own instead of waiting for men‟s mercy and forgiveness since there is nothing needed to be forgiven. 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.jiNJIEThe novel tells a story about a pretty and good girl called Tess, who lived in a village in Marlott. To her sadness, when she was seventeen, she was no longer a pure and untouched girl. She gave birth to a baby, which didn't live long. So Tess changed from a pure gir l to a grown —up. Because she was the eldest of the 7 children in the family, she found a job to support the whole family in a dairy.There she knew Angel and married him. But unluckily.when Angel knew her sad story, he left her and went to Brazil.Tess led a hard an d lonely life after that. Later when she knew Angel had retumed home and found out that she was living with the man who had given the damage to her before,Tess couldn't accept the fact and killed the man who was living with her.Then she escaped and spent together with Angel three days and nights. The police found them on the morning of the fourth day. A few days later, Tess was executed.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 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 wer e 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 matte r 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 p ower and power equals rights…。
德伯家的苔丝英文鉴赏
德伯家的苔丝英文鉴赏Reaction to Tess of the D’UrbervillesIt’s the second time I have read the novel “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”. I have a great impression on this novel, and its author, Thomas Hardy.Thomas Hardy, born in 1840 in Dorsetshire and died in 1928, was an English novelist and poet. Thomas's father was a stonemason and his mother was interested in literature. Under his mother's influences, Hardy began to write at 22. In 1856, Hardy left school and then he apprenticed under a local architect. After that, he became an assistant to a British architect. In this time, he learned literature and philosophy by his own. In 1867, he returned to his hometown and started to write novels. "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" was one of the two most famous novels which were written in 1890s."Tess of the D'Urbervilles" narrates a story about a country girl, who is innocent, beautiful, bright and plain killing a man after being driven desperate. At the beginning of the novel, Tess helps her father to deliver goods into the town by driving a cart. However, she bumps into a mail cart in the dark night. As a result, the old horse is hurt to death in this accident. So Tess gets into a big trouble. In order to atone for her crime and also to support her family, she goes to work in D'Urbervilles'. During these days, one day Alec rapes her in woods. After losing her virginity, Tess leaves Alec and goes home. She gives birth to a child at home, but unfortunately, the child dies soon. Then, she works in a dairy factory and falls in love with Angel Clare. On their wedding night, Clare knows that T ess has lost her virginity. So, he leaves Tess to Brazil. Poor Tess goes to work in anther factory. After her father'sdeath, the landlord takes back the house. Tess has to go back to Alec, so that her families could have a place to live. One day, Clare returns to look for Tess suddenly when he realizes his false. In great pain, Tess kills Alec with a knife. At the end, Tess is hung to death as a murder.In the novel, Tess is a modern woman idealized by Hardy. In an ideal world of Hardy, Tess is the symbol of beauty and the embodiment of love, representing the Wessex people of all good merits: beautiful, kind, pure, plain, love and tolerance. She dares to sacrifice herself with the hope to have a good life. She has a characteristic feeling of the love and trust. The women’s gentle and brave are melted well in her. Tess is a beautiful woman with temperament, strong will and warm feelin gs. She’s also upright and honesty. Instead of pursuing vanities by marriage, she chooses to pursue freedom basing on self-esteem.However, the end of Tess’s life is pathetic. I felt great sympathy for her. I wonder why this beautiful and pure girl has suc h a pathetic ending. But, this is T ess’s fate. I never believe fate, but I have to doubt my opinions after reading the novel. Every man who has read the novel knows that her life has always been passive. She has tried to revolt her fate only once, but has lost her life. Compared with fate, she is too small, and the tragedy of Tess maybe caused by the age. Dark ages brought the opportunists a lot of money meanwhile it makes the kind people suffer the misfortunes. Although Tess fails in revolting her fate, she is so brave that I want to give her my best respect.To me, she is a brave woman who wants to get rid of the bondage of fate. Tess’s death is superior to her fate, instead of yielding to it, and we need this kind of unyielding soul. But, there are also s ome weaknesses in Tess’s characters. Tess is bold andshe dares to fight against traditional morals to pursue her happiness, but she can’t completely set herself free from traditional morals. It shows the weak side of her characters. She has been criticized by people and persecuted by the traditional morals. And it’s so pathetic that she has always been tortured by the same traditional standard. Thus, the tragic appears deeper.Considering her tragedy, I can’t help asking who is to blame for that. Besides I’ve mentioned above, I think, at least two men have to be responsible for Tess’s tragedy, Aleck and Angel.Maybe, you’ll ask why Angel doesn’t accept the cruel truth that T ess has been raped by Alec and has given birth to a child. Why Angel leaves her? Doe sn’t he love Tess? Well, I’d like to say that he loves Tess so much that he can’t stand her impurity. In his eyes, Tess is beautiful and kind, and she is the symbol of purity. He can’t accept the cruel fact and makes his best to control his love to Tess. He thinks that the girl before him is not Tess, but a girl looks like her. In his mind, the real Tess has died. His heartlessness and abortion of Tess show his hates to the fate.As for Aleck, I don’t want to say more. The tragedy he has brought to Tess is obvious. All he has done to Tess is not out of love, because love is noble, but all he wants to get from Tess is lust. Alec is wealthy and evil. He seduces Tess, and that’s the direct cause of Tess’s tragedy.We all know that another name of this novel is “A Pure Woman”. In Hardy’s eyes, Tess is pure and brave. He shows great sympathy to Tess. At that age, men dominated the society, while women didn’t realize their rights. They are limited by the traditional morals and religion rules. In the novel, Tess is a poor victim, but because of the culture of the society, the other womendon’t show their sympathies to her. They criticize her and fabricate rumors to defame her. It’s such a tragedy that women don’t help women. As a boy, after reading the novel, I feel more sympathy for Tess. I don’t understand the thoughts of those people living in that age, but today, well, men and women are equal.。

德伯家的苔丝相关鉴赏英文版的跪求德伯家的苔丝相关鉴赏英文版的Tess of the d’Urbervilles Thomas HardyImportant Quotations Explained1. “Don't you really know, Durbeyfield, that you are the lineal representative of the ancient and knightly family of the d'Urbervilles, who derive their descent from Sir Pagan d'Urberville, that renowned knight who came from Normandy with William the Conqueror, as appears by Battle Abbey Roll?” “Never heard it before, sir!”In this passage, from Chapter I, the local parson informs Mr. Durbeyfield of his grand lineage, thus setting in motion the events that change the fate of Tess Durbeyfield forever. Interestingly, the parson's tone is casual, as if he is unable even to conceive of how his news might lead to tragedy later. For the parson it is genealogical trivia, but for Durbeyfield it feels like fate—the deepest truth about himself, like Oedipus's discovery of his own identity. The fact that this prophetic news is delivered on the road, in an open field, right at the beginning of the work is reminiscent of the opening of Macbeth. There, the witches address Macbeth as “Thane of Cawdor” and “King of Scotland,” just as the parson addresses Durbeyfield as “Sir John.” As in Macbeth's case, the noble address leads to disaster and death—in this case, th e death of the “rightful”d'Urberville, Alec.Hardy emphasizes the irony of Durbeyfield's situation not only by contrasting the common peddler on the road with the image of the “renowned knight” who was his forebear, but also by contrasting the modes of address of Durbeyfield and the parson. The parson has just addressed him as “Sir John,” which sets the whole conversation in motion, but we see here that the parson soon lapses back into the familiar tone more appropriate to one addressing a social inferior: “Don't you really know, Durbeyfield. . . . “ Durbeyfield does the same: despite his discovery that he is Sir John, it is he who calls the parson “sir” here. The ironies multiply, making questions of class and identity complex and unstable, as Hardy intends to depict them.2. Clare came close, and bent over her. “Dead, dead, dead!” he murmured. After fixedly regarding her for some moments with the same gaze of unmeasurable woe he bent lower, enclosed her in his arms, and rolled her in the sheet as in a shroud. Then lifting her from the bed with as much respect as one would show to a dead body, he carried her across the room, murmuring, “My poor poor Tess, my dearest darling Tess! So sweet, so good, so true!” The words of endearment, withheld so severely in his waking hours, were inexpressibly sweet to her forlorn and hungry heart. If it had been to save her weary life she would not, by moving or struggling, have put an end to the position she found herself in. Thus she lay in absolute stillness, scarcely venturing to breathe, and, wondering what he was going to do with her, suffered herself to be borne out upon the landing. “My wife—dead, dead!” he said.In Chapter XXXVII, Angel Clare begins to sleepwalk on the third night of his estrangement from Tess, having rejected her as his wife because of her earlier disgrace. Like Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking scene, Angel's nighttime somnambulism reveals an inner conflict within a character who earlier seems convinced of a moral idea, in control, and inflexible. For Lady Macbeth, her earlier cold protestations that killing a king is justifiable are belied by her unconscious fixation on being bloodstained. For Angel, the situation is reversed. He consciously maintains a conviction that Tess is bad, corrupt, and cannot be forgiven, but his unconscious sleepwalking self reveals the tender love and moral respect for her (“so good, so true!”) that he feels somewhere inside him. This revelation foreshadows his final realization, too late, that his condemnation of Tes s was wrongheaded. Angel's words “dead, dead, dead” hint at Tess's future death, but they also signal Angel's conception of Tess. She is alive physically, but for him she is dead morally, as dead as an idea of purity that he once revered.Important Quotations ExplainedKey FactsStudy Questions & Essay TopicsQuizSuggestions for Further Reading。
德伯家的苔丝的英文书评
Tess----a tragedy of the timesTess Durbeyfield, a tragic character was created by Thomas Hardy who was deeply impacted by the tragic view of Arthur Schopenhauer, Greek tragic view and Shakespeare’s tragedies. He held the idea that no matter how great the human civilization developed, we can do nothing when fate wants to play tricks on us. Due to this kind of believe, all of his novels have such a character: when the hero are going to access the happiness, the adversities befall them inevitably, like the destiny has settled and make fool of people, and so does Tess Durbeyfield’s fate.In this novel, it reveals the shackle of convention explicitly, and Tess Durbeyfield was the victim of that era though she had courage to pursue the true love and rebel the decadent ideology. However, it was not enough for her to break the fetters of traditional moral standard. When she was raped, she was extremely guilty that she felt she did not pure anymore; she even dared not to go to church. However, when we consider about this, is it really her fault? Does she have to bear the catastrophe by herself? The answer is definitely no. She always in a state of auto- accusation ascribed to the traditional idea of chastity, she measured herself whether decent and pure only according the very concept, it was this that made the “humiliation”was engraved in her heart. The feudal ethnical code at Tess Durbeyfield’s time was just like the Three Cardinal Guides and the Five Constant Virtues at ancient China, which forfeited many ladies’ happiness, and became a heavy yoke upon all the people (especially women) at that time, but there were a few people to go against it.Thomas Hardy’s pessimism was the product of his period. At 1880s and 1890s, the Great Britain Empire declined, the financial crises approached, so this kind of background also play an important role in Thomas Hardy’s writing style. Maybe at the beginning of writing, in order to show the underside of the society, Thomas Hardy didn’t decide to give Tess Durbeyfield a “happily ever after” ending, even finally, Tess was together with her true love but unable to escape the nest of convention-----she was sentenced to gallows for the crime of intentional homicide. How sarcastic it was! The throne did nothing when Tess was raped by Alec D'Urberville, but it did have its effect when Tess get rid of these impediments on her way to happiness, and on the other hand, Alec deserved it for his offence.Tess Durbeyfield, she traded her life for her love. She was a victim of convention and feudal ethnics, for one aspect, she dare to seek for true love after hurting, but on the contrary, she was till trammeled by this heavy yoke. It is the very background that created such a tragedy.(11)。

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 know ing 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 thedairy.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 T ess loved Clare very much, she murdered Alec to ran after Clare.They both escaped.They had five happy days in an empty house.Then T ess 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 fromLondon, 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 lookedthe 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 merelyshocked 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 T ess.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 Tessherself.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 shouldfight 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 marriag e.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.第五篇：德伯家的苔丝英文鉴赏Reaction to Tess of the D’Urberv illesIt’s the second time I have read the novel “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”.I have a great impression on this novel, and its author, Thomas Hardy.Thomas Hardy, born in 1840 in Dorsetshire and died in 1928, was an English novelist and poet.Thomas's father was a stonemason and his mother was interested in literature.Under his mother's influences, Hardy began to write at 22.In 1856, Hardy left school and then he apprenticed under a local architect.After that, he became an assistant to a British architect.In this time, he learned literature and philosophy by his own.In 1867, he returned to his hometown and started to write novels.“Tess of the D'Urbervilles” was one of the two most famous novels which were written in 1890s.“Tess of the D'Urbervilles” narrates a story about a country girl, who is innocent, beautiful, bright and plain killing a man after being driven desperate.At the beginning of the novel, Tess helps her father to deliver goods into the town by driving a cart.However, she bumps into a mail cart in the dark night.As a result, the old horse is hurt to death in this accident.So T ess gets into a big trouble.In order to atone for her crime and also to support her family, she goes to work in D'Urbervilles'.During these days, oneday Alec rapes her in woods.After losing her virginity, Tess leaves Alec and goes home.She gives birth to a child at home, but unfortunately, the child dies soon.Then, she works in a dairy factory and falls in love with Angel Clare.On their wedding night, Clare knows that Tess has lost her virginity.So, he leaves Tess to Brazil.Poor Tess goes to work in anther factory.After her father's death, the landlord takes back the house.Tess has to go back to Alec, so that her families could have a place to live.One day, Clare returns to look for Tess suddenly when he realizes his false.In great pain, Tess kills Alec with a knife.At the end, Tess is hung to death as a murder.In the novel, Tess is a modern woman idealized by Hardy.In an ideal world of Hardy, Tess is the symbol of beauty and the embodiment of love, representing the Wessex people of all good merits: beautiful, kind, pure, plain, love and tolerance.She dares to sacrifice herself with the hope to have a good life.She has a characteristic feeling of the love and trust.The women’s ge ntle and brave are melted well in her.Tess is a beautiful woman with temperament, strong will and warm feelings.She’s also upright and honesty.Instead of pursuing vanities by marriage, she chooses to pursue freedom basing on self-esteem.However, the end of Tess’s life is pathetic.I felt great sympathy for her.I wonder why this beautiful and pure girl has such a pathetic ending.But, this is Tess’s fate.I never believe fate, but I have to doubt my opinions after reading the novel.Every man who has read the novel knows that her life has always been passive.She has tried to revolt her fate only once, but has lost her pared with fate, she is too small, and the tragedy of Tess maybe caused by the age.Dark ages brought the opportunists a lot of money meanwhile it makes the kind people suffer the misfortunes.Although Tess fails in revolting her fate, she is sobrave that I want to give her my best respect.To me, she is a brave woman who wants to get rid of the bondage of fate.Tess’s death is superior to her fate, instead of yielding to it, and we need this kind of unyielding soul.But, there are also some weaknesses in Tess’s characters.Tess is bold and she dares to fight against traditional morals to pursue her happiness, but she can’t completely set herself free from traditional morals.It shows the weak side of her characters.She has been criticized by people and persecuted by the traditional morals.And it’s so pathetic that she has always been tortured by the same traditional standard.Thus, the tragic appears deeper.Considering her tragedy, I can’t help asking who is to blame for that.Besides I’ve mentioned above, I think, at least two men have to be responsible for Tess’s tragedy, Aleck and Angel.Maybe, you’ll ask why Angel doesn’t accept the cruel truth that Tess has been raped by Alec and has given birth to a child.Why Angel leaves her? Doesn’t he love Tess? Well, I’d like to say that he loves Tess so much that he can’t stand her impurity.In his eyes, Tess is beautiful and kind, and she is the symbol of puri ty.He can’t accept the cruel fact and makes his best to control his love to Tess.He thinks that the girl before him is not Tess, but a girl looks like her.In his mind, the real Tess has died.His heartlessness and abortion of Tess show his hates to the fate.As for Aleck, I don’t want to say more.The tragedy he has brought to Tess is obvious.All he has done to Tess is not out of love, because love is noble, but all he wants to get from Tess is lust.Alec is wealthy and evil.He seduces Tess, and that’s the direct cause of Tess’s tragedy.We all know that another name of this novel is “A Pure Woman”.In Hardy’s eyes, Tess is pure and brave.He shows great sympathy to Tess.At that age, men dominated the society,while women didn’t realize their rights.They are limite d by the traditional morals and religion rules.In the novel, Tess is a poor victim, but because of the culture of the society, the other women don’t show their sympathies to her.They criticize her and fabricate rumors to defame her.It’s such a tragedy that women don’t help women.As a boy, after reading the novel, I feel more sympathy for Tess.I don’t understand the thoughts of those people living in that age, but today, well, men and women are equal.。
英文电影影评---苔丝
Tess(苔丝)1979Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which Roman Polanski has turned into a lovely, lyrical, unexpectedly delicate movie, might at first seem to be the wrong project for Mr. Polanski in every way. As a new biography of the director reports, when Tess was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the press pointed nastily and repeatedly to the coincidence of Mr. Polanski's having made a film about a young girl's seduction by an older man, while he himself faced criminal charges for a similar offense. This would certainly seem to cast a pall over the project. So would the fact that Hardy's novel is so very deeply rooted in English landscapes, geographical and sociological, while Mr. Polanski was brought up in Poland.Finally, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is so quintessentially Victorian a story that a believable version might seem well out of any contemporary director's reach. But if an elegant, plausible, affecting Tess sounds like more than might have been expected of Mr. Polanski, let's just say he has achieved the impossible. In fact, in the process of adapting his style to suit such a sweeping and vivid novel, he has achieved something very unlike his other work. Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean. In a preface to the later editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Mr. Hardy described the work as "an impression, not an argument." Mr. Polanski has taken a similar approach, removing the sting from both the story's morality and its melodrama. Tess Durbeyfield, the hearty country lass whose downfall begins when her father learns he had noble forebears, is sent to charm her rich D'Urberville relations. She learns that they aren't D'Urbervilles after all; instead, they have used their new money to purchase an old name.Tess charms them anyhow, so much that Alec D'Urberville, her imposter cousin, seduces and impregnates her. The seduction, like many of the film's key scenes, is presented in a manner both earthy and discreet. In this case, the action is set in a forest, where a gentle mist arises from the ground and envelops Tess just around the time when she is enveloped by Alec.Alec, as played by Leigh Lawson, is a slightly wooden character, unlike Angel Clare, Tess's later and truer lover, played with supreme radiance by Peter Firth. Long after Tess has borne and buried her illegitimate child, she finds and falls in love with this spirited soul mate. But when she marries Angel Clare and is at last ready to reveal the secret of her past, the story begins hurtling toward its final tragedy. When Tess becomes a murderer, the film offers its one distinctly Polanski-like moment—but even that scene has its fidelity to the novel. A housemaid listening at a door hears a "drip, drip, drip" sound, according to Hardy. Mr. Polanski has simply interpreted this with a typically mischievous flourish.Of all the unlikely strong points of Tess, which opens today for a weeklong engagement at the Baronet and which will reopen next year, the unlikeliest is Nastassja Kinski, who plays the title role. Miss Kinski powerfully resembles the young Ingrid Bergman, and she is altogether ravishing. But she's an odd choice for Tess: not quite vigorous enough, and maybe even too beautiful. She's an actress who can lose her magnetism and mystery if she's given a great deal to do (that was the case in an earlier film called Stay As You Are). But here, Mr. Polanski makes perfect use of her. Instead of a driving force, she becomes an echo of theland and the society around her, more passive than Hardy's Tess but linked just as unmistakably with natural forces. Miss Kinski's Tess has no inner life to speak of. But Mr. Polanski makes her surroundings so expressive that her placidity and reserve work very beautifully.Even at its nearly three-hour running time, Mr. Polanski's Tess cannot hope for anything approaching the range of the novel. But the deletions have been made wisely, and though the story loses some of its resonance it maintains its momentum. There are episodes—like one involving Tess's shabby boots and Mercy Chant, the more respectable girl who expects to marry Angel—that don't make the sense they should, and the action is fragmented at times. That's a small price to pay for the movie's essential rightness, for its congruence with the mood and manner of the novel. Mr. Polanski had to go to Normandy and rebuild Stonehenge to stage his last scene, according to this same biography. As is the case throughout his Tess, the results were worth the trouble.。
