Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason.

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 herfather’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, Alecd’Urbervilles. This then was the beginning. Tess had to meet the wrong man, and one who was so strongly attracted to her. Yet 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 ha 一ve 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 lea一ve her home, went to a far place. Perhaps at that time we should thank Alec, thank baby’s death, or Tess wouldn’t le a一ve her home 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 manydifficulties and got married. But Tess’s experience was still her mortal wound, Angel couldn’t accept t he truth and 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 herselfwith 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 ha一ve nothing to do but watching world changing, destroying Tess, then continuing changing. The tragedy recurs every day in fact. I can’t help asking, ha一ve we missed our happiness?德伯家的'苔丝读后感英文版篇三Tess is a tragic character, who should be responsible for this tragedy? I'm afraid many readers will assume that the villain, The young Master Yarek, is the culprit. As far as I am concerned, the cause of the tragedy is Yarek, but the end of the tragedy is Tess's nominal husband Clare. Yarek just stripped Tess of her chastity, and opened the prelude of the tragedy from the body; Clare abandoned Tess on their wedding night, spiritually leading to the development of the tragedy, and finally to the end of the tragedy. If Clare did not abandon Tess, did not wear that layer of false moral veil, there would not be the development and outcome of this tragedy.The plot of the story is not complicated: the simple andbeautiful countryside old niang Tess came to the noble d 'Urberville house as a maid, was the villain of the young master Yarek tricked into pregnancy, so by the neighborhood laugh and blame, began to fallinto the abyss of pain. Later Tess met Clare from a rich pastor family, the two people really love each other. The night of the wedding Tess will be their past tragic experience to tell Clare, did not think of the return is the ruthless departure of Clare. Tess suffered unimaginable hardships, but no forgiveness or any news from Clare. Forced by the rough life, Tess in despair fell into the hands of Yarek again. Since then wake up Clare to find Tess, Tess regret. In order to live with the heart of love Clare, Tess killed the destruction of their life yarek. A few days later Tess was arrested, sentenced to be hanged for murder, Clare is in accordance with Tess's will, with her sister Lisa to start a new life.In the novel, Hardy created a kind and beautiful girl Tess with vivid strokes and sincere emotions: As if "a pure and fresh daughter of nature"， "she showed a dignified dignity in both disposition and aspect, like a queen"， "her whole body was full of poetry, her every move was poetry, and she brought to life what the poet had written only on paper"。

Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly! In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent,and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights……Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.。
《德伯家的苔丝》英语读后感
《德伯家的苔丝》英语读后感《德伯家的苔丝》英语读后感篇一：英文简介Summary of the Tess of d’UrbervillesSummary：In the Victorian period, a rural clergyman in England tells Durbeyfield, a simple farmer, that he is descended from the illustrious d’Urberville family, now extinct; or maybe not. Durbeyfield sends his daughter Tess to check on a family named d’Urberville living in a manor house less than a day’s carriage ride away. Alec d’Urberville is delighted to meet his beautiful cousin, and he seduces her with strawberries and roses. But Alec is no relation to Tess; he has gotten his illustrious name and coat of arms by purchasing them. Alec falls in love with Tess, seduces/rapes her, and she leaves, pregnant; back at home, the baby dies. Some time later, Tess begins work as a milkmaid, and there she meets her true love Angel Clare. Angel believes her completely innocent. They fall in love, but Angel does not learn of her previous relationship with Alec until their wedding night, and rejects her. Deserted by her husband, Tess meets Alec again, and poverty forces her to resume their relationship. Angel returns from travelling abroad, remorseful at his treatment of T ess, but finds her with Alec.Tess murders Alec in order to run away with Angel. They spend one night of happiness together, before she is arrested.篇二：德伯家的苔丝片段读后感英文版BOOK REPORT OF TESSI have just finished so me parts of the book called ‘Tess of the d’Urberville’, so I just talk about the characters appearing in these chapters which I have read.In these chapters, I think that Tess, a kind and beautiful girl, didn’t want to rely on her “relative”, ’Urberville. However, because of her responsibility,she still stood for her family to ask d’Urberville for help. As for her parents, her father wasirresponsible and foolish about the vanity of family honor. What’s more, her motherwas like a child sometime and eager to claim relationship with herrelative who had a great fortune. And then, in my view, Alec never cared about others what they thought，otherwise，Tess`s chastitywould not lose away.I was impressed on a paragraph: in life, the right man to love hardly ever come s at the right time. Nature doesn’t often answer a call for love, until the caller is tired of calling. In this case, as in millions, it was just one of stories about encounters which were erroneous. A missing half wanderedsomewhere else, arriving much later. Thisparagraph talks about the reason of how thelove has and makes a mistake; however, I feel uncertain that how we can know the man is Mr. Right and the time we meet is right. If we have no ability to know or we can’t avoid such results, why not allo w this love at the mercy of the time we go through and the hardship we experience.From Tess`s tragic experience, we may want to ask such questions: why do the bad man ruin the good one frequently? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Nevertheless, thousands of year`s philosophy cannot give us the answer to these questions and now,these things have always happened. Maybe our government needs to take some more forceful measures to protect these innocent girls like Tess.篇三：德伯家的苔丝读后感读有感我喜欢读书，我喜欢读好书，我喜欢读我喜欢读书，我喜欢读好书，我喜欢读这本好书。
《德伯家的苔丝》读后感 英文500字
《德伯家的苔丝》读后感英文500字I recently finished reading Thomas Hardy’s Tess of thed'Urbervilles, and my overall impression is that it was an incredibly powerful and moving story. The story follows Tess, a young woman living in poverty who is forced to leave her home after her family’s circumstances change. She moves to thed'Urbervilles estate, where she falls in love and is ultimately taken advantage of by Alec d'Urberville. Despite attempts at a new life for Tess, she continues to be plagued by the events of her past.Throughout the novel, Hardy paints an incredibly vivid picture of the countryside and its inhabitants, as well as their ways of life. The language used to communicate the emotions and struggles of the characters is also very effective in conveying the themes of the novel, such as the suffering of innocent girls like Tess, as well as the often unjust reality of Victorian society.The tragedy of Tess’ story is particularly heartbreaking, as Hardy uses his writing to humanize her character and make her a sympathetic figure. By making her experience something that the reader can relate to, Hardy provides the reader with a window into the pain, betrayal and injustice that Tess endured. Such moments of powerful emotion made it impossible for me to put the book down.In co nclusion, Hardy’s Tess of the d'Urbervilles is an incredibly captivating and emotionally intense story. It provides an insight into Victorian society, as well as the tragedy that poor women were subjected to in those times. I would highly recommend this book toanyone looking for an incredible story that will leave them feeling moved and affected.。
德伯家的苔丝Tessofthed’Urbervilles英文读书报告经典
德伯家的苔丝Tessofthed’Urbervilles英文读书报告经典第一篇：德伯家的苔丝Tess of the d’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 T ess 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 and secular p ressure 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 girl to 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 bod y.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 he arts.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.S he says,”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.第二篇：《德伯家的苔丝》读书报告《德伯家的苔丝》读书报告班级汉语言081班姓名赵彤学号200850515133 书名：《德伯家的苔丝》出版社：外语教学与研究出版社、牛津大学出版社作者：托马斯·哈代（1840—1928）是英国最伟大的小说家和诗人之一。
德伯家的苔丝读后感英语
德伯家的苔丝读后感英语以下是小编为大家用心搜集整理的德伯家的苔丝读后感英语范文，我们一起来学习学习吧!When I read the novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles ten years ago for the first time, I was merely shocked by Tess’s miserable and tragic fate. What a lovely and kind girl! She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn’t deserve. At that time I was just a naive little girl in junior high school.Now reviewing this famous novel again, 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 doubtedthat she deserved happiness and peace.But things 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 qualitiesbeing 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 always disturbed her life and wouldn’t let her go. All the three person misunderstand what’s 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 wasdead. 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 Tess 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.She was seduced by a so-called gentlemanAlec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She wasjust a girl when she first met that terrible man.She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t aGREe with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and lifeAngel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping hewould forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he reGREtted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too lateAlec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has donebut also on what he wanted to do!Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters.

People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.The book, Tess of the d' Urbervilles, is a tragic of a pure and poor girl. When I put down this book, I was in tears. I just wanted to ask, Angel, why did you treat her like this?I could imagine such a terrible night when Tess lost her way in a dark and silent wood. The What she faced was a strong man and she hadn' t known how dangerous the man could be. She was so weak that she was unable to resist him. No one could come up in time to help her. Eventually, beauty was damaged by ugliness. Why did the wrong man take the wrong woman? Angel, it was the time you saved her but where were you at that time? The Maybe as the old saying said" It was to be". The Then it was the start of Tess’s tragic.The social rule made her feel guilty and want to die. Unfortunately, her father just thought that she brought shame upon his noble name. No one could comfort her broken heart except herself. She kept all the people out her house and stayed alone and wanted to do heavy things to forget her past. The I was very happy to see that she knew such a thing shouldn’t prevent her from living an useful life. It was previous for her to have the courage to continue her life.When Tess fell in love with Angel, the she tried to hide her love because she thought she hadn' t hadthe right to get true love. But Angel, the man who loved her deeply, conquered her. However, when Tess told him her dismal past with great care, he couldn’t understand her and at last, he left her. So poor was Tess that when she wanted to be understood and forgave , she was pushed to abysm by the person she loved deeply .It was like adding more salt to the hurts of a broken heart. She was pious to everything about Angel. she could remember every sentence he said, and she learned to sing the songs he was fond of. Even when she was hurt by him, she didn’t hate him. When Angel was walking in sleep, she could choose to fall into the river to die with him but she didn’t do that because she knew she had no right to take his life. You can image how kind a girl she was.Her love was great, unselfish and pure .The real purity came from her mind, not her appearance .Even if she was a ordinary and plain girl ,I thought Angel would love her as well. When Angel was reminded that “Tess would have laid down her life for you”，he suddenly realized his prejudice and narrowness .But it was too late. Tess was already in deep desperation and became Alec’s wife. When she realized she was cheated by Alecagain, she was full of anger. She came to the end of her endurance so she killed Alec d’Urberville, the person who damaged her happiness for life.They spent the last five day together .It was the most previous period during their life because Tess was going to be sentenced to death several days later. If Angel were brave enough to accept Tess’s past, they would live a happy life now. But he didn’t cherish Tess’s true love until he lost it forever. It was already useless for him to regret. Late, too late!If you love a person deeply,then to accept his or her past, or you ’ll lose your true love for life. That’s the experience I learnt from the book.。
德伯家的苔丝读后感英文200字
德伯家的苔丝读后感英文200字The story of Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition. The novel follows the life of Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman from a poor rural family, as she navigates the complexities of class, gender, and societal expectations in Victorian England.At the heart of the narrative is Tess's tragic journey, which is marked by a series of unfortunate events that ultimately lead to her downfall. From the moment she is sent to work for the wealthy d'Urberville family in the hopes of claiming a distant familial connection, Tess's life becomes a struggle against the unfair demands and expectations placed upon her by a society that prizes social status and purity over individual autonomy and personal fulfillment.The author's portrayal of Tess is both empathetic and unflinching. She is a complex and multifaceted character, possessing a strong moral compass and a deep sense of personal integrity, yet also vulnerable to the whims of fate and the cruelty of those around her. Her encounter with the charming but manipulative Alec d'Urberville,and her subsequent seduction and victimization, are harrowing to read, as Hardy masterfully depicts the power dynamics and societal double standards that contribute to Tess's tragic downfall.One of the novel's most poignant themes is the conflict between individual desires and societal expectations. Tess's desire for a simple life of love and contentment is constantly at odds with the rigid social norms and class divisions that dictate her choices and ultimately determine her fate. The author's exploration of this theme is both nuanced and devastating, as Tess's attempts to forge her own path are repeatedly thwarted by the unyielding demands of a society that refuses to see her as a fully autonomous human being.The narrative is further enriched by Hardy's vivid and evocative descriptions of the natural world.

《德伯家的苔丝》英文读后感
《德伯家的苔丝》英文读后感"Tess of the d'Urbervilles" is a classic novel written by the English author, Thomas Hardy. The novel is set in rural England during the late 1800s and portrays the life of Tess, a young woman from a poor family who struggles against both societal and personal hardships. Tess is a character who embodies the struggles and hardships of the lower class and her story resonates with readers even today.Throughout the novel, Tess grapples with the consequences of societal expectations, particularly those concerning gender roles and class hierarchies. Her family's poverty and her gender limit her opportunities, leaving her with little choice but to work as a farm labourer. However, when she is sexually assaulted by her employer, the wealthy Alec d'Urberville, Tess is forced to confront the double standards of the society she lives in. Although she bears a child as a result of the assault, Tess's reputation is ruined while Alec is able to move on with his life. The novel highlights the societal expectation that women and lower class individuals should be held to a different standard than their wealthier male counterparts. Hardy's novel explores themes of morality, fate, and the individual's relationship with society. Tess's tragic story is emblematic of Hardy's ideas about a world in which individuals are often powerless against the forces of fate and societal expectations. Tess's life is greatly influenced by the expectations of society and the actions of those around her. Her descent into poverty, victimisation, and eventual downfall demonstrate the role that systemic inequality plays in shaping the lives of individuals.One of the most striking aspects of "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" is Hardy's attention to detail in his descriptions of rural life. He provides vivid descriptions of the countryside, the farms, and the people who live there. These details bring the story to life, immersing the reader in Tess's world and giving them a sense of the social and economic realities of rural life at the time. Hardy's descriptions of nature, in particular, are often metaphorical and serve to both reveal and foreshadow the emotional state of his characters.Throughout the novel, Tess's identity is closely tied to her experiences and state of mind. As she moves from innocence to experience, her identity is shaped by her struggles against societal expectations, her relationships with others, and her own sense of self-awareness. Tess's journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of self-awareness and personal growth, but also of the many obstacles that can stand in the way of these things.In conclusion, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" is a timeless novel that explores complex themes, ranging from social inequality and gender roles to fate and individualism.

苔丝英文读后感范文
苔丝英文读后感范文《苔丝》英文读后感篇一Recently I’ve read the British famous writer Thomas Hardy’s masterpiece-Tess of the D’urbervilles. It describes the misfortune of a poor peasant girl Tess. In this novel, we can see Tess resist her unjust fate again and again, till to be ruined. With the development of the plot we find that her tragedy is inevitable. We can not but feel the intense emotions of pity and fear.I don’t know why angel couldn’t forgive tess since he himself had done the similar thing.德伯家的苔丝读后感英文版篇二The so-called Victorian era was the period of Britain's industrial Revolution. In the Victorian era, the society advocated moral cultivation and modesty and politeness, and it was also a period of rapid development of scientific civilization. Many plots in the novel mentioned that there were priests preaching on the street, which also reflected these points. But because of this ethos of moral cultivation and modesty, many nouveau riche imitated the habits of aristocrats in order to elevate their status and enter the upper class. Yalei is one of them, his family is also a nouveau riche. It is because of not receiving the correct moral cultivation andpolite education, it led to the rape of Tess and a series of tragedies such as forcing Tess to cohabit with him.I think Tess's life is full of drama. The whole novel is about the tragic experience of Tess's ending, but there areoften some seemingly accidental plots that seem to bepredestined fate. For example, before Tess was violated, she quarreled with the maid of Yalei's house after the end of the dance, and Tess met Clay at the beginning but did not know each other, then met clay again and fell in love with each other and got married. They are full of dramatic colors, which can better reflect the author's real feelings and real social background customs and social bad habits, as well as a perfectinterpretation of the description of Tess's tragic experienceand the result of the novel. The whole novel is based on themain line of all the tragic events that happened after Tess's father learned that he was the descendant of a famous local warrior and asked Tess to go to her relatives, which better reflects that the cause of Tess's tragedy is not only social factors, but also the cause of her own personality error.Still, Tess of the D 'Urbervilles is a very meaningful novel, and one from which many important things are learned.德伯家的苔丝读后感英文版篇三I always thought that if it had not been for the first few words of the priest, perhaps poor Tess would have a differentlife. However, the tragedy of the 16-year-old country girl Tess began there. Tess's stupid father suddenly understand that he is a big noble descendants, in calculating how to enjoy the life of the nobility forced Tess to go to kiss, the result of the innocent Tess met the man who destroyed his life - Ya Lei. He was the eternal enemy of Tess's fate. Robbed Tess of all her dreams, and the potential to pursue them, and robbed Her of the pure longing of youth. However, we that innocent girl, is still so pure, so simple to let a person cherish the woman.Tess, determined to start a new life, went to work at the dairy, hundreds of miles away, and there she met the second man she should have met, at least so I thought, the man she really loved, but who I still thought betrayed her love, in an act which I can only describe as hypocritical. If there is no Clay, Tess's whole body is sad into plain, but clay's appearance is in the back of the tragedy painted with more thick and heavy color darkness. In fact, I believe that Clay loved Tess, or he would not have shown his feelings in his sleepwalking, but he wasstill bound by morality, unable to understand all this sudden.It was because of Tess's characteristic purity that Clayfell in love with her and proposed to her. Tess herself was suffocated by the surging tide of love for Clay. He hurt that innocent girl with his love, gave her hope of happiness, and then killed it all. And she tortured herself with all her love. Tess through the pain of the heart, decided to understand Thefeelings of Clay. However, when Tess confessed her injured pastto her lover, the so-called lover hesitated, and clay finally chose to leave because of his lack of understanding and unfirmness of feelings.Tess was heartbroken, when she helped her wound carefully show the loved one in front of the moment, she expected to understand, is to forgive, but the cruel lover in the weakTess's wound sprinkled a handful of salt. He was not a single-minded man, and perhaps we have seen his deep attachment to Tess, but when her distortion went against the religion he apparently despised, he chose to retreat without any room, and so liberally.Tess in the future to a person to deal with the life, butalso to hide the truth of the facts to parents, loaded with very happy appearance, and from only a little living expenses to send money to parents, Clare's departure, Tess is engaged in the dirtiest and most tired work, suffering from physical and psychological hardships. And where was the man who said he loved her? But she always remembered that her husband would forgiveher one day. I can only say that she was really naive.Tess likes Clay, and regards clay as the whole source of his survival, and can even say that he is her life-saving straw, soall her thoughts are in such a character, and how powerless to deal with the real feelings, beauty and noble blood, perhaps isa trophy, but not a weapon. Maybe our Tess, she was just too naive.Tess see back to the Clay pain to seize the door and go, Tess is also sad, unable to restrain their inner hatred, picked up the knife, she has been humiliated and hardships vent in the knife head, stabbed to the man who destroyed her life. And ran down the dark road in pursuit of her angel.。

《德伯家的苔丝》英文读后感【精选】|《德伯家的苔丝》英文读后感The social rule made her feel guilty and want to die. Unfortunately, her father just thought that she brought shame upon his noble name. No one could comfort her broken heart except herself. She kept all the people out her house and stayed alone and wanted to do heavy things to forget her past. The I was very happy to see that she knew such a thing shouldn t prevent her from living an useful life. It was previous for her to have the courage to continue her life.When Tess fell in love with Angel, the she tried to hide her love because she thought she hadn' t had the right to get true love. But Angel, the man who loved her deeply, conquered her. However, when Tess told him her dismal past with great care, he couldn t understand her and at last, he lefther. So poor was Tess that when she wanted to be understood and forgave , she was pushed to abysm by the person she loved deeply .It was like adding more salt to the hurts of a broken heart. She was pious to everything about Angel. she could remember every sentence he said, and she learned to sing the songs he was fond of. Even when she was hurt by him, she didn t hate him. When Angel was walking in sleep, she could choose to fall into the river to die with him but she didn t do that because she knew she had no right to take his life. You can image how kind a girl she was.Her love was great, unselfish and pure .The real purity came from her mind, not her appearance .Even if she was a ordinary and plain girl ,I thought Angel would love her as well. When Angel was reminded that Tess would have laid down her life for you ，he suddenly realized his prejudice and narrowness .But it was too late. T ess was already in deep desperation and became Alec s wife. When she realized she was cheated by Alec again, she was full of anger. She came to the end of her endurance so she killed Alec d Urberville, the person who damaged her happiness for life.They spent the last five day together .It was the most previous period during their life because Tess was going to be sentenced to death several days later. If Angel were brave enough to accept Tess s past, they would live a happy life now. But he didn t cherish Tess s true love until he lost it forever. It was already useless for him to regret. Late, too late!If you love a person deeply,then to accept his or her past, or you ll lose your true love for life. That s the experience I learnt from the book.《德伯家的苔丝》英文读后感【二】All about WomanWhen I read the novel Tess of the D Urbervilles ten years ago for the first time, I was merely shocked by Tess s miserableand tragic fate. What a lovely and kind girl! She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn t deserve. At that time I was just a naive little girl in junior high school.Now reviewing this famous novel again, 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 things seldom go on as we expected. Tess was deprived of virginity and she was no longer pure as she usedto 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.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn t let her go. All the three person misunderstand what s 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. As for Angel, he might as well be dead.Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Orridiculous fate?I believe it was T ess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of destruction. But Tess 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.。

《德伯家的苔丝》的英语读后感怎么写呢?以下是店铺为大家提供的德伯家的苔丝英语读后感,供大家参考借鉴!德伯家的苔丝英语读后感(一)She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happyand excited for she also had things to confess.She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tes s was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won T ess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and tha t’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treatedunfairly!In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.德伯家的苔丝英语读后感(二)Thomas Hardy (1840---1928), who is an English novelist. His father is a stoneworker, who is fond of music. His parents thought much of the education of their son. He grown up in the Dorset shire, so the environment of there became the main backdrop of his writings. His writings often reflecting the change aftercapitalism intrude the countries in England and the people’s hard life.At first, Hardy wrote some novels, and in his old age, he worked on poets. The novel < Tess of the D'Urbervilles > was published in the year 1891. Thomas Hardy facing the terror of the war and propagating the love-kindness, he is one of the greatest English writers.The summary of the bookAs is known to all, is the most famous novel of Thomas Hardy. Tess comes from a farmer’s family, the Durbeyfields. One day her father, John Durbeyfied learns that they are descended from the D’Urbervilles, an ancient family. Her mother urges Tess to claim kinship with the remaining D’Urbervilles, so that Tess could marry a gentleman. Unwillingly, the girl comes in contact with the Stoke, D’Urbervilles. There she meets Alec D’Urbervilles. Having received a job of tending to chickens, Tess stays in the D’Urbervilles. Before long the rich but guileful Alec manages to seduce the girl and make her pregnant. Being humiliated and resolute, T ess returns home， and gives birth to the child, who is called Sorrow but dies soon . Without financial support, Tess has to leave home and goes to work at a distant farm, where she meets Angel Claire. After Angel persistent pursuit of Tess, the two fall in love. In the wedding night, Tess admits about Alec D’Urbervilles and the child. She begs for forgiveness, but Angel leaves her in disgust. Tess again returns home alone, only find that her family remains impoverished and she even has no place to stay. In the meantime, Alec D’Urbervilles appears again. He promises to support her family, only as a means to make Tess dependent. At the end of hope, the girl jumps into the trap of the shameless man. However, AngelClaire, who is remorseful for his mercilessness comes back, which makes Tess even more desperate. After Angel leaves, she kills Alec. Then she follows Angel and escape with him. They manage to hide for a while in a wood before she is arrested. She is hanged later.In this story, the dramatis persona Tess is a beautiful, virtuous country girl. Angel Claire loves Tess, but his love is selfish, he can’t forgive her wife’s mistake, he forsakes her .Alec D’Urbervilles is an evil person, he makes Tess’s life being a tragedy.The commentThis is a dolorous book.This is a story of love.Tess, the poor girl as innocent as the sleeping birds in the trees, or the small field animals in the hedges, her life destroyed by her relatives, lover and some other people. They say they love her, but they like themselves most. Her parents want her married Alec only because they want her doing some good for the family. Alec wants to possess her, because she is the most beautiful girl in the village. He makes her pregnant but can’t give her his love. Angle is tess’s true love, but h is love also not consummate, he can’t forgive tess’s mistake, although he had did wrong with a women.Why only the women had to pay? I thought of this problem for a long time. In the 19th England, women had not status, they live very hard because people’s prejudice. Tess is the victim under the not fair environment, she lives with force, and even the law thinks the insults are allowable! At the end of the book, Fortune's wheel bereaves the last thing she had—her life.How to vindicate the women’s right? Exp ect change thepeople’s prejudice women must learn to be adamancy and independent. We must know how to take care of ourselves. We must have the ability to feed ourselves, so that we can win the independent of personality and life. And so that we can have a pure au pair love.The word “woman” doesn’t means “puny”!德伯家的苔丝英语读后感(三)Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why did such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as Tess should suffer inevitable ruin? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Why the tragedy is happened more than one hundred years ago repeated in modern times? Is everything too late?Recently I’ve read the British famous writer Thomas Hardy’s mas terpiece-Tess of the D’urbervilles. It describes the misfortune of a poor peasant girl Tess. In this novel, we can see Tess resist her unjust fate again and again, till to be ruined. With the development of the plot we find that her tragedy is inevitable. We can not but feel the intense emotions of pity and fear.The cause of Tess’s tragedy has always been the concern of people, such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as Tess should suffer inevitable ruin. What leads to her tragic destiny? Who killed her? I can’t do very well in analysis the novel. I don’t know clearly how the time she lived in affect her life. I do have an understanding of the novel by myself. Alec and Angel who are the two people very closely related to Tess’s fate. I think fierce Alec played a very important role in killing Tess, but in fact, it was hypocritical Angel who killed Tess indirectly but more cruelly.I wanted to cry, Tess, do not follow him when I read that plot.I hope she met her true love before she was seduced, but everything was too late. She was seduced by a so called gentleman-Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respect her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of man. Women were too weak. Tess was poor, weak and helpless and met the wrong person at the wrong time.I strongly believed that it was Angel who killed Tess cruelly and without mercy. Angel was a liberal bourgeoisie. He made himself lived in the countryside rather than serving the god. Angel was a man who questioned the church’s teaching. He thought the church’s views were too strict and did not allow free thinking. Angel extricated him from religion and his family, but he couldn’t break with tra ditional moral principles. He wanted a wife who was the daughter of nature, honest, sensitive, intelligent, graceful, pure as snow and extremely beautiful. In the first part I thought Angel loved tess very much. In the following part I found that he loved an image he imagined. After their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave angel at once. She innocently thought that the thing she was going to confess would be forgiven. Poor Tess! She sat and told everything to angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven, but she was wrong. The woman pays.Angel claimed that you were one person, now you are another when tess asked why. The woman Angel had loved was not tess, was another woman in tess’s shape. Angel loved the person he imagined. He considered tess the daughter of nature. Compared to tess’s words, “ I thought angel, that you lovedme-me my very self! If you do love me, how can you treat me like this? It frightened me! Having begun to love you, I will love you forever, in all changes, in all troubles, because you are yourself. I ask no more.” we know how deep tess loved angel. She would have laid down life for angel. She not only loved the merits but also accept the demerits. We know from the book that when angel came back from Brazil, he could hardly be recognized by his mother because the cruel climate and hard work had aged him by twenty years, but tess accepted angel immediately, because he was the man she fell in love with.I don’t know why angel couldn’t forgive tess since he himself had done the similar thing.。

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.T ess blamed herself completely, and she wondered what she could help her parents.Then T ess 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.Yet 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 home 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‟sexperience was still her mortal wound, Angel couldn‟t accept the truth and 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 T ess.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 things 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.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn‟t let her go.All the three person misunderstand what‟s 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.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 Tess 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 familyin 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 ter 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 culture, which didn‟t think of women as human beings.If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters.If you asked why t hen he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going.They thought girls had no use for the family.They would be married and go to live with their husbands‟ home and be their wives some day sooner or later.So they were extremely hard on girls.Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden!If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought.If she wasn‟t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her.What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character.They thought man equals power and power equals rights…第二篇：德伯家的苔丝英文读后感Character Analysis of Tess Tess of D' Ubervilles is the most famous novel of Thomas Hardy, the tragic end of Tess is painful and affecting.The paper supposes the tragic experience of Tessresult from her character.Her character of responsibility is the flashpoint of her tragic fortune.Her responsibility convinced herself that she is to blame for killing the horse, and her responsibility urges her ask her fake relatives for help after the horse died, as a result she is acquainted with Alec D' Uberville and seduced by him eventually.Her responsibility impels her confessing her mistake to her husband Clare before their wedding, because she believes it's unfair to Clare if she doesn't, as a result her husband leaves her into suffering.She refuses Alec's proposal when they meet again, but after her father died, her family live a hard life, her responsibility to her family forces her live together with Alec.Her character of infatuated makes her a miserable fate, and blinds her good sense.The chapter 31 narrates “to her sublime trustfulness he was all that goodness could be-knew all that a guide, philosopher, and a friend should know.”Owing to the infatuated, she is lost her own judgmen t.It's wrong that her infatuated makes her lack of equal consciousness and totally controlled by Clare, and ready to be a slave of Clare and it also put herself in an unequal position like a servant..The character of obedience of Tess also makes her sad fate.When her mother asks her seeks help to their fake relatives, although she is reluctant to do that, she yields at last.When they sit on the high-speed dogcart, Alec speaks “Let me put one little kiss on those lips, Tess, or even on that warmed cheek, and I will stop-on my honor, I will.” “But I don't want anybody to kiss me, sir!” She implored a big tear beginning to roll down her face, and the corners of her mouth trembling in her attempts not to cry.He was inexorable, and she sat still, and D'Urberville gives her the kiss of mastery.It is shown that her character of obedience gives Alec has a chance to molest her.When they miss their way in an oldwood, she believes Alec easily, accept his terms and waits for him in the wood, therefore, she was seduced by Alec.She should have left Alec as soon as possible, but her obedience leads her to a sad end.Tess is a girl as pure as the driven snow.When her mother tells her if she asks for help from their relatives, she would have the opportunity to marry a gentleman.Tess doesn't want to do that, because her pure heart despises worldly marriage.Although she was seduced by Alec and lives together with him, she is a pure girl, because she has no choices expect yield to her tragic fate.Even though she experiences a serious of hardships, she never gives up herself and works hard, and always believes her cruel-hearted husband who leaves her and preserves his reputation.It is her simplicity that causes her a bad end, but it also touches the readers, and the pure character of Tess is the beauty of the regretful end.As Jung said: “your character is your destiny.” The connection between Tess's fate and character is not occasional, her tragic end result from her第三篇：德伯家的苔丝英文读后感This is a book of grievous mood.A beautiful young g irl’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?

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.。

Character Analysis of Tess
Tess of D' Ubervilles is the most famous novel of Thomas Hardy, the tragic end of Tess is painful and affecting. The paper supposes the tragic experience of Tess result from her character.
Her character of responsibility is the flashpoint of her tragic fortune. Her responsibility convinced herself that she is to blame for killing the horse, and her responsibility urges her ask her fake relatives for help after the horse died, as a result she is acquainted with Alec D' Uberville and seduced by him eventually. Her responsibility impels her confessing her mistake to her husband Clare before their wedding, because she believes it's unfair to Clare if she doesn't, as a result her husband leaves her into suffering. She refuses Alec's proposal when they meet again, but after her father died, her family live a hard life, her responsibility to her family forces her live together with Alec.
Her character of infatuated makes her a miserable fate, and blinds her good sense. The chapter 31 narrates "to her sublime trustfulness he was all that goodness could be-knew all that a guide, philosopher, and a friend should know. "Owing to the infatuated, she is lost her own judgment. It's wrong that her infatuated makes her lack of equal consciousness and totally controlled by Clare, and ready to be a slave of Clare and it also put herself in an unequal position like a servant..
The character of obedience of Tess also makes her sad fate. When her mother asks her seeks help to their fake relatives, although she is reluctant to do
that, she yields at last. When they sit on the high-speed dogcart, Alec speaks "Let me put one little kiss on those lips, Tess, or even on that warmed cheek, and I will stop-on my honor, I will." "But I don't want anybody to kiss me, sir!" She implored a big tear beginning to roll down her face, and the corners of her mouth trembling in her attempts not to cry. He was inexorable, and she sat still, and D'Urberville gives her the kiss of mastery. It is shown that her character of obedience gives Alec has a chance to molest her. When they miss their way in an old wood, she believes Alec easily, accept his terms and waits for him in the wood, therefore, she was seduced by Alec. She should have left Alec as soon as possible, but her obedience leads her to a sad end.
Tess is a girl as pure as the driven snow. When her mother tells her if she asks for help from their relatives, she would have the opportunity to marry a gentleman. Tess doesn't want to do that, because her pure heart despises worldly marriage. Although she was seduced by Alec and lives together with him, she is a pure girl, because she has no choices expect yield to her tragic fate. Even though she experiences a serious of hardships, she never gives up herself and works hard, and always believes her cruel-hearted husband who leaves her and preserves his reputation. It is her simplicity that causes her a bad end, but it also touches the readers, and the pure character of Tess is the beauty of the regretful end.
As Jung said: “your character is your destiny.”The connection between Tess's fate and character is not occasional, her tragic end result from her
character of responsibility, infatuated and purely.。
