第一篇：《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。

Poor Tess, she is survived because of love, and is also destroyed because of love.Tess is a very beautiful girl.Her beauty and elegance is prominented under her white appearencce and clear soul.Yes!I want to say that she is so white and pure, and this white can not be profaned by dirt;she is very white, brilliant and amazing, and this white can change this world into happiness;she is pretty white, delicate and charming , and this white can even make flowers feel shy!Of course ,there are already many evaluations of Tess , so I just want to talk about the writer's feminism.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.

第二篇：德伯家的苔丝

读《德伯家的苔丝》 论苔丝悲剧原因

苔丝的父亲约翰酒鬼无 意中得知自己是古老贵族的嫡系后裔，这么一个消息成了全家人改变生活的希望，甚至约翰伯爵到死都寄希望于自己的血统力量。此时的少女苔丝在美丽的乡间小路上五溯节的舞会。初见命运中的安奇，却没有缘分把握相识。

这是很讽刺的，苔丝的父母都是普通的农民，不够勤劳，酗酒成性，没有一个家长的担当，破产的农民把希望寄托在没落的贵族血统上。哈代在这样的环境下已经说明在英国资产阶级时代大兴的时候，最先没落的就是血统贵族了。随着农民阶级毁灭，苔丝在替父亲送蜂窝的路上撞死了马，这个善良的少女不得已转向无产阶级的道路。在阿力克的家里养鸡，在这里她失去了影响她一生的童贞，还沦为一个出卖劳动力的农业女工。到头来，还是在资产阶级社会主义制度的作用下，死在绞刑架上。苔丝的悲剧是有一定的社会原因的，贫困迫使她误入歧途，农场的资本主义关系是她的生活不堪重负。

在哈代的笔下，残酷的命运不眷顾这个善良的女孩，苔丝不愿意去富有的亲戚家去“讨钱”但是偏偏撞死了家里唯一的经济来源，看到苔丝无力的看着马死去时的样子，也暗叹这个女孩的命运悲剧也开始了。苔丝的父母没有对苔丝采取保护，甚至是欢天喜地的吧苔丝送去阿力克家里，在约翰死后，苔丝的母亲甚至斥骂苔丝，你嫁了什么样的丈夫，不负责任，但对于他们自己对子女的责任却是模糊的。对传统的道德理想的看法，女性的出路只有嫁，门当户对的嫁是合乎世俗观念的，苔丝一个挤奶女工嫁到了牧师家庭中，可以说是相当高攀的，但是这个时候的苔丝又是处于被丈夫抛弃的状态。我们说女性出路的时候，一个是事业，一个是婚姻。介于社会原因，苔丝理想是做一个教师，已经破灭，从事的自能是出卖劳动力的工作，还越来越不值钱。婚姻悲剧就更加不用说了，失去童贞的苔丝和资产阶级的最低门槛有矛盾，连安奇也不能接受她。

阿力克是富有商人，他的贵族姓氏是假冒的，从他看到美丽的苔丝时，他的占有欲就一刻也停不下来，在女工们不怀好意的邀请下，苔丝回到房间看到阿力克送的裙子，她的心里还是单纯的对阿力克抱有感激和好感的，在这种极度不设防的情况下，苔丝被设圈套，最后被奸污了。但是阿力克的这种行为没有收到惩罚，被伤害的苔丝却成了罪人，更可笑的是，道貌岸然的阿力克还成了传教士，再遇到苔丝时，他还责备苔丝的美，是苔丝引诱了他，陷害了他。苔丝在被奸污了以后，毅然的离开了阿力克的家，面对阿力克的挽留果断的拒绝了，甚至丝毫不愿意妥协，以一个仍然骄傲的姿态回到家，所有的痛苦和悲伤，恶意的目光和嘲讽都由她来承受。苔丝的“悲伤”死了，没有得到宗教的救赎，神父不愿意给孩子洗礼和埋葬，苔丝对宗教也失望了。

她准备重新开始，刚到英伦谷，她享受女工们之间的友情，美好的夏日风光，工作繁重，但是有一个天使一样的男孩爱慕着她，这个时候的她怀着忐忑不安的，甜蜜的幸福感。安奇克莱尔是所有女工的梦中情人，是完美的情人，是个对知识自由无比向往的人，最重要的他是苔丝最爱的人。在小说中，苔丝和安奇的婚礼上，女工莱蒂自杀，暗示这这种笼罩着死亡气息的幸福是不会长久的。

在安奇还不知道苔丝的过去时，他对苔丝一片忠诚，真心相爱，他说服父母是说苔丝“浑身上下充满了诗意，其实，她本身就是诗”说的是这个女人简直是这个世界上最完美的人。但是资产阶级的立场上来说，安奇的父亲说“我是开明的家长，我们可以不在乎她的出身财富和地位，只要是纯洁的”。这在我们现在说就是“处女情结”，这处女情结还不是一个男人的事，是整一个社会看重的东西。所以，在得知苔丝的不幸以后，他马上就说：“你不是我爱的那个女人”,他说我们不是一个阶级的，你只是个不懂事的乡下女人，从来不懂世事人情。婚后没有见父母亲人，还不许先写信联系就离开了，变相的抛弃了她。说苔丝不幸，就不幸在第一次被一个坏男人骗，好不容易遇到一个真爱，还是不能够爱她的全部，哪怕是这么理想的安奇。

苔丝的悲剧也是一个性格悲剧。苔丝就是太善良太坦白了，才会过得辛苦。在《复活》里，卡秋莎被聂赫留朵夫迷惑失贞，还被抛弃以后，无奈之下沦为了卖弄风骚的妓女得以生存。这个方面，苔丝有着强大的韧性。到燧石山农场种地的日子苦不堪言，农场主耍流氓，故意侮辱苔丝，还有个阿力克跟狼一样的总是尾随在苔丝左右，苔丝的处境可以说是水深火热，几经绝望。但是苔丝一开始还没有主动联系安奇，只是等，过不下去了，去找安奇的父母，很有自尊心，觉得受到了侮辱，转头就跑了。安奇一点消息也没有，安奇也是个很虚伪的男人，在外面病的差点死掉了才反省过来自己还是爱着自己的妻子的，回来看到一封封求救信，都已经太晚了。苔丝看到安奇忽然回来了，但是楼上的床上还躺着毁了她幸福的阿力克，她终于忍不住了，她杀了这个伪善的狼，没有了心里负担才奔向安奇的怀抱，甚至在逃亡的路上，她早就放弃了希望。明明可以逃出国，也要多享受一分钟爱人的怀抱。苔丝的性格里是很单纯的，她看不破阿力克的圈套而受到伤害，拒绝安奇的求婚心里不得安宁，在新婚之夜马上原谅了安奇的风流史，还坦白自己的过去，看到安奇归来，愤怒之下一刀杀了阿力克。这些都可以看出在苔丝的性格中，是单纯的没有太明显的世俗观念的，甚至没有是非观念。她的骄傲使她不愿意委身阿力克，哪怕失身与他，也发誓一辈子都不原谅他，在贫困交加的时候也没有求助安奇的父母，自尊心太强也没有办法。阿力克就称她叫“永不求人小姐”。

苔丝的悲剧是命运对她的戏弄。苔丝在临时之前也想假如当初安奇是和她一起跳的舞，他们早就相爱了。假如安奇的父母能勤劳一点，苔丝也不用去求“亲戚”的帮助。甚至假如苔丝家的马没有被撞死，也许悲剧都不会发生，或者苔丝在出门前对阿力克有防备之心，他也不会得逞。或者安奇早就看到了那封信，他们之间的问题不用留到无法挽回的地步。或者安奇不要离开，或者不要再遇到阿力克，或者再多等一个月。都没有用，对苔丝来说，最无可奈何的就是无法选择，无法逆转的时间。哈代正是用这样一个不可逆转的不可选择的方式一步步让苔丝走向毁灭。

第三篇：关于《德伯家的苔丝》

关于《德伯家的苔丝》

《德伯家的苔丝》是托马斯·哈代的代表作，是“威塞克斯系列”中的一部。它描写了一位农村姑娘的悲惨命运。哈代在小说的副标题中称女主人公为“一个纯洁的女人”，公开地向维多利亚时代虚伪的社会道德挑战。

本书作者托马斯·哈代是十九世纪英国杰出的现实主义作家，同时也是一位造诣非凡的诗人。哈代一生对希腊悲剧、莎士比亚悲剧研读不已，并受叔本华悲剧意识影响，认同近代科学思想上的怀疑派论调，致使他对人生的见解悲观宿命。他认为人类文明无论发展到何种地步，人类终是无法摆脱宿命的捉弄。这一思想几作的一大框窗。哈代作品，巧合频频可见，自然气入；役境为人，融性格与环境于一体，是乃作家别外，因哈代早年曾攻建筑，故其作品之营造最堪玩密完善，或情节、人物、风景、对话配合之紧凑和有比肩者。

他将这些小说大体分为3类：性格与环境的小与幻想的小说和精于结构的小说。其中以第一类最于此类的长篇小说有《绿林荫下》、《远离尘嚣》、《还

说、罗曼史为重要。属乡》、《卡斯成囿哈代创息弥漫侵一匠心。此味，如此精调和，当少特桥市长》、《林居人》、《德伯家的苔丝》、《无名的裘德》。一般认为它们是哈代思想、艺术上最成熟的作品，其中又以悲剧故事《德伯家的苔丝》和《无名的裘德》最为杰出。前者写贫苦美丽的挤奶女工苔丝因年轻无知而失身于富家恶少亚雷·德伯，受尽精神上和物质上的煎熬，最后失去自己真心爱恋的安玑·克莱，悲愤绝望之中，杀死亚雷，坦然走上绞架。后一部小说写贫苦善良的孤儿裘德·范立奋发自学欲赴高等学府深造，但无入门之道。他与志趣相投的表妹淑·布莱德赫双双摆脱法定配偶而自由结合，但为社会所排斥，流浪街头，最后家破人亡。

《德伯家的苔丝》描写的是贫穷的农家女子苔丝一生的遭遇。她渴望凭自己的劳动过日子，但是在当时的社会中却接二连三地受到沉重珠打击。苔丝还非常年轻的时候，就因为家庭贫困，不得不上德伯家去当女工，遭到资产阶级纨绔子弟亚雷·德伯的污辱，怀了身孕，成为一个“失了身的女子。她忍受周围人们歧视和道德偏见的压力，孩子病死后，她在一家牛奶场工作，认识了一个牧师的儿子，青年大学生安玑·克莱，不久便和他相爱。苔丝向克莱讲述了自己过去的不幸经历之后，充满资产阶级的虚伪的伦理偏见的克莱，突然一反往常的态度，遗弃了苔丝，使她走上更加悲惨的道路。苔丝转到另一个农场劳动，受到资本家更为残酷的剥削。后来父亲死去，一家人沦落街头，纨绔子弟亚雷又来纠缠她，她不得已而又迁就了他。克莱的突然归来使苔丝受刺激太深终于酿成了她杀死亚雷的悲剧。她成了一个杀人犯，被法庭判处死刑。

女主人公苔丝是被哈代理想化了的现代女性。在哈代的理想世界中，苔丝是美的象征和爱的化身，代表着威塞克斯人的一切优秀的方面：美丽、纯洁、善良、质朴、仁爱、坚韧和容忍。她敢于自我牺牲，勇于自我反抗和对生活抱有美好的愿望。她所特有的感情就是对人的爱和信任，女性的温柔和勇敢在她身上融成了一体。她有美丽的女人气质，坚强的意志和热烈的感情，同时也有威塞克斯人的正直忠实和自然纯朴，但是同时却包含有人固有的复杂的心态。她没有借助婚姻来实现追求虚荣的愿望，而是立足于自尊去追求自由。在她到冒牌本家亚雷“德伯那儿寻求帮助的时候，她的目的是想通过自己的工作来解决家庭的困难。她一发现自己上当受骗，就坚决离开了亚雷”德伯。苔丝的灵魂是纯洁的，道德是高尚的，但是在资产阶级的道德面前，她却被看成伤风败俗的典型，奉为警戒淫荡的榜样，是侵犯了清白领域的“罪恶化身”。在当时的资本主义社会下，她成为了人们心中嘲讽的对象。哈代的观点和社会偏见尖锐对立，他通过苔丝这个形象对当时虚伪的道德标准严加抨击。哈代坚持道德的纯洁在于心灵的纯洁，不在于一时的过错，不仅仅在于她得过去，更包含她的将来，因此苔丝是“一个纯洁的女人”。社会则坚持传统的习俗，认为一时的过错就是不可挽救的堕落，苔丝是一个犯了奸淫罪的罪人。哈代认为世界上没有完人。人的完美体现在对人生的理解、对生活的热爱、感情的丰富和忠实的爱情之中，只有从这样的完美中才能产生出纯洁来。哈代严厉批评了克莱代表的资产阶级的伦理道德，指出它已经成为人们精神上的枷锁。然而正是这种民族风俗习惯结晶的伦理道德，它具有神圣的性质，是不成文的法律，被认作永远正当的东西。苔丝就是这种世俗谬见的牺牲品。哈代通过苔丝的悲惨遭遇无情结揭示出这种伦理道德的伪善及其劣根性，把它的残酷内容暴露出来。

那么，苔丝的悲剧是社会悲剧？是命运悲剧？还是性格悲剧？抑或是三种之外的什么？我下面作以简要剖析与阐释：

毫无疑问，苔丝的悲剧首先是社会悲剧。哈代的“威塞克斯”小说是以其故乡威塞克斯为背景的。19世纪中期英国资本主义工业文明侵入农村，哈代的故乡也遭到强大的冲击，其宗法社会迅速解体，个体农民在经济上陷入失业、贫困的悲惨境地。面对工业文明带来的后果，哈代作为一个人道主义着者，心灵受到强烈冲击，在感情上深深地依恋古老的宗法文明，痛恨工业文明对人们和谐生存状态的摧毁。哈代乡土小说的社会悲剧意识立足于当时的社会背景，以工业文明与宗法文明的冲突为切入点，采用由全景到局部、由面到点的客观描述笔法，深入地表现人们的生存困境。《苔丝》中，哈代对当时工业文明对乡村的冲击进行了全景式描绘，然后以苔丝家作为个体农民的缩影，深入展现人们在物质困境中的痛苦挣扎。社会悲剧是人同社会环境的冲突造成的。苔丝生活在英国资本主义侵袭到农村并毒化社会气氛的维多利亚时代。这位弱女子，尽管聪明美丽，勤劳善良，但家贫如洗、经济拮据，负担沉重，她处于低下的社会地位，作为一个劳动者、一个无权无钱的农业工人，自然会受到资本主义社会的种种压迫和凌辱，这些压迫和凌辱有经济的、权势的、肉体的、更有精神的、宗教的、道德的、传统观念的。她的悲剧是时代造成的，同时，亚雷和克雷代表了把苔丝推向深渊的两种不同的客观社会势力，他们直接地共同造成了苔丝的社会悲剧。

第四篇：德伯家的苔丝

《德伯家的苔丝》

——落入悲惨深渊的女子

穆源名族学校六（2）班

朱雪倩

指导老师：王瑛

《德伯家的苔丝》是哈代著称于世的“威塞克斯系列”中的一部力作。作者对19世纪英国西南部农村自然景色的优美描述，字里行间无不浸透着浓郁的诗情画意。尤其是他采用了诗歌的艺术手法，将自然界的优美景色与人物的细腻感情结合起来描写：通过自然景色来揭示人的心境，又通过人的心境来使自然景象充满人的情感，这种巧妙的结合产生出诗的意境，因而具有很强的艺术感染力，使人读来真觉得是一种惬意的享受。

小说描述了一位纯洁姑娘的不幸命运。主人公苔丝是一位美丽的农家少女，因受东家少爷亚雷诱奸而失身，导致怀孕。从此，这一耻辱的事实剥夺了她接受真正爱情的权利，致使新婚之夜遭丈夫安玑遗弃。后来，万般无奈之中，她重回了亚雷的怀抱，不料，就在这时她那有名无实的丈夫安玑拖着病驱千里归来，苦苦寻觅。苔丝为了自己真正的爱，毅然杀死同居的少爷亚雷，在与安玑短暂欢聚后，走上了绞刑台。

父亲德伯的愚昧无知，贪图富贵，使苔丝跌下了社会的的深渊，失去了属于自己的快乐，贞洁，终日生活在痛苦之中；而亚雷的邪恶无耻则将苔丝少女的所有美好梦想化为灰烬，恍惚度日，在异地他乡遇见了安玑，遇上了改变她人生的第三件事——与安玑•克莱相爱。而正是这个安玑•克莱，正是这个有着天使之名的懦弱男人，懦夫——最终造成了苔丝的悲剧，他才是该背上十字架的人。导致这一悲剧起因的罪魁祸首固然是亚雷克，但导致悲剧结局的还有苔丝名义上的丈夫克莱尔。亚雷克只是赤裸裸的剥夺了苔丝的贞洁，从肉体上揭开了悲剧的序幕；克莱尔却使这场悲剧落下了帏幕，他在新婚之夜抛弃了苔丝，从精神上导致了悲剧的发展。倘若克莱尔没有抛弃苔丝，没有披着那层虚伪的道德面纱，也就不会有这场悲剧的发展与结局，但命运是不可预测的，天有不测风云，人间有的是悲惨的人。

在苔丝是不幸时，她又是幸运的，因为在她短暂的一生中，在她遭遇抛弃时，不离不弃的是那份温暖的友情。在苔丝回到娘家又身无分文时，因为失恋而酗酒的玛丽安又帮她找到了一份工作，使苔丝的生活又有了一丝光亮。在那些阴霾的日子中，温暖着苔丝冰冷的心的依然是这份暖人的友情；伊丝朴实的话语，体现了她高尚的品质„„

让我们为这份友情喝彩！

让我不明白的是，一个很好的天真女孩为什么会落的如此结果？她有什么错？漂亮？天真？自尊？也许你的天真善良真诚是你美之源，亦是悲之源。文章中亚雷有一句话：“美是要付出代价的。”苔丝用美换取了人们无限的“哀伤”，无论是愚蠢还是聪慧，都会被苔丝的“凄美”而伤。

苔丝是“一个清新、纯洁的大自然的女儿”，“在气质和体貌两方面都表现出一种尊贵的端庄，俨然是个皇后”，“她周身洋溢着诗意，一举一动都是诗，把诗人只在纸上写写的诗，活生生地显现出来了”，这是作者对她的评价；虽然苔丝是个失贞的女人，甚至最后沦为了杀人犯，但作者还是大胆地摒弃了世俗的观念，赞扬她为“一个纯洁的女人”，“远远胜过别的处女的清新”。

面对如此圣洁的女子，有人会说安玑•克莱才是真正该批判的人，但是无疑他生活在那个时代，他需要时间来释放自己，不可忽视的是，安玑•克莱是爱苔丝的，至少那爱是真的，而不是像亚雷一样，只有肉欲，把苔丝当做自己的玩偶。所以我认为苔丝的悲剧应该是当时的时代所酿成的，或许在现代社会也会有这样的事情发生，不过对于像苔丝一样的人来说，生存的机会就多了

这就是„„就是苔丝的遭遇吗„„，让我有种冲动，想鞭挞当时的社会，指责亚雷的无耻行径，藐视安玑的懦弱，同情苔丝的悲惨遭遇，彼岸花开，人还在吗，花落人也老„„

第五篇：《德伯家的苔丝》英文影评

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.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‟s experience 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 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 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.jiNJIE

The 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 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…
