Text | Snow reminiscence
She lost her virginity and committed murder, but she remained a great "pure woman." The upper classes saw her as a scum who had desecrated the sacredness of religion, and the people of the slums were dying for her ending.
She is the heroine Tess from the British writer Hardy's biography "Tess of the D'Urbervilles", an independent, brave, sincere and kind woman.

The Tess of the D'Urbervilles caused an uproar as soon as it came out, and a hundred years after its writing, it was hailed as the great tragedy of England. So what kind of charm does it have?
Lu Xun said: "Tragedy is the destruction of the valuable things of life to show people. ”
Hardy clearly maximizes the value of tragedy, seeing personal tragedy as the end of fate, looking up at sentient beings from the perspective of humanistic concern without the slightest compassion.
Tess was born into a family of poor peddlers, and when she was 17 years old, on her way to the market for her father, the only old horse in the family was hit and killed by an oncoming mail truck, and the guilty Tess returned home and had to obey her mother's arrangement to recognize her relatives.
This decision changed Tess's life, and after she confessed, she was insulted by Alec of the D'Urbervilles. Returning home, Tess soon gave birth to a baby, which unfortunately died prematurely.
Tess, who was pregnant before marriage, left home because she could not bear the ridicule and ridicule of the villagers and went to work as a milk worker. By chance, Tess meets Angel Claire, and the two young men soon fall in love.
During this time, Tess tried to confess to Claire several times, but she missed the opportunity again and again. On the night of the marriage, Tess finally plucked up the courage to confess to Claire, but in exchange for Claire's consternation and contempt. He insulted Tess, who had become his wife, then abandoned her and embarked on a journey to Brazil alone.
Tess, who waited for Claire to be fruitless, was forced by the pressure of life and Alec's entanglement, so she had to commit herself to Alec again. However, at this time Claire finally regretted it, and when he returned to his homeland again, he saw Tess, who had already lived with Alec, and he left sadly in disappointment.
Thinking of Tess, who had ruined her life at Alec, the fruit knife on the dining table ended Alec's life, and she eventually went to the execution ground.

Tess is undoubtedly a tragic figure, she is the lament of the times, the inevitability of women's tragedy in a patriarchal society, and the product of the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie.
The cause of Tess's tragedy seems to be the absurd "confession", but it is actually caused by the dereliction of duty and vanity of her parents.
The transition from the peasant class to the proletariat, accustomed to the oppressed poor people trying to carry the noble cars, but the class concept has long been deeply rooted, and different classes and different genders have become an insurmountable gap in this era.
Although Tess has what Claire calls "noble character", even though Claire has always agreed with the preciousness of freedom and progress, the ideas in his bones still flaunt the nobility of "chastity". Thus, by the time he learned that the woman he loved was not at all as holy as he had hoped, love itself had long since become worthless.
As a new youth with stubborn old ideas in his bones, Claire's pedantic and hesitant nature is not one of the reasons for the tragedy of Tess's fate?
The culprit is alec, the representative of the aristocratic class and the patriarchal forces, and it is his oppression that leads to Tess's bad luck one link after another.
Ironically, after he first violated Tess, he began to "repent", and the former foul-mouthed Alec was transformed into a priest who exported benevolence and morality. However, reuniting with Tess again, he "broke the ring" and turned back into a entangled demon.
Hardy boldly borrowed the cloak of religion, alluding to the loss of faith. It can be said that it is precisely because of the existence of religious factors that "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is controversial. Tess's existence was a challenge to feudal etiquette and a rebellion against the authority of faith.
Tess is brave, she did not resign herself to the harm of Alec, and she is admirable for choosing to raise her children alone and brave the gossip.
Tess is loyal, and in the days after Claire leaves, she hides her beauty by pretending to be ugly, clinging to her loyalty to her lover.
Tess is kind, she sacrificed her youth and life to fulfill the well-being of her family. Before she dies, she entrusts her sister to Claire, placating all those she loves dearly.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, the times determine fate, sympathy and appreciation resonate</h1>
Tess tried to rebel against the injustice of fate, but under the limitations of the times, her goodness became a weakness, her proper assistance grew evil, and her efforts eventually came to naught.
For Tess's ending, people naturally divided into two factions. The upper class criticized Tess for being unfaithful and rude and cruel, and deserved to die to apologize for her sins. The underclass lamented that Tess was industrious, pure, independent and brave, and deserved to be treated kindly.
Since ancient times, there have been many foreign works praising women's new ideas. Scarlett in "Gone with the Wind" saves the entire family through unremitting struggle, and Jane Eyre is happy in her constant pursuit of freedom. Only Tess bravely challenged the feudal tradition and eventually lost Qingqing's life because of the rebellion.
There is no doubt that "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is of greater tragic significance.
It can be said that Tess's tragic ending makes this work appear thicker and more valuable to the times.
