In Thomas Hardy's pen, Tess is a pure and beautiful girl who has been given infinite grace by the author. Tess's charm and beauty are unparalleled, but any reader who has seen "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" will pity this simple girl.
However, it is such a pure and beautiful woman who has suffered the greatest tragedy in her life, which has made countless people regret it.
Tess meets two men she shouldn't have met, a rich man, Alec, and angel, an avant-garde young man.
If Alec only defiled Tess's body, Angel completely destroyed Tess's spiritual world. These two men became indispensable factors in the tragedy of Tess's life, and thus created the disillusionment of a pure woman.
In Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Alec's first words to Tess are, "Beauty comes at a price." ”
Indeed, Tess paid a heavy price for her beauty. When Alec first saw Tess, he was attracted to her posture, so he pretended to be kind enough to let her work on the chicken farm, and eventually seduced and defiled Tess one night.
After Tess met Angel at the dairy, she did not get the happiness of marriage.
When she plucked up the courage to tell the cruel truth that she had been defiled by Alec and had a son, Angel did not forgive Tess, but could not bear the blow, and resolutely left his new wife on the wedding night and traveled alone to the ocean.
"Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is the representative work of the British writer Thomas Hardy, and it is also a tragic work.
Today, when we look back at this classic masterpiece, what inspiration should we draw from it? I think that in love, women must stay away from these two kinds of men, such as the men of Alec and Angel.

<h1>Stay away from men who covet women's beauty and body</h1>
Rowe Green said: "Marriages that only pursue looks are usually just a vulgar transaction. ”
In love, if a man only covets the beauty of a woman and only covets a woman's body, such a man cannot be associated.
Marriages that are bound by appearances have no soul and will not last long after all. Men who are bent on pursuing beautiful women will not give their hearts at all, and they have illusions about any woman with posture, and they are not worthy of women's lifelong trust.
This kind of man spends his heart and sex, overflows with feelings, sees one loves one, will not truly love women, and does not know how to respect and love women.
Just like Alec, the moment he sees Tess, he only thinks of taking her for himself, fantasizing about turning Tess into his mistress to satisfy his own desires.
From beginning to end, Alec has no love for Tess, in his eyes, Tess is just a tool for him to vent his desires, which is the greatest disrespect for women, which is very shameful.
As a poor country girl, Tess fundamentally lacked the understanding of male ambiguity, so that she quickly fell into the trap designed by Alec.
The night Tess was ruined became the worst night of her life, and she suffered for it.
Tess returned home and gave birth to Alec's child, but unfortunately died, she lost the child in great grief, and also lost the most precious virginity of women, and suffered for the rest of her life.
Later, even when Tess fell again, Alec took care of her again, but only coveted her youthful beauty and enjoyed her body.
When Tess is old, a man like Alec will surely find the next "Tess" to replace her.
In today's life, there are many men like Alec, which requires women to polish their eyes when interacting with men, and never be deceived.
Any man who takes advantage of women, any man who only covets women's posture, any man who is flowery and affectionate, is not worthy of women's love, and if you meet it, you must stay away as soon as possible.
For such a man, no matter how rich and powerful he is, women are not worth paying for him.
Because, once such men take possession of you and feel that you have no partner value, they will abandon you.
Women in love, must learn to protect themselves, in this world, not all men are worthy of your love, let alone easily pay themselves.
Do not hurt others, but also can not be hurt by others, maintain your own principles and bottom line, love with value and dignity, you will be cherished.

<h1>Stay away from cowardly men who have no responsibilities and responsibilities</h1>
Pope said: "The joy of love cannot end in a passionate embrace. Love must have a constant quality, to love yourself, but also to love each other. ”
Nowadays, some men do not love for a long time, and once love is over, they often show no responsibility and responsibility. They are not really responsible for women and tend to sink into the surface of women rather than truly love the woman herself.
Like Angel, he was a man of status, status, knowledge, and understanding. However, he only loved the surface of Tess, not Tess herself.
When I read Tess of the D'Urbervilles, I had naively thought that Tess could finally marry a man who loved her and should be happy to live her life.
The result was completely opposite, when Angel learned that Tess was impure, he actually left Tess on the wedding night and left alone.
Angel once described: "Tess's face is so cute, it is simply a typical appearance extracted from all women." ”
In the end, his love for Tess was not so faithful, but only superficial, and even if his conscience later discovered that the rediscovery of Tess could not hide the trauma he had caused to Tess.
I think angel's harm to Tess was enough to cause Tess's later tragedy, he pushed Tess's spiritual world and walked step by step to the end of life.
It's written that Tess says, "I killed him—I don't know how I killed him." But Angel, for your sake and for my own sake, I have to do it. ”
Tess has always had to prove to Angel, and it can be seen from her attempt to complete the redemption of love how much Angel has hurt her. Tess's redemption, both for herself and for Angel.
If Angel really loved Tess, was less cowardly, and had the responsibility and responsibility of a man, Tess would not end her life because of it.
The marriage of Tess and Angel, which could have been very happy, turned into a tragedy, was it not caused by Angel?
So, remind women in love, no matter how much they love, must not find a man who has no responsibility and responsibility to marry.
In reality, when women are looking for an object, they must pay attention to the quality of men, and the men you love must have responsibilities and responsibilities.
The man who truly loves you is not a person who doesn't say a word to you when something happens in his relationship, or even runs away alone regardless of your feelings. He should be able to bravely take responsibility, face with you, and be able to protect you for a lifetime.
In short, in marriage, the biggest bond between husband and wife lies in responsibility, which cannot be ignored by both men and women.
Tess's tragic experience also tells us this truth:
A suitable partner must be a responsible and responsible person who can respect women.
I only hope that every woman can get true love, be cherished, and be happy for a lifetime.
