【正文】 ur lives in Dorsetshire, a faraway country, enjoying his writing career. He is not only loved and esteemed by the English, but also wellknown in our country. Almost a century ago, we have read the translation of his works, and the film of Tess, TV series of Mayor of the Casterbridge won the fame, too. He is a crosscentury writer with his 60 years in 19c and 28 years in 20c. While as an English writer, his years have passed. However, a new wave of Hardy fad existed in the western countries in the middle of the 20th century: His works e off the press once and once again。 and likely enough It would lead to some noble gentleman marring her. In short, I know it.” From words above, we can see that it is actually Mrs. Durbeyfield who pushes her daughter to the pit of hell. “In the Durbeyfield countenances there was nothing of the red wrath that would have burnt upon the girl from parents more ambitious for her welfare.” It is her selfish parents that never regret to exchange Tess with fortune. “Why didn?t ye think of doing some good for your family instead o? thinking only of yourself? See how I?ve got to teave and slave, and your poor weak father with his heart clogged like a drippingpan. I did hope for something to e out o?this! To see what a pretty pair you and he made that day when you drove away together four months ago! See what he has given us —— all, as we thought, because we were his kin. But if he?s not, it must have been done because his love for?ee. And yet you?ve not got him to marry!” Secondly, Alec and Angel have very close relation with Tess?s fate. Alec filled his love to Tess with lust and desire while Angel make his love impure, mixing too much unreality. Alec, the typical goodfornothing young man from a wealthy family, is the direct killer of Tess.

And actually it is all for him that the pure Tess loses her virginity and mit a crime and loses her own life. The more important leading character in the novel to push Tess to death is Clare. It is so satirical that the hypocrite is named Angel. Ostensibly, he acts as an honest, upright, genial, cultured and elegant gentleman, and he never regrets to show his ardor to Tess. He seems to be an openminded intellectual. Unexpectedly, it is so “perfect” a young man who makes Tess heartbroken thoroughly. —— “Don?t, Tess。 and then there came into her head her mother?s ballad of the mystic robe—— ?That never would bee that wife That once done amiss,? which Mrs. Durbeyfield had used to sing to her as a child, so blithely and so archly, her foot on the cradle, which she rocked to the tune.” And when she saw the picture of ancestors, there was a feeling of ill omen well up in her heart with the words of priest Laurence which hints that her wedding would have with an unhappy ending. All the upper connection in the mind misleads Tess to a feeling of unluckinessapproaching and weakens her courage to contend with fate. Another is her dual personality which contains one side of brevity and the other of feebleness. When we were reading those words that she was so frank to her love to Angel and her hatred to Alec, we admired how brave she was to resist traditional morality and run after her happiness.
