It is through these characters and their dilemmas that Thomas Hardy displays the social issues found in Tess of the D39。s thought process and the impact of the character39。male rationality is set over against female irrationality Thus men are wise and superior to women ,and the women must be subordinate to him and serve him.This novel is setting at the Victorian Age ,so a man could live a dissipating life as he had once done while a woman could not . In the male centered society ,man can dominate woman and woman had to suffer the unfairness of man –made law, the law by which man and woman were not eaqually treated in terms of morality. At that age ,the male demand for purify in woman and the use the double standard in sexual matters were the essential features. These unfair rules deteremined by the Christianity and characterized by patriachy.Throught the whole novel ,Tess is related to two men :Alec and Angel, one is Stan ,the prince of darkness and another is Angel ,neither of whom could be better than the other .It seems that that she now jumps out of the frying pan and then into another one .It’s them that caused Tess’s destruction. Alec is represented hypocritical religion while Angel represented Christian morality and bourgeois. It’s the two beliefs that made Tess hurt physically and mentally.Alec as the first man in Tess’s life who hurt Tess by possess her body by the advantage of class and gender. He reveals his feelings of superiority initially on the ride in the Chase. When Tess wipes her cheek after Alec’s kiss, he exclaims:Mighty sensitive for a farm girl ![6]From what he said ,we can conclude that he assumes cultural right because of class and gender advantage to have Tess’s body. Actually, Tess is of the true, “instinctive” nobility, while Alec is “mighty insensitive”. Because he is ill—mannered than Tess .And Later, when he proposed to Tess, he not show any love feeling rather said :I was your master once! I will be your master again.[7]Compared with Alec ,Angel is kinder and more rational than him. But his Christian morality hurt Tess in heart deeply. When Tess told Angel that she was the decendant of nobility ,Angel said I thought you were the new daughter of nature, but unprepared you were the aristocrats in decline .[8]These words revealed that his true intentions, since he thought Tess is a purified girl ,who pletely conformity with his standards for a spouse as well as the moral of Victorian Age. Although he was rebellious in some aspects, he still use the moral standards to judge Tess.After they married ,Tess’s confess again show Angel’s beliefs.He tells her of the time when ,be set by religious doubts and despair, he had gong to London and spent two days in “dissipation with a stranger” After it was over ,he realized the error of his ways ,and knew he would never do anything like it again. He feels ,however that Tess ought to know of it ,and he is glad he has confessed .He ask she: “Do you forgive me ?”She pressed his hand tightly for an answer .Now, of course, Tess feels that her confession has been made easier ,and says that she in turn has something to tell as well .Angel can not believe it is serious.[9] Angel finally abandons her for her “ impurity ”.Therefore ,Tess is a victim of injustices .Tess is bound to confront a tragic fate in the unfair capitalist society. Chapter 4 ConclusionTess of the D’urbervilles is Hardy‘s the greatest work .Hardy put great energy to describe the capitalism industrialization expansion casted depredation on peaceful countryside life. Although the novel mainly tell Tess’s tragedy fate Actually, it reflects all the peasants’ miserable destiny.This thesis takes a view from ecofeminism ,challenged the former theories. It argues that the master sheet clearly show that feminists’ intimacy with nature and masculine’s opposition to nature. Tess, as a representative of female, is pletely at ease in the nature area .While men were running counter to the nature ,they just give themselves to expand and invade .Meanwhile, nature is not the mere victims ,so were women .Human being discover the law s of nature merely for reconstructing nature. The aim of men’s control by means of applying code of ethics is also for insult and possession by themselves.Ecofeminism believe that there is close relationship between the domination over women and the exploitation of nature. As both forms of domination and all others that conform to this pattern are bound by the same conceptual logic of hierarchal value dulisms, each must be addressed in order to address the others.ReferencesAcknowledgementsThe acplishment of my dissertation owes greatly to all the professors who have taught me in the four years at Nanchang University.I would like to take this chance to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Zhu Yarong for her patience and guidance for this thesis .She has provided me with instructive guidance and constructive suggestions.I am also grateful to many of my good friends and classmates for their ments and support.It has been a g
