【正文】 housework. Her mother sent her to claim kin with a distant relative of noble D’Urbervilles family in the hope of changing the poor and miserable condition of the family. Here she did not expect to have the life of the upper–class, she only wanted to work hard to support her family. Because of her pure she does not Alec is a bad man, so she was seduced under the circumstance of her innocence when they were lost in the forest. Tess lost her girlish purity. But we could not accept that it was Tess’s fault. As the people of her village said, “It was to be”. From then on, Tess’s life was to be pletely different. For the sake of her family, she spared no effort to devote herself. After being deserted by Angel, her family was in trouble. Her father died of illness. Her mother was ill seriously. Her brother and sister were unable to go to school. The whole family begged along the street. In this case, Tess had to live together with Alec to improve her family’s living condition. It seemed that she was not a pure woman. But in that society and that time, women’s status was very low. They had no better way to earn a lot of money to support their family. So Tess had no choice but sacrifice herself in order to make the life of family improve. Tess is a selfless women, she still kept a noble spirit. In this sense, I think Tess was a pure woman. 英語(yǔ)專業(yè)?? 畢業(yè)論文 15 Chapter Three A personality of Tess Responsibility and Honest 英語(yǔ)專業(yè)?? 畢業(yè)論文 16 Tess is Responsible for Her Family Tess is able to bear great burdens placed upon her at a young age. She is between the ages of 16 and 23 when we read her tale. This ability to undergo so much at such a young age builds her character so that we see her as a powerful force in the novel. She accepts blame for Prince’s death。 the death of her infant son, Sorrow。 the loss of Angel and the destruction of her marriage。 as well as her killing Alec with her own hands and leaving home three times in her life to “test the waters of the world” outside her village. Tess is a fresh country girl who is full of the sense of responsibility for her family because of father’s laziness and mother’s simple mindedness. The horse’s death let her think she is responsible for this accident and she must earn money to support her poor family. This guilt leads her to visit the D’Urbervilles and puts her into an uncertain and potentially dangerous situation. The death of her father adds her family’s eviction because her reputation makes it incumbent on her to act for her young brother and sisters. With no option, she bears sadness to live with Alec again. If not for Tess, the family may be very badly off indeed, but Tess’s selfsacrifice gains nothing except a series of blame. Tess came back home again after Angel’s leaving. She sent all her money to her poor family. Then she had to bear a heavy family’s burden again. In order to get enough food to keep herself and her family alive, she left Marlette again looking for work. She found irregular diary work for the spring and summer. It was so hard a job that once she was near to faint. And after the death of her father, her family had to leave their cottage. However, they had nowhere to live. Tess could not endure the burden of the life any more. In order to support the life of her family, she had no choice but to live with Alec again as his mistress. 英語(yǔ)專業(yè)?? 畢業(yè)論文 17 “Tess’s acute sense of responsibility, which may lead to the assumption of tasks to be done or to the sense of guilt for things done or left undone, is a strongly unifying element.” 6 She first felt “selfreproach” for staying so long at the dance, and “remorse” for her mother’s labor in getting her frock ready. When her father was drunk, she took the wagon on an allnight trip toward the market. She fell asleep, and the horse was killed. Because she felt responsible, she undertook another venture that she dislikedvisiting the D’urbervilles in the hope of improving the family fortunes. She always had a feeling of responsibility for her family’s difficulties. That was why she endured so many pains. She might had a fortable life with the money Angel left for her, she might had a normal and happy life as other maidens if she refused to visit the D’urbervilles, but the character of endurance and responsibility made her did everything for her poor family. Tess is Honest to Her Love Tess’s true and pure love to Clare drives her to break the convention. She says, “I never loved him at all, Angel, as love you…Angel will you five my sin against you, now I have killed him?” Her ending of her relationship by means by murdering is unconventional. She can do anything even murders others just for her true love. She says, “O yes! I could walk forever and ever with your arm round me.” Although she is in a tough situation, her love for Clare is concrete and this drives her mad. She says again, “I feel strong enough to walk any distance.” Her love forces her to breakthrough. Her character of a new woman is clearly shown. Tess undergoes her selfdiscovery journey to look for her own happiness. Tess is free from the marriage convention after her killing Alec. She does not feel sad during her last stay with Clare. She enjoys the present and faces the future with courage. She says, “I am not going to think outside of now. Why should we? Who knows who 英語(yǔ)專業(yè)?? 畢業(yè)論文 18 tomorrow has in store?” She really releases herself. “I do not wish to outlive your present feeling for me. I would rather not. I would rather be dead and buried when the time es for you to desire me, so that it may never be known to me that you despised me.” Can a conservative woman have such a releasing thought as Tess does? Tess gets an optimistic mind. She asks Clare, “If anything happens to me, will you watch over Liz
