H Lawrence, James Joyce, and Joseph Conrad and reveal him to be their inventive forerunner. B. Introduction of the workThe tragedy of Tess is the main point of Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Born in a poor countryside family, Tess was simple. One day, Tess’s father was informed that he had noble blood. Tess’s parents asked her to visit Mrs. D’ Urberville, who was a rich widow. (Dong, 10) Because her family’s horse was killed in an accident, they need some help from the Mrs. D’ Urberville. Tess got a job there after she went to the D’ Urbervilles. However, she was raped by Alec, and she got pregnant. She had no choice but give birth to her child after she went back her home. Unfortunately, the child died several days later. Then, she met Angel Clare when she worked at a dairy farm. They could not help falling in love with each other. Angel told Tess about his past, an evening of debauchery, and asked for Tess’s forgiveness on the wedding night. (Xiong, 137) Kind Tess of course forgave him. Then Tess told Angel about her past. Pure Tess thought that she had forgiven him, so it stands reason that Angel could forgive her. However, Angel left her for Brazil because he was really disappointed with her. After that, Tess had to work under bad conditions in order to support her poor family. And then her father died and the family was driven away from their house. Tess had no choice but go back to Alec for supporting her poor family. Angel returned from Brazil after one year and wanted to get together with Tess again. But she could not go with Angel because of her relationship with Alec. Tess could not feel more angrily with Alec, and after a big fight Tess killed him. Tess was arrested and executed after she had five day’s happy time with Angel. From the very beginning to the end, Tess was pure of heart and kind. However, a woman of honesty like Tess was driven to hell by society. Tess lost her virginity because of Alec when Tess was an innocent, simple, 17yearold village girl. Tess was regarded as a fallen woman, and the society blame her. Even Angel could not accept Tess’s “impurity” and thought the same as other people, after that, Angel left her. Later on, Tess was forced to live with Alec for her family. (Feng, 61)In the end, Tess was punished by the law because she killed Alec who took away her virtue.Ⅱ. Reasons of Her Own for Tess’s TragedyA. Her Sacrifice for the FamilyFor her kindness, Tess devoted herself to support the whole family. As a girl from a countryside family, she kept the peasant qualities: innocent and simple. The whole family lived on was an old and unhealthy horse. Besides, Tess’s parents were not diligent at all and would not work to support themselves. It was a big family that seven younger sisters and brothers. So the family had a hard life. Although Tess was just 17 years old, she had to take her parents’ duty because she was the eldest child and carried the financial burden of the whole family. But Tess was really young at that time, and she did not know the dark side of the world. (Lu, 72)John D’urbeyfield, Tess’s father, was a plain haggler in the village of Marlott. He was very arrogant for his noble ancestor and flaunted in a tavern when he learned that he was knightly family of the D’Urbervilles, the lineal representatives of ancient from a priest.
