as a Sunday morning in late October about four months after Tess's arrival at Trantridge, and a few weeks after the night ride in The Chase. Carrying a heavy basket and bundle, Tess was walking towards the hills which divided her from the Vale, her place of birth. The scenery and people on this side were very different from those in her village. Marlott people mainly thought and travelled northward and westward, while on this side people were interested in the east and the south. She walked up the same hill which d'Urberville had driven down so wildly that June day. On reaching the top of the hill, Tess paused and looked for a long time at the familiar green world of home. It was always beautiful from here, but since she had last seen it, her view of life had changed. She had learnt that wickedness exists, even where there is beauty, and now she could hardly bear to look down into the Vale

When seeing that Tess faced an ugly and rude man,I thought that she was so helpless.Actually,with the rapid pace of the society,there may be more and more Tess showing up.From my perspective,beauty is not the excuse to crime on each girl.Girls have the power to present their natural beauty under the law.Men have the obligations to obey the law and respect women.In our society,men and women should cooperate with each other instead of hurting each other.
