book review

Tess herself is also a very contradictory role in the text, but her heart is suffering a lot, because she has been using the secular moral standards to evaluate her life. She feels that she has lost her innocence, has a bad reputation, and is not worthy of angel's love. In the past, she refused Angel; when angel was unable to accept things, she left her hometown and went to Brazil After five years, Tess had become Adam's mistress, and she felt it was too late for her to be with angel. However, she was unwilling to pursue happiness and fight against the discrimination and morality in this world. After being destroyed and innocent, she once again and again refused Adam's request and left for independence and happiness. After a long struggle, she chose to stay with angel. However, this kind of contradiction is often difficult to adjust itself, because the values behind the two attitudes are quite opposite, and there are huge conflicts. One is to imprison women in illogical moral prison, the other is to break through the unreasonable prison pursuers' freedom and dignity. The more things Tess went through and the more comments she received, the more restrictions the cage placed on her, and the tighter the chains. However, at the same time, the injustice Tess received will arouse her inner desire to fight, and become more and more intense. The suffering and injustice of life and the impermanence of life after angel left make the contradiction more and more intense. When angel comes back, "it's too late", with mixed flavors, helpless and unwilling, the desire to fight to break through the flesh and blood of the body also needs to break through the shackles of morality, but this is bound to bring a bloody tragedy.
