Reflection

After reading'Tess'，I feel so upset for this beautiful and poor girl. There is a saying in Tess, "Beauty comes at a price." Tess with the United States for the infinite "sadness", whether stupid or intelligent, will be Tess's "beautiful" and hurt. "Tess " was written by the famous British novelist and poet Thomas hardy, one of the representative work of creation more than one hundred years have passed. The heroine Tess was set up in the world literature gallery, this not only only is for people to go beyond traditional virtue, correction for human nature and the soul of the works of the hero have the huge energy has become one of the most moving images of women. Hardy gives an illustration of the tragic fate of Tess, the heroine of the novel, who is strong enough to be "sorrowful and colourful". Tess was a pure and beautiful and very hard-working country girl. She longed for the true kindness of life, but she was always attacked by falsehood and evil. Tess's cup began to work for the livelihood of the whole family to distant relatives, but because of young ignorance and yare cheated virgin chastity, became a "degenerate" girl, by the public opinion censure, she is not a sinner; After Tess and young Clay fell in love with each other, and because of the night of their wedding frank has a blemish in the past and was abandoned by her husband, and close at hand happiness; Out of a high sense of family responsibility and self-sacrifice, Tess for the survival of the family and again unwilling to become a mistress of Yare; Finally, because of her husband's change of heart, desperate Tess raised the blade of revenge, and finally became a murderer, and finally had to pay the price of life, leading to "as sensitive as gossamer, as white as snow" Tess was finally completely destroyed. Tess was an idealized modern woman by Hardy. In Hardy's ideal world, Tess was the embodiment of beauty and love, representing all that was good in Wessex: beauty, purity, goodness, simplicity, kindness and tolerance. Tess's soul was pure and her morals noble, but before bourgeois morals she was seen as a model of debauchery, a warning against lechery, the embodiment of sin that violated the realm of innocence. Leaving "Tess" behind, and seeing the tortured, lost and murderous schoolgirl, reminded me of them, and of two things I loved: dawn and camellia. The dawn, like the skin of a virgin, bright and lube, with hope and light in the morning and in the evening; There is a camellia, called "snow tower", she is white and fat, delicate as porcelain, in the cold season, proudly in full bloom, in the dust and into the world, as beautiful as water, alone fragrance. Maybe they are different, but I think they are the same, that is pure. It is precisely for this reason that the story of Tess is even bleaker. Why does Tess have the ability of "strong sense of sorrow"? Tess's "sorrow" has both social factors and her character. There is no doubt that Tess's "sorrow" is first of all "social mourning". Hardy's wessex novels are set in his hometown of Wessex. In the middle of the 19th century, capitalist industrial courtesy invaded the countryside in Britain, and in response to the consequences brought by industrial courtesy, Hardy, as a humanist, suffered a strong impact on his soul. He was deeply attached to the ancient patriarchal courtesy and hated the destruction of industrial courtesy to people's harmonious living state. In Tess, Hardy gives a panoramic description of the impact of industrial politeness on the countryside at that time, and then takes Tess's family as the miniature of individual farmers to deeply show people's painful struggles in material difficulties. Social misery is caused by the conflict between man and social environment. Tess lived in the Victorian era when British capitalism invaded the countryside and poisoned the social atmosphere. The weak woman, despite the bright beautiful, diligent and kind, and as poor as a church mouse, tight, heavy burden, she is in low social status, as a laborer, a right to agricultural workers without money, will naturally be capitalist society of oppression and reproach, these have economic oppression and abuse, powerful, physical, more spiritual, religious, moral, and traditional concepts. Her "sorrow" was caused by The Times. At the same time, Alec and Clay represented two different objective social forces that pushed Tess into the abyss, and they directly caused Tess's social tragedy together.
