book review

The book tells of the tragic fate of a rural girl who is called "Tess ". Her fate seemed to have a fatalistic color, as if it belonged to the will of the hidden god, but I could read that her tragedy belonged to the times. She has many good qualities, such as simplicity, such as kindness, such as tolerance, but living in that era, she can not escape the power of that era and be swallowed up by it. As Tess said ," The world we live in is scarred, and where birds sing sweetly, poisonous snakes hiss ." Tess had honest beauty and artless innocence, like the rose with snow. "The male worker in the field is just a working man in the field, and the woman in the field is part of the field ," it says. Men need to accumulate and grow to become thick and broad, women are often born ." Tess is such a person, people can not help but moved and love. When she fell in love with Clay, she was so warm and firm, like a pilgrim falling before the statue, and I remembered Yeats's verse :" how many people have loved your beauty / loved your happy and charming youth / false or true feelings / only one person loves your pilgrim soul /" From then on, in her heart, Clay's soul is the soul of the saints, Clay's wisdom is the wisdom of the prophets, she encircles herself with the glory of love, forgets all the troubles of the past, and rejects all the doubts, fears, shame that haunt her day and night. I think, at such a time, a woman's soul is the real soul, more sound and fragrance, more boundless beauty. However, the misfortunes which she could not escape came one after another: the shameless Arrey, who seized her happiness, and the weak Clay, who so failed Tess's love... Now, frivolous dandy is still everywhere, secular prejudice is always stubborn and strong. A woman's grieving history can be a heavy cross for herself, and a joke for others. A society's lack of sympathy and love seems to be a more painful `unfortunate thing than Tess' s story.
