book review

Tess is one of the famous novels by Thomas Hardy, an English writer. It tells the tortuous fate and social existence of Tess, a girl. This book deeply reveals and criticizes the British society at that time, and is a novel full of thought and art. Tess, the protagonist of this novel, is a semi-illiterate peasant girl, but she has a strong curiosity and sensitivity to beauty, and has an unusual vision and pursuit of her life and future. However, due to the poverty of the family and the indifference of the society, Tess's pursuit gradually sank, and finally fell into the mire of fate and the tragic end. Through Tess's fate, this book shows the injustice of the social system and the helplessness of people, and reveals the important value of social realism to people. In terms of art, the book adopts Thomas Hardy's usual method of digging deep into the inner heart of the characters, the characters are bright, vivid, delicate, and the plot is compact, tragic and moving. In particular, the image of Tess in this book not only expresses her personal tragedy of fate, but also reflects the injustice and cruelty of social reality. At the same time, there are some wonderful descriptions in the novel, such as the fields in the morning and the starry night of meditation, which not only make the atmosphere of the story more intense, but also reflect the author's love for nature and the pursuit of beauty. In short, Tess is a novel full of deep thinking and literary and artistic value. Thomas Hardy, with his extraordinary literary talent and keen insight into social reality, enables readers to have a more detailed understanding of the British society at that time, and enables people to calmly think about contemporary society and human nature. Therefore, this is also a work worthy of careful reading and reflection.
