book review

"Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is a work that I have recently read, and it has brought great shock to my heart. This novel is a masterpiece of Thomas Hardy, which deeply reveals the conflict between social morality and personal fate through the fate of Tess, a rural girl, and gives me a deeper understanding of the world. Tess, a beautiful, pure, and kind rural girl, was gradually pushed to a dead end due to the merciless teasing of fate. Her story deeply saddens and sympathizes me. Tess's beauty is pure and natural, not in her appearance, but in her inner purity and elegance. This has made me deeply understand that beauty is not just about appearance, but also about inner richness and purity. Tess's tragic fate is closely related to her dual personality. On the one hand, she dares to resist traditional morality and hypocritical religion, showing a strong and brave side; On the other hand, she cannot completely break free from the constraints of traditional morality, feeling pressure and powerless in the face of secular public opinion. This inner conflict made her hover between resistance and compromise, ultimately leading to her tragic ending. Tess's life is the best interpretation of love and sacrifice. Her love for Claire was so deep and firm, but Claire's lack of understanding and hesitation about Tess's past shattered her heart. Although Claire later realized her mistake, Tess had already reached the end of her fate. Tess sought revenge for love, but ultimately ended up in a tragic ending, which left me deeply questioning the power of love. Overall, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" is a work that reveals the darkness of society and praises true love. It made me deeply realize the impact of social morality on personal destiny, as well as the powerlessness and contradiction of individuals in resisting social morality. Although Tess's ending was tragic, her resilience, courage, and selfless love gave me a deeper understanding and insight into life. In Tess, I saw the power of love and sacrifice, as well as the ruthless devouring of individuals by social morality. This is a work that makes me painful and happy. I deeply feel Tess's tragedy, but at the same time, I am also moved by her bravery and selflessness. This novel has given me a deeper understanding and comprehension of life. I will cherish these insights and face future challenges with a more mature and rational attitude.
