In the novel Tess of the D’urbervilles,Tess is successfully depicted.She is portrayed as a brave girl,hard-working,beautiful and innocent.Alec represents a brutal and destructive force,which triggers Tess’s tragedy.Angle’s inveterate old-fashioned prejudices made him relentlessly abandon Tess.Yet what Hardy tries to show is that the disintegration of rural economy in England brought about by the intrusion of capitalist relations as well as the hypocritical morality of the time are the obvious causes of Tess’s tragedy.Meanwhile,Hardy also attacks the injustice of the law.In the novel,he believes a woman is helpless in the hands of fate and Tess is trapped in the web of fate.Her tragedy is fated and inevitable. 相似文献

Few people read Tess from Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s"body theory".In Phenomenology of Perception,Merleau-Ponty states that it is body as the subject that perceives the world;such body is a phenomenal body in contrast to an objective body.Tess’s"being in the world"through the body connotates a new way of looking at the classic Tess.Tess’s way of perceiving and understanding the world also enlightens us about relationship between human and self,human and other,human and society,human and nature. 相似文献

Thomas Hardy’s works are considered to have"contained new wine in an old bottle"by critics and reviewers. The"old bottle"refers to his authorial omniscient narrative and his form inheriting from the tradition, which is often criticized, especially by those modernists, while"new wine"designates his other sides apart from his old-fashioned writing style, the modernistic themes in his writing. Tess, is a novel that records the transition from conventional to modern. By reading the text and analyzing Tess of the D’Urbervilles under the social context three main modernistic themes can be probed out:Firstly, the spiritual isolation and loneliness in the novel are apparent, and the lack in mutual understanding and sympathy between each other is universal. Besides, the title heroine, she was impossible to fulfill her dreams with various hostile powers set against her, coercing into predicaments one after another, tougher and tougher. Furthermore, another theme popular with later modernists, the alienation, is also embodied in the novel. 相似文献
