Speaking of purity, it seems that people always associate it with the body. Men always want to marry a woman who is both internal and external. It seems that they can spend a lot of money before marriage, and women will be regarded as a stain. Whether it is fair or not, we don't argue, but when a woman really encounters physical misfortune, she deserves to meet someone who really loves her and say to her, "I forgive your past and you give me your future."

Ignorance of this word is really harmful, and this book also shows us many modern people's shadows.

Tess in Tess of the D 'Urbervilles is a beautiful and pure country girl. Because of the so-called "recognition of her own family", she was trapped by Alec, the young master of the D 'Urbervilles. After returning to China, she gave birth to a child, but unfortunately she died. This experience seems to have left a stain on her life.

On the way home, Tess saw the craftsman writing on the wall, "The punishment for your crime is to look at you helplessly". She was very scared. She didn't make the mistake of her own free will, but she condemned it from her heart. She thinks she is the embodiment of evil.

Her mother just wanted her to have a chance to be a rich wife. When she got home, she asked her mother loudly, "Why didn't you tell me that men are restless and kind?" Why didn't you warn me first? "

When the priest was not going to bury her child according to the church ceremony, she broke out: "I will never go to your church again."

In the past and in the future, too many ignorant girls believed the sweet words of men, and when they understood it, everything could not be redeemed.

In Tess of the D 'urbervilles, we also see such a question: Should the so-called past be confessed to the present?

After reorganization, she went to a place to work as a milkmaid, fell in love with the son of a priest who was studying farm experience and got engaged. At that time, in Angie's eyes, Tess was the purest girl in the world, and he pursued her fiercely. After a painful struggle, she decided to tell Angie about her past experience, although her mother repeatedly told her not to mention the past in her letter.

On their wedding night, they confessed their past to each other. However, the final result is not satisfactory. Tess easily forgave Angie's past, but morality seems to be more severe on women.

"You also like me to forgive you, forgive me! I forgive you, Angie. "

"I repeat, the woman I once loved is not you!"

Angie couldn't accept that the pure Tess he thought was not what he imagined, so after her wedding night, Angie went to Brazil and Tess continued her miserable life.

Many people encounter such problems and are generally entangled. Tell him they might lose him. If you don't tell him, you will feel uneasy, and sooner or later, the paper will not cover the fire. In my opinion, confession is a good choice, and it is necessary to confess the past as soon as possible. If the other person can't stand your past, then he is not qualified to have your future. With this experience, he has suffered enough. Why did he spend his life in inferiority complex? Therefore, when the other party can't accept it, it is better to learn to let it go.

Byron said, "love is just a part of life for men." But for women, it is the whole of life. "

We have seen too many examples of women losing their minds for love. Zhang Ailing said, "If you like someone, you will humble yourself to the dust and then bloom." Tess has been writing to Angie since she left, begging him to come back. In Tess, we see the humble shadow of love. From the beginning, Tess blamed herself for all her sins and thought that she was not worthy of Ann.

"Her love for Angelina almost doesn't even have a little bit of soil. She worships him wholeheartedly, thinking that he has only advantages and no disadvantages, and the knowledge that a mentor, philosopher and friend should have is incomplete. She looked at his whole body, full of perfect male beauty. His soul is the soul of a saint, and his wisdom is the wisdom of a prophet. "

Seeing this passage, I remembered this sentence: "In fact, the person you like just shines in your eyes. He is not a prince charming or a perfect lover. Just because you like it, you plated him with gold thread. "

"What matters in life is not the beauty of life, but the bitterness of life."

An Ji realized this truth very late. An Ji thought he was out of class, but his thoughts finally changed completely. Alec, as a representative of social evil forces, had become a missionary when he met Tess again. Tess is facing the death of her father and the difficulties of her family, so she must live with Alec. By the time Angie figured out a way to get back to Tess, she had become Alec's mistress. She finally killed Alec, and after living a happy life with Angie for a few days, she was arrested and sentenced to death.

A person's spirit will become richer only after being destroyed. When encountering misfortune, we can't change the established facts, but we can try our best not to let it affect our better life.

Tess of the D 'Urbervilles is an outstanding representative of Hardy Wessex's novels. There are a lot of scenery descriptions in the book, each of which echoes a certain stage of the development of the characters' psychology and destiny. The coincidence presented in the book also reflects the author's naturalism and fatalism. At the end of the book, it also gives us a regrettable ending. Tess entrusted her sister Lisa Lu to Angie. She said to Angie, "She doesn't lack all my advantages, but she doesn't have any shortcomings."

Tess's tragedy lies in society, which is caused by traditional morality, hypocritical religion and hypocritical law. Hardy thought it unfair for Angie to abandon Tess. He complained for Tess: "A woman, even if she did this, should she be punished like this?" Hardy complained about women who lost their virginity. He subtitled the novel "A Pure Woman".

Tess's tragedy also lies in her character. She is easy to compromise, easy to yield, and has a lofty nature. She is ambivalent. She regards herself as an impure woman, denies herself and suspects that it is unfair. She finally abandoned meekness and stabbed Alec to death with a dagger. Hardy designed a life stage for Tess for only five or six years, but all kinds of tragic experiences in her short life were thrilling. This shows us that on the moral level, the purity of the body has nothing to do with the purity of the spirit. The two cannot be confused, but too many people define a person's quality.

We should understand that nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory, but don't deny your life just because of a hurdle. Tess was brave for the last time. Her attitude towards secular stereotypes ranges from doubt to denial to resistance. Let's see that one day, even a weak force will break out and she will bring us a shock with her life.
