TheImpressionofReadingTessofthed’Urbervilles
InmostworksofThomasHardy’s,healmostentirelyconcernshisnativeWestCountry—Wessex.ForHardy,naturewastheprimaryfactinlife.Hefeltthatnaturewasgoodbecauseitrepresentedfreelifeinitshonest,basicform.Naturewasalsoharshanddemanding,punishingthosewhodidnotliveintunewithit.Formostofhismajorcharacter,lifeisastruggletoregainthesimplicityandtruthofnaturalliving.Mostofthemaresensualwomenlike“Tess”inTessofthed’Urbervilles,theyarethecommonvillainsinHardy’snovels.TheWessexnovelsaresimilarinmantotherways.Allofthemrelyheavilyonsensationalincidentsandtheirplotsareoverloadedwithexcitingclimaxes.
OfalltheWessexnovels,Tessofthed’Urbervillesisoneofthemosttypicalone.TheotheroneisJudetheObscure.Wessexraisedastormofcontroversybecauseoftheir“indecent”subjectmatter.Today,theirsubjectswouldbeconsideredharmless,evendull,buttheVictorianswereoutragedbyhisgloomyoutlookandlackofsweetness.
Thesubtitleofthenovelis“APureMaiden”.Thenovelportraysapuremaiden’stragicexperience.InTessofthed’Urbervilles,apure,justandindustriousruralmaidenTessbecamedegenerateunderthepressofsociety.Shewasfilledwithloveandthetrustinothers.AfterbeingrapedbyAlec,sheleftAlec’shome,whichembodiesherpureheartandheryearningforwell-beinglife.Shedidn’twanttolivewithamanshehated.
Afterwards,shelearntofherpregnancy.Inspiteoftheblameofherfriendsandfamily,shegavebirthtothebabyandbroughthimup,whichembodiesherdignity.Atlast,shecouldn’ttoleratethemiseryofherinfidelitytoherhusband,soshekilledAlec,whoragedher,andfinallyshecommittedasuicide,whichembodiesherloyalty.However,allofthesewererepelledbythesocietyatthattime.Herbehaviorwasregardedasharmtothesociety’smoral,andshewasregardedasasinfulwoman.Onthesurface,thegistofthenovelistodescribethemiseryofasuffererwhowascriticizedbythesocietywithoutanysympathy.Butactually,whattheauthorreallywantedtoconveywasthefalsemoralstandardandtheuglymannersatthattime,andTesswasthevictimofthecorruptsociety.HardywhollyrevealedabuseofthesocialmannersthroughthedescriptionofTess’stragicexperiences.
Ofcourse,Tess’sendingnotonlyhadthesocietyelements,butalsowasconnectedwithherowncharacter.Thesefactorswereallcloselyassociatedwiththecapitalistsocietyatthattime,andwerethereflectionofthesociety.Consequently,Tess’slifedoomedtoatragedy.
