关于苔丝英文读后感 篇一
Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why did such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as Tess should suffer inevitable ruin? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Why the tragedy is happened more than one hundred years ago repeated in modern times? Is everything too late?
Recently I’ve read the British famous writer Thomas Hardy’s masterpiece-Tess of the D’urbervilles. It describes the misfortune of a poor peasant girl Tess. In this novel, we can see Tess resist her unjust fate again and again, till to be ruined. With the development of the plot we find that her tragedy is inevitable. We can not but feel the intense emotions of pity and fear.
The cause of Tess’s tragedy has always been the concern of people, such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as Tess should suffer inevitable ruin. What leads to her tragic destiny? Who killed her? I can’t do very well in analysis the novel. I don’t know clearly how the time she lived in affect her life. I do have an understanding of the novel by myself. Alec and Angel who are the two people very closely related to Tess’s fate. I think fierce Alec played a very important role in killing Tess, but in fact, it was hypocritical Angel who killed Tess indirectly but more cruelly.
I wanted to cry, Tess, do not follow him when I read that plot. I hope she met her true love before she was seduced, but everything was too late. She was seduced by a so called gentleman-Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respect her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of man. Women were too weak. Tess was poor, weak and helpless and met the wrong person at the wrong time.
I strongly believed that it was Angel who killed Tess cruelly and without mercy. Angel was a liberal bourgeoisie. He made himself lived in the countryside rather than serving the god. Angel was a man who questioned the church’s teaching. He thought the church’s views were too strict and did not allow free thinking. Angel extricated him from religion and his family, but he couldn’t break with traditional moral principles. He wanted a wife who was the daughter of nature, honest, sensitive, intelligent, graceful, pure as snow and extremely beautiful. In the first part I thought Angel loved tess very much. In the following part I found that he loved an image he imagined. After their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave angel at once. She innocently thought that the thing she was going to confess would be forgiven. Poor Tess! She sat and told everything to angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven, but she was wrong. The woman pays.
Angel claimed that you were one person, now you are another when tess asked why. The woman Angel had loved was not tess, was another woman in tess’s shape. Angel loved the person he imagined. He considered tess the daughter of nature. Compared to tess’s words, “ I thought angel, that you loved me-me my very self! If you do love me, how can you treat me like this? It frightened me! Having begun to love you, I will love you forever, in all changes, in all troubles, because you are yourself. I ask no more.” we know how deep tess loved angel. She would have laid down life for angel. She not only loved the merits but also accept the demerits. We know from the book that when angel came back from Brazil, he could hardly be recognized by his mother because the cruel climate and hard work had aged him by twenty years, but tess accepted angel immediately, because he was the man she fell in love with.
I don’t know why angel couldn’t forgive tess since he himself had done the similar thing.
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇二
Tess of the DUrbervilles is known as the treasure of English literature and world literature. It was published at the end of the 19th century. The author is a great British critical realist writer. "A melancholy image stands at the junction of the Victorian era and the new era", Thomas Hardy.
Tess is a story about how the society forced a pure, simple, honest, hardworking, intelligent and beautiful rural girl into despair and finally killed her. She has created a tragedy with different artistic images, and the story of the elder has become a pain in the hearts of many very old people because of the success of this tragedy.
Tess has pure and natural beauty. She is the daughter of nature. Her purity is like the blue sky. Although it is occasionally covered by dark clouds, when the dark clouds disappear, the most pure and transparent sky in the world is still blue.
Tess is also strong and optimistic, but her life is irreversible. Even if Tess is given several more choices, I believe she will eventually choose the old way, unless Angela does not abandon her.
Tesss experience reflects the reality of many societies. Perhaps every reader can read the profound implication. However, in the contemporary life, I think we should all learn Tesss attitude of keeping her heart pure and facing all difficulties positively. Even though she was desperate, she finally died in love.
When she was ruthlessly defiled by Yalei, she resolutely chose to give up the quality of life provided by Yalei and return to her poor home. From this, it can be seen that she sticks to her inner purity.
When she knew that she had a child from Yalei, she still insisted on giving birth to that little life. This is a kind of greatness derived from maternity. She only loves her children, which is a kind of deep love without regrets. At that time, as an unmarried mother, she was undoubtedly great.
Love comes from the deepest heart. This is a kind woman. This book, this person, this matter, we need to personally understand. The above is just my humble opinion.
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇三
TESS is really a tragic figure in the book TESS of the d’Urberwilles. She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong.
Maybe God didn’t agree with that because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.She sat and told everything to Angel hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong.
She was not forgiven not as she thought she was. The woman pays.Without Angel’s love nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust.
Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late! Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇四
"I have been a victim, and I shall always be a victim -- that is the law!" -- "Tess of the D Urbervilles" Reading Afterthought Abstract: Tess is the descendant of a declining noble D Urberville family, but also the eldest daughter of a poor peasant family, because of the vanity of her parents and the poverty of the family to know the so-called "cousin" Alec, then unfortunately lost her virginity. Tess was so sad that she decided to go to a new place -- the dairy farm in the south. She knew Clare over there, life regain new life, be in love with Clare gradually acquaintance acquaintance acquaintance, be in the past that Tess cannot be accepted when two people are honest with each other on newly-married day however, the life of Tess walks again misery. Clare realizes her mistakes in her experience in Brazil, and when she returns to Tess, Tess kills Alec for him. Their reunion lasted only a few days and ended tragically in Tesss death. Key words: suffering, helplessness, victim, tragedy, morality, patriarchy Text: "I have been a victim, I will always be a victim -- this is the law!" Tess cried out in helpless despair when she met Alec again at Flintcomb-Ash. As a peasant class at the bottom of the feudal society and a woman, she had few rights, but was injured everywhere. Officially, Tess of the D Urbervilles is about the future and fate of a bankrupt farmer in Wessex. It is undeniable that Tesss family has nowhere to go after her fathers death, Tesss personal injury by Alec, being abandoned by Clare for her own fault, being bullied by the farmer at Flintstone And finally ending in death, It reflects the hopeless, lonely and uncertain future of wessexs bankrupt farmers and their misery, doomed to be sacrificed and abandoned. Tesss family epitomized the miserable bankrupt peasant. However, what I see from the book Tess is more the suffering and helplessness of women in the patriarchal society.
At that time, Tess was a thoughtful and thoughtful woman. As in chapter 13 have so a "sometimes she bizarre fantasy will strengthen the surrounding natural processes, until they seemed to become part of her history, they are more than become part of her history, and it is her own history, because the world is only a psychological phenomenon, the surface looks like, what it is actually what."
It is because she likes to think that she has many fantasies. She was also a pure idealist, and when she was at the dairy, "for her the existence of the whole world depended on her perception, and the existence of all living things depended on her existence. For Tess, the universe itself was born on a day in a year of her birth. 。 That was why Tess was so innocent, so lively, so full of love for the world, that even after her humiliation she walked to the dairy wonderfully refreshed. As she skipped along, against the gentle south wind, her hopes mingled with the sunshine and seemed to melt into a halo around her, "and even in a birds song" seemed to hide joy."
But she thought to herself also brought a lot of distress, when Claire wants to teach her history, she said, "except that I know already, you dont want to know something more"， "know what about, is just one of a long line of people, only found in an old book has a person like me, just know that I want to play the role of his, I should like to learn why -- why does the sun shine on the good and the bad alike? But thats not what books say."
However, such kind, beautiful and intelligent Tess, still can not escape the bad luck of being sacrificed, in the traditional feudal patriarchal society is still experiencing suffering, but powerless to resist.
First of all, Tesss parents wanted to "recognize"， but pushed Tess into Alecs "jaws"， which was the beginning of Tesss tragic fate. It was Alec who had made her lose her virginity, who had made her hang her head in public, who had made her go out only in the evening, who had made her afraid of humans: "She knew how to seize the very short moment of the evening. Then light and darkness are perfectly balanced, the restraint of day and the strain of night neutralize each other, leaving the absolute freedom of the soul, and only then is the anguish of living reduced to the smallest possible degree. She is not afraid of the night: her only thought is to avoid mankind -- or rather the cold mass of life called the world." 。
Then, though she found new life at the dairy, she was abandoned by Clare. Tess could forgive his debauchery, but he could not forgive Tesss unintentional loss of chastity, and even said, "The person I used to love was not you, but another woman exactly like you." And this is mainly because of the traditional moral evaluation in Claires mind. In traditional societies, men can be dissolute, but women must be absolutely faithful to men. This is not only the tragedy of Tess, but also the tragedy of many groups of women in this social background -- victims of the traditional moral ideology of the feudal patriarchal system. Then came Flintcomb-Ash, where Tess was tortured not only by the farmer, but by Alec. It was there, when Alec sought her again, that Tess, after slapping him with her glove, cried out in despair, I have been a victim, and I shall always be a victim - thats the law! 。 Alec, the disastrous beginning of Tesss life, can now be converted to religion, but she suffers a lot because he is abandoned by her husband. "He was the one who brought her the curse, but now he is on the side of the gods, while she was the victim, and now her soul has not been renewed"。
In the end, Tesss miserable life ended in death. Although Clare forgave her in the end, as Tess said when they met again, it was "too late" for her to forgive herself for being cheated by Alec again. But to be reunited with Claire, she chose to kill Alec. She this solemn and stirring revolt, still cant escape be punished fate. From beginning to end, it had been Tess.。.
There is a sentence in the book, which vividly shows the helplessness and despair of a group of women like Tess under the oppression of traditional moral thoughts in the patriarchal society: "She looked at him with her eyes and said that her eyes were just like a sparrow caught by someone. She felt desperate and could not resist, so she had to wait for the person to wring her neck." 。
"I have been a victim, and I shall always be a victim -- that is the law!" This is the law of patriarchal society with traditional moral constraints, and this is the tragedy of group women.。.
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇五
In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”
People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.
Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…
Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.

Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!
Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇七
Tess is a tragic character, who should be responsible for this tragedy? Im afraid many readers will assume that the villain, The young Master Yarek, is the culprit. As far as I am concerned, the cause of the tragedy is Yarek, but the end of the tragedy is Tesss nominal husband Clare. Yarek just stripped Tess of her chastity, and opened the prelude of the tragedy from the body; Clare abandoned Tess on their wedding night, spiritually leading to the development of the tragedy, and finally to the end of the tragedy. If Clare did not abandon Tess, did not wear that layer of false moral veil, there would not be the development and outcome of this tragedy.
The plot of the story is not complicated: the simple and beautiful countryside old niang Tess came to the noble d Urberville house as a maid, was the villain of the young master Yarek tricked into pregnancy, so by the neighborhood laugh and blame, began to fall into the abyss of pain. Later Tess met Clare from a rich pastor family, the two people really love each other. The night of the wedding Tess will be their past tragic experience to tell Clare, did not think of the return is the ruthless departure of Clare. Tess suffered unimaginable hardships, but no forgiveness or any news from Clare. Forced by the rough life, Tess in despair fell into the hands of Yarek again. Since then wake up Clare to find Tess, Tess regret. In order to live with the heart of love Clare, Tess killed the destruction of their life yarek. A few days later Tess was arrested, sentenced to be hanged for murder, Clare is in accordance with Tesss will, with her sister Lisa to start a new life.
In the novel, Hardy created a kind and beautiful girl Tess with vivid strokes and sincere emotions: As if "a pure and fresh daughter of nature"， "she showed a dignified dignity in both disposition and aspect, like a queen"， "her whole body was full of poetry, her every move was poetry, and she brought to life what the poet had written only on paper"。 Although Tess is a woman who lost her virginity, and even eventually became a murderer, the author still boldly rejected the concept of secular, praising her as "a pure woman"， "far more than other virgins of freshness"。
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇八
I think Tess must be a kind-hearted girl.
She endured so much pain, but she never complained about others. When she was young, she missed her best love. Then fate began to play jokes with her. A so-called gentleman cheated her and took away the most important thing of an un-married girl. No matter Tess was regretted or not, people around her, contained the church, all of them thought that she was a bad girl. She couldn’t get married. She couldn’t stay home to wait for her parents’ order to get married. She ran away and met her best love. Since she thought that she wasn’t innocence, she stood her deep love of Angel, and put the opportunities to other girls, those who can never compared to her.
At last, she got married to Angel, but the fact of her history made her husband angry and bad-tempered. She tried her best to make her husband happy, but he didn’t care what she had done, how sad she was. Until Angel found that he loved Tess very much, Tess had come back to the disgusted man. True love was a power. Tess killed the man, ran away with Angel, lived in others’ house, and be caught by the police. Although Tess would be in prison and be killed, she wouldn’t regret at last. After all, Angel really loved her at last.
Everybody will day dream sometimes. But we won’t care it any time. Tess’s father was a dreamer. We must think about ourselves. When somebody tells us a thing which is far away from our daily life, we must think about it carefully and investigate the fact. We are not fools. If what they say, what you believe, our world will become a mixture. We all know that we are just citizens of China, and students of Kashgar Teachers’ collage. Life is life. How can we fall into a hole of imagination? This imagination led Tess to death. That was the result.
In the old times of China, people also had a conception of innocence of girls. But did they think about men? Yeah, at that time, men were the host of world. Women just needed to give birth to babies, teach them, and do housework to their husband. That was a duty. Even though at present, we don’t have a judge on men either. We also meet problems on finding jobs. Because those companies think that our women are terrible. We can’t do many things but men can, we will give birth to babies but men don’t, every month we have several days of mental problems but men don’t. That’s unfair. We do so much, so it is right to give more opportunities to us.
At the ball, Tess missed her love. Nowadays, we need to be brave. And when the opportunity is coming, we must catch it in time. If we lose, we can hardly meet it again. The chance is given to the people who get the ready to. So we should prepare and chance will find us. And we need to learn refusing. If Tess refused to made friends with Alec, maybe she could avoid this disaster. In present times, many children know the relationship between women and men earlier. And also many of them don’t know. Actually, our society need to teach them in order to know what will happen or what they should do to protect themselves. Although most parents think that this is a bad thing beyond virtue, but it tends to the young to learn that.
We need forgiveness. We can see that Tess lived in a religion place, but those people didn’t get the thought of kind-hearted and forgiveness. As we are students who have the relief on Marxism, we have learned to be kind-hearted, but how about them? So we should be an atheism. We learn science, not ghosts.
After Tess went to the farm, she met her love again. She was afraid, was under pressure, and was shy on her first feeling of love. Why should we have a crime feeling after making a mistake? Just correct our mistakes, we are good persons too. Of course, we can not make mistakes if we know they are wrong.
We can not avoid problems either. Tess daren’t to tell Angel the truth. When Angel knew that, he couldn’t accept at once. In our daily life, we can meet many difficulties. And we may make mistakes. At that time, we must think highly of it and face it but not to avoid. Fact will come out unless you don’t do it. Most of us can not accept our relatives’ or friends’ betray. So face it earlier, maybe we can get forgiveness earlier.
Another important thing was that Tess’s family had many children. The poor environment made her have to approach to Alec. Should the poor do like this? There are many poor men in our country, but they find jobs for themselves, although the job is very hard to do. They make their own money and endure pains.
I just think of my family. I am the only child of my parents. They love me very much. And most of my life, they had a correct way to teach me. And I have grandparents. When I was young, four of them taught me to do housework. They said that I would be a good girl if I listened to them. And I always listened to them, contained other things, which might be wrong now. This winter vocation I went home. I found that they had many wrong conceptions. So I think that if I was as clever as now when I was young, maybe our family would be a good family. But when I think about the development of our society, my parents and grandparents did a good job already. So I regret a little that I love them not so much. And sometimes I quarreled with them. I should talk to them, right? That is to be a good daughter and granddaughter. Their thought may not catch up with the society. So it’s necessary to us to tell them the right or advanced thing.
Women’s reputation is higher and higher. It is quite different now. Men become good husbands who always listen to their wives. Maybe we must make this situation fairer. Two persons must respect each other, and then life will be better. My parents quarreled in winter vocation. It was a small thing. I don’t know why they quarreled. It seems that if you think more highly of another, you will have more words to say.
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇九
Tess of the D Urbervilles is the masterpiece of Thomas Hardy, a famous British writer. The whole novel is set in the countryside and describes the tragic experience of a country girls life throughout. The subtitle of the novel says that the mistress Tess is a pure woman, which is a kind of advanced thought and the authors criticism and dissatisfaction to the Victorian era at that time.
The so-called Victorian era was the period of Britains industrial Revolution. In the Victorian era, the society advocated moral cultivation and modesty and politeness, and it was also a period of rapid development of scientific civilization. Many plots in the novel mentioned that there were priests preaching on the street, which also reflected these points. But because of this ethos of moral cultivation and modesty, many nouveau riche imitated the habits of aristocrats in order to elevate their status and enter the upper class. Yalei is one of them, his family is also a nouveau riche. It is because of not receiving the correct moral cultivation and polite education, it led to the rape of Tess and a series of tragedies such as forcing Tess to cohabit with him.
"Tess of the D Urbervilles" is written under the force of the society at that time, a pure, simple, hard-working rural girl Tess to degenerate. Tess in the pen of Thomas Hardy is an epitome of a woman who was just, pure, hard-working and yearning for a better future in the society at that time. She is full of love and trust to others. In the article, Tess was raped by Yaley and then did not hesitate to choose to leave Yaley back home, reflecting her inner innocence, she does not want to force herself to live with a person they hate very much together for a lifetime, her kind of pursuit of a better life in the future. Tess learned that he had been pregnant after returning home, not only did not transfer the hatred of Ya Lei to the child, but regardless of the blame of family and friends, without hesitation gave birth to the child and take care of him, but finally the child died. This reflects that Tess is very loving, her soul is noble, her morality is noble, but she was rejected by the society, was denied by the society at that time, considered that she is a immoral, sinful woman. On the surface, what the author wrote here was the tragic situation that Tess was criticized by the society instead of being sympathized with as a weak-witted and a victim. But in fact, what the author really wanted to reflect was a criticism of the hypocritical moral standards and ugly customs of the society at that time. The author Thomas Hardy criticized not only the hypocritical moral standards of the society at that time, but also the feudal traditional moral and ethical standards of the bourgeoisie represented by Clay, and Tess was the victim of such social customs at that time. Author Thomas Hardy reveals the malpractice and despicable side of this kind of social custom through Tesss tragic experience, and fully reveals its cruel and bloody side. Tess is the tragedy of society.
I think Tesss life is full of drama. The whole novel is about the tragic experience of Tesss ending, but there are often some seemingly accidental plots that seem to be predestined fate. For example, before Tess was violated, she quarreled with the maid of Yaleis house after the end of the dance, and Tess met Clay at the beginning but did not know each other, then met clay again and fell in love with each other and got married. They are full of dramatic colors, which can better reflect the authors real feelings and real social background customs and social bad habits, as well as a perfect interpretation of the description of Tesss tragic experience and the result of the novel. The whole novel is based on the main line of all the tragic events that happened after Tesss father learned that he was the descendant of a famous local warrior and asked Tess to go to her relatives, which better reflects that the cause of Tesss tragedy is not only social factors, but also the cause of her own personality error.
Still, Tess of the D Urbervilles is a very meaningful novel, and one from which many important things are learned.
关于苔丝英文读后感 篇十
Among the books I read, there is one that I like best. The heroine in this book is very beautiful, and the hero is very gentle and considerate. However, Man 2 is a very tactful person. This book is Tess of the DUrbervilles, written by Hardy of England.
This book mainly tells that Tesss father heard that he was a descendant of an ancient noble, so he asked his daughter to go to a rich old woman who claimed to be a descendant of Debor. When Tess got there, she was seduced by Alec, the old womans son. Tess fell in love with Angel while working in the dairy. When he confessed his past misfortunes to his husband, Angel did not forgive him, but left her to Brazil for development. Tesss family is in a dilemma. Her husband has no news. In despair, she has to live with Alec. Angel returned home to find his wife. But Tess felt that she had no face to return to her husbands arms, so she had to kill Alec. After five happy days with her husband, Tess was arrested.
When Tess was still a little girl who didnt know anything, Alec destroyed her lifes happiness, but Alec said he did so because he loved Tess. Is this also the way of love? His method can only find the blame, hatred, shame and abuse of the world, and will never be recognized and blessed by the world. What about Tess? She has only hatred for Alec, and absolutely has no trace of love, care, let alone pity. Angel is a gentle and considerate man. He will not cheat Tesss love with rhetoric, nor will he get Tess in that dirty way. He melted Tesss heart bit by bit with his perseverance and love, and moved Tess with his actions day by day to finally win her heart. This is the comparison of two peoples qualities, behaviors and results. Tess was blinded by the hatred for Alec, and finally killed Alec under the combination of hatred for Alec and love for Angel. He was arrested after spending five days of happiness, happiness and romance with his husband Angel. In prison, she thought about her life so sad that she could not face it, so she had to commit suicide
Tess died with regret and blessing to her husband Angel. He made a choice between love and hate, but also paid the price and lost happiness.
