苔丝英文读后感 篇1
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.

苔丝英文读后感 篇3
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 onlyon what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!Tessdidn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defendherself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also didthe wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime butHE was not blamed for it.
Why it is always the woman who pays? Whythey are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why doesthe wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin thegood? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak!Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have alwaysbeen treated unfairly!Inold China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as humanbeings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, hewould probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some eldersisters.
If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are notincluded!”Peoplegave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep thefamily name going. They thought girls had no use for the family.They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home andbe their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremelyhard on girls.Girlsshould be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuousand the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If herhusband 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 shewould gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go nearher. What about men? People did not care whether he was anexperienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. Theythought man equals power and power equals rights…Nowlet’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have becomemuch better. Some are because of the change of society and some arebecause of civilization. Just let those poor painful women likeTESS be just a memory.
苔丝英文读后感 篇4
"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.。.
