At the end of the book, Fortune's wheel bereaves the last thing she had—her life.

We must have the ability to feed ourselves, so that we can win the independent of personality and life. And so that we can have a pure au pair love.
The word “woman” doesn’t means “puny”!
苔丝英文读后感 篇2
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.
德伯家的苔丝读后感英文版 篇3
In the afternoon, I finished Reading Tess of the D 'Urbervilles. Thomas Hardy used to be such a controversial figure, but I don't want to comment on the merits of this book. I just want to say something very briefly about his woman, Tess.
See "infatuation woman" and "enemy road narrow" feel very sad, very depressed, tears in the eyes, finally tears down, also read, although the end, but really see the time still feel very uncomfortable, very sad. So many words came to mind, and I could only describe Tess in one phrase -- innocent beauty. She was a beautiful country girl, simple in spite of her noble blood. Beauty was not a matter of appearance, but of inner elegance and purity. Pure and natural, she is the daughter of nature. Her purity is like the blue sky, although occasionally covered by clouds, but when the clouds are gone, the purest and transparent sky in the world is still the blue sky.
I always thought that if it had not been for the first few words of the priest, perhaps poor Tess would have a different life. However, the tragedy of the 16-year-old country girl Tess began there. Tess's stupid father suddenly understand that he is a big noble descendants, in calculating how to enjoy the life of the nobility forced Tess to go to kiss, the result of the innocent Tess met the man who destroyed his life - Ya Lei. He was the eternal enemy of Tess's fate. Robbed Tess of all her dreams, and the potential to pursue them, and robbed Her of the pure longing of youth. However, we that innocent girl, is still so pure, so simple to let a person cherish the woman.
Tess, determined to start a new life, went to work at the dairy, hundreds of miles away, and there she met the second man she should have met, at least so I thought, the man she really loved, but who I still thought betrayed her love, in an act which I can only describe as hypocritical. If there is no Clay, Tess's whole body is sad into plain, but clay's appearance is in the back of the tragedy painted with more thick and heavy color darkness. In fact, I believe that Clay loved Tess, or he would not have shown his feelings in his sleepwalking, but he was still bound by morality, unable to understand all this sudden.
It was because of Tess's characteristic purity that Clay fell in love with her and proposed to her. Tess herself was suffocated by the surging tide of love for Clay. He hurt that innocent girl with his love, gave her hope of happiness, and then killed it all. And she tortured herself with all her love. Tess through the pain of the heart, decided to understand The feelings of Clay. However, when Tess confessed her injured past to her lover, the so-called lover hesitated, and clay finally chose to leave because of his lack of understanding and unfirmness of feelings.
Tess was heartbroken, when she helped her wound carefully show the loved one in front of the moment, she expected to understand, is to forgive, but the cruel lover in the weak Tess's wound sprinkled a handful of salt. He was not a single-minded man, and perhaps we have seen his deep attachment to Tess, but when her distortion went against the religion he apparently despised, he chose to retreat without any room, and so liberally.
Tess in the future to a person to deal with the life, but also to hide the truth of the facts to parents, loaded with very happy appearance, and from only a little living expenses to send money to parents, Clare's departure, Tess is engaged in the dirtiest and most tired work, suffering from physical and psychological hardships. And where was the man who said he loved her? But she always remembered that her husband would forgive her one day. I can only say that she was really naive.
Tess likes Clay, and regards clay as the whole source of his survival, and can even say that he is her life-saving straw, so all her thoughts are in such a character, and how powerless to deal with the real feelings, beauty and noble blood, perhaps is a trophy, but not a weapon. Maybe our Tess, she was just too naive.
Tess see back to the Clay pain to seize the door and go, Tess is also sad, unable to restrain their inner hatred, picked up the knife, she has been humiliated and hardships vent in the knife head, stabbed to the man who destroyed her life. And ran down the dark road in pursuit of her angel.。.
Although Tess and Clay finally spent five days of perfect time, but, for love revenge Tess end is still tragic. Everything is calm, Tess in the last part of her life with her love for the last time to experience the real honeymoon, that is her last stop in life, her final day of liberation. Her heartbroken, with dreams and regret to the end of life, in the last, is the longest, happy night.。.。.。 At the last sunrise of her life, she took her regrets about life and love to another wonderful world.
I just don't understand how a nice innocent girl could end up like this. What's wrong with her? Pretty? Naive? Self-esteem? Perhaps your innocence, kindness and sincerity are the source of your beauty as well as your sorrow.

德伯家的苔丝读后感英文版 篇5
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 girl's 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 author's criticism and dissatisfaction to the Victorian era at that time.
The so-called Victorian era was the period of Britain's 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 Tess's tragic experience, and fully reveals its cruel and bloody side. Tess is the tragedy of society.
I think Tess's life is full of drama. The whole novel is about the tragic experience of Tess's 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 Yalei's 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 author's real feelings and real social background customs and social bad habits, as well as a perfect interpretation of the description of Tess's 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 Tess's 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 Tess's 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.
德伯家的'苔丝读后感英文版 篇6
Tess is a tragic character, who should be responsible for this tragedy? I'm 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 Tess's 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 Tess's 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"。
德伯家的苔丝读后感英文版 篇7
This is a book of grievous mood. A beautiful young girl’s life was destroyed gradually and really---not by her energy, but by the people who said love to her. What kind of this love is? What make the love destroy its lover? Tess could be a happy girl though her family was very poor. But “noble, status, and money” were strongly in her father’s mind, just because of the discovery that a parson said to him. Without their horse’s carrying load, life became rather difficult. Tess blamed herself completely, and she wondered what she could help her parents. Then Tess obeyed her mother’s idea, to work at the d’Urberville’s home, and met her cousin, Alec d’Urbervilles. This then was the beginning. Tess had to meet the wrong man, and one who was so strongly attracted to her. Yet to the right man, she was only a half-forgotten impression from an evening’s dancing party in a country field. This mistake was to have tragic results. Alec used his clever brain to help Tess’s parents, and this made Tess feel grateful to him. Because of her slackening vigilance, Alec’s intention came true ---Tess would be maiden no more. As the people of her village said, “It was to be.” And from now on, Tess’s life was to be completely different. Tess left Alec’s home, returned her village. But all had changed, Tess wouldn’t be happy, people in village wouldn’t see her as before. After her baby’s death, she had to leave her home, went to a far place. Perhaps at that time we should thank Alec, thank baby’s death, or Tess wouldn’t leave her home and met Angel Clare, her right man in the dairy. Tess was a so lovely girl that Angel was soon crazy for her. At last, they conquered many difficulties and got married. But Tess’s experience was still her mortal wound, Angel couldn’t accept the truth and left her. The story came to its turning point again. When Angel realized his mistake and went back to look for Tess, all was too late, the poor girl again dropped into Alec’s trap. With the intertwine of love and hatred, Tess had to end herself with a tragic results. God played with Tess so much. When her right man appeared, God yet didn’t give her happiness. Tess’s parents loved her, but it was just an instinctive love; Alec said love to her, but it was a evil love; Angel said love to her as well, but it was a immature and selfish love. He wanted Tess to forgive him, but he couldn’t forgive Tess. Tess didn’t make any mistakes, but at last, she born all punishments and sufferings. At first, God had let the two persons miss each other. A tragedy was doomed. But perhaps no love, no hatred, no dignity, death was the best way for Tess to extricate herself. We have nothing to do but watching world changing, destroying Tess, then continuing changing. The tragedy recurs every day in fact. I can’t help asking, have we missed our happiness?
