Tess(苔丝)1979经典电影英文影评

苔丝英文读后感模板After reading Tess of the d'Urbervilles, I was deeply moved by the tragic fate of the protagonist, Tess. The novel, written by Thomas Hardy, is a powerful and heartbreaking story of a young woman's struggle against the oppressive forces of society and fate.Tess, a beautiful and innocent girl, is the daughter of a poor family in rural England. She is sent to work for the wealthy d'Urberville family, where she is seduced and ultimately betrayed by Alec d'Urberville. This event sets off a chain of tragic events that ultimately lead to Tess's downfall.One of the most striking aspects of the novel is the way in which Hardy portrays the injustice and cruelty of the society in which Tess lives. Despite her purity and goodness, Tess is constantly judged and mistreated by those around her. Her tragic fate is a result of the rigid social norms and expectations that govern her life, and the novelserves as a powerful critique of the oppressive forces of Victorian society.The character of Tess herself is also incredibly compelling. She is a complex and multi-dimensional character, and her inner struggles and conflicts are portrayed with great depth and sensitivity. Tess's inner strength and resilience in the face of adversity are truly inspiring, and her tragic fate is made all the more poignant by her unwavering spirit.In addition to its powerful social commentary and compelling characters, Tess of the d'Urbervilles is also a beautifully written and evocative novel. Hardy's prose is rich and lyrical, and he paints a vivid and atmospheric portrait of rural England in the late 19th century. The novel's setting and atmosphere are integral to its impact, and Hardy's descriptions of the natural world serve to enhance the emotional depth and power of the story.Overall, Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a truly unforgettable and deeply affecting novel. Its explorationof the themes of injustice, fate, and the human spirit is both timeless and universal, and its characters and story continue to resonate with readers today. I was profoundly moved by Tess's tragic story, and I believe that this novel will stay with me for a long time to come. It is a powerful and important work of literature, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant read.。

Appreciation on the film of Tess of the D’Urbervilles班级：09级英语六班姓名：刘江学号：40904159Appreciation on the film of Tess of the D’UrbervillesWe used 190ms to watch the film of Tess of the D’Urbervilles which gave me a deep impression. Then I would show you some my opinions about this film’s theme and pilot I agree with most.Before I introduce my opinions on the film itself, the scenes, the pilots, and the actors and the actresses, maybe Ishould begin my job at the theme, the sin and the love.In the Occident outlook, there is only one thing which can help oneself atone, it is love. In this film, Alexander’s love to Tess, and the love between Tess and Angel which constitute the complex and exciting pilots. How can we criticize these loves? Can we blame Alexander’s hypocrisy to cheat Tess? And how about Angel’s deserting to Tess? If we want to get the answer, we should analyze one question that for Alexander and Angel who hurts Tess more.We should remember that when Tess lost her precious virgin that she even didn’t know men at all, which just as what she said in the film, “At that timeI didn’t know men at all!”, but Angel didn’t want to listen to her explanation at all, neither. From the film and the book, we know at the beginning of the story, Tess was just a girl. When Alexander started his so-called love to Tess, he just concentrated on one immoral and evil job with the only goal of getting virgin of Tess. Yes, we have to admit that he was successful, Alexander got the most precious thing what Tess lost, andalso we find that was the origin of all the nightmares. But what did Tess do to fight against Alexander for her profits which belonged to at the first place? Tess left to come back home to be sneezed, bullied, and laughed by the villages, to come back to give her baby birth. Tess at that time was so simple, she didn’t know men at all, she didn’t know the society in the beginning at all, but he knew it in the end, so we should not surprise that she would accept Alexander again when she and her families got into hardship. Tess just left, without crying, without compliments, because she hadn’t love Alexander at all, what she wanted to do is to forget him as soon and completely as possible. Alexander hurt Tess in the body, the physical aspect, Tess would forgot it and no one would know her painful story if they were not pleased to gossip or Tess herself to do that , but she did, and she destroy her by herself.In the dairy factory, Tess fell in love with Angel in a mature lady position.They had the true love without doubt. But Tess thought she couldn’t cheat Angel, yes, I appreciate her good personalities, but in my opinion, maybe there always be some lies and secrets to your love which would be good for yourself and also your love. Angel didn’t listen to Tess’s explanation at all, and he just wanted to join the hypocrite who had laughed at Tess. Tess loved him so much, she forgave Angel, and wanted to have her own happy life, but Angel at that time was not standard to become her love at all, I thought. Tess lost herself in the cruel society, shedidn’t know what she should do, where she should go, whom she could believe and love. Angel used his coolness and cruel words and manners to play an actual comedy, Tess was the victim.Alexander hurt Tess in body, but Angel hurt Tess in spirit which would destroy in anyway. So I think Angel hurt Tess more, and we should blame him more. But after he came back from America, he realized his foolishmanner; he confessed it and chose his true love again. So we could say Angel was the true love to Tess.The other aspects I want to say about this film is the scenes. The nature scene in the film is very beautiful, especially the plain and wildfield in Scotland countryside. The farming scenes just draw me into the reality of harvest in my hometown. As if the film is just the reflection of the reality. In the film’s end, Tess and Angel got to the Big Stone which is famous for its long history and mystery. But we also could have an idea that the director wants to tell the audiences that the love between Tess and Angel is perpetual as the Big Stone. They separate with each other, but no one could deny their true love.That is all my opinions on this film, different people may have different views, but I just want to show mine to you.09级英语六班刘江40904159。

众所周知，小说《德伯家的苔丝》的作者是托马斯•哈代。

形象生动的描写了19世纪最后十年佃户们的悲惨生活，影片《苔丝》将这一描写更加鲜活地呈现在观众的眼前，影片的整个基调是灰色的，无时无刻不在提醒观众宇宙中的任何存在物都是受一种强大力量支配的，它无处不在，而且残暴地毁灭着人们对幸福和快乐的渴求。

虽然影片中有对迷人景色和快乐生活的短暂描写，悲剧色彩一直是贯穿全篇的主基调，也决定了主人公苔丝的悲惨命运。

娜塔莎·金斯基电影——苔丝Tess（1979）--中华网--娱乐频道影片简介故事发生在英格兰南部的德瑟特。

傍晚，暮色笼罩着辽阔的田野，一群少女穿着白色的连衣裙，带着白花编成的花冠，踏着明快的乡村舞节奏，在草坪上跳舞。

她们中间有个姑娘叫苔丝，生得秀丽、端庄，周围没一个姑娘比得上她。

然而，就从这一天起，厄运一直追随着她。

她的父亲约翰·德皮菲尔德刚才听本村的牧师说，德皮菲尔德其实是古老骑士名门德伯维尔的直系子孙。

穷极潦倒的约翰听后信以为真，喜出望外，赶紧把这喜讯告诉了老婆乔安娜。

乔安娜想起了在德兰特山那边，住着一位姓德伯维尔的有钱的老太太。

于是他们决定让苔丝去认这门本家。

苔丝为了帮助家里度过苦日子，勉强答应了，但心里很忧郁。

第二天，苔丝穿着素净的长裙，挽着一只篮子走进了德伯维尔家。

她畏畏缩缩不敢前进，正待她想往回走时，一个男子的声音叫住了她："喂，漂亮的妞儿，有何贵干？"他就是老太太的儿子亚雷克·德伯维尔。

他叼着支烟，慢慢朝苔丝走来。

苔丝很窘，结结巴巴地说出了原委。

“穷亲戚”亚雷克明白了。

其实，他知道“德伯维尔”和“德皮菲尔德”是两个完全……精彩瞬间当苔丝姑娘怀抱鲜花送至安吉尔房中，发现自己表白心迹，吐露实情的信被意外的塞进地毯下而不为安吉尔所知时，脸色苍白，紧紧攥住信，对失去爱情的恐惧最终使她没有勇气再交出信。

这时摄影机在拍摄到苔丝姑娘苍白惊恐面容的一瞬间迎向太阳，整个银幕一片空白。

利用胶片的感光特性来作为电影的修辞，这才是真正电影化的，只有当电影成为自身，而不是其他任何东西的时候，电影才真正成为电影。

很多年以前，曾经看到过《苔丝》，除了对金斯基地美貌啧啧称奇以外，对隐藏在其中的凄婉故事却心不在焉。

年少的时光那么轻飘飘的飞走了，很多年以后重新再见时，金斯基地美丽依旧如昨，一点也没有被时间损害。

一时之间，那些美丽的女性一一涌上心头：嘉宝、赫本、阮玲玉，每一个都犹如女神一般放射着熠熠的光芒，在黑暗的尘世中给芸芸众生以生活的勇气。

Tess of the D' Urbervilles (德伯家的苔丝）欣赏完之后，除了各种矛盾感受我最直观的印象是：赤裸裸的悲剧色彩。

这是一部充斥着宗教色彩的名著，掌握相关文化背景会有助于理解。

第一次尝试写评注，见解还很浅薄，只有慢慢练习咯。

作者（哈代）描述的是19世纪工业革命如火如荼的英国，但是贯穿故事始末的地点却是英国的乡村小镇。

Tess身着一袭飘逸白衣出现在读者的视野中，正值五月节之际，姑娘们在舞蹈，也是这时她遇见了生命中最爱的男人（Angel）。

她为爱而生，便注定了为爱而死。

义无反顾的爱上他，而他却不能够像天使一样拯救Tess，Tess只能成为了时代，社会的替罪羊。

身为长姐，同时处在资本主义上升的封建社会，她必须承担起家庭沉重的负担。

但是纤弱的她能凭借什么去支撑维持这个几乎没有劳动力的没落家族呢？她的父亲母亲无情地让她去认亲，想要凭苔丝的美貌去获得金钱，苔丝被逼无奈踏出了这一步，可是仅仅17岁的她并不知道等待着她的是什么。

命运就像一个奇怪的圈，她果然被这个所谓的远亲，浪荡的暴发户（Alec）看上了，其实，苔丝的悲剧命运早就注定了。

17岁的她一如白色一般纯洁，可是白色的另一层寓意却是脆弱，因为白色最容易被玷污。

单纯善良的她最终被这个虚伪贪婪的“绅士”玷污了，还有了孩子。

苔丝没有把她的痛苦，她的恨，她的不幸遭遇加注在这个孩子身上，相反的尽一切努力悉心地照顾他，在他夭折的时候拼命想给他一个栖身之所，（受过教会洗礼的人才可以光明正大的下葬）孩子的爸爸甚至不知道有这个孩子的存在，但结果，我们可想而知，在这个宗教统治的社会，她是被指责被唾弃的。

在痛苦中Tess度过了几年，但始终没有办法忘记发生在自己身上的悲剧。

于是她到一个农场去劳动以摆脱身边的灰暗。

这一次，她和Angel 真正的从相识到相爱，Angel发疯似的和Tess相爱，并娶她为妻。

这一路走来，Tess的内心一直备受煎熬，也一直犹豫欲为自己的过去向Angel 忏悔，但她爱的太深，爱的太害怕失去。

可怜的苔丝，为爱而生存，因爱而毁灭。

Tess很美。

她的姣好与玲珑映衬在一身的洁白下。

她很白，白的那么纯，不可亵渎；白的那么美，无与伦比；白得那般艳，令人惊羡。

那般白，曾盛开在灿烂的日光下，奔放在原野绿丛中，舞动在庄园秋色里。

那般白，曾如此的出奇夺目、娇艳动人。

当火红的玫瑰戳伤了手，鲜血沾染了洁白，Tess的白，开始让人怜惜。

关于苔丝的评价已有许多，我却想说说哈代的女性主义情结，在他的笔下，苔丝的几个女性工友，她们都被哈代完全神圣化了。

她们也是如此美丽，她们善良勤劳，是女性的完美形象。

令我惊诧的，还有剧中反复奏响的乐曲，那淡淡的忧伤。

那乐曲多么美妙动听，让人如痴如醉，百听不厌。

《德伯家的苔丝》的插曲与故事情节如此吻合，激起了我心底万般柔情。

故事的情节不失浪漫，浪漫之余却散发着忧伤，弥漫着宿命。

情节与画面交织的天衣无缝，影音与命运的双重奏，给纯洁的Tess蒙上了宿命的色彩。

主旋律、背景音乐与掺和的曲调穿插于剧情中，诉说着淡淡的忧伤、绵绵哀怨、柔弱、孤苦与无助，预示着冥冥中的命运。

Poor Tess, she is survived because of love, and is also destroyed because of love.Tess is a very beautiful girl . Her beauty and elegance is prominented under her white appearencce and clear soul. Yes ! I want to say that she is so white and pure, and this white can not be profaned by dirt; she is verywhite, brilliant and amazing, and this white can change this world into happiness; she is pretty white, delicate and charming , and this white can even make flowers feel shy !Of course ,there are already many evaluations of Tess , so I just want to talk about the writer's feminism. Under his pen, Tess's female workers, are also very kind and warmhearted . They have the heart of sympathy to Tess , and do what they can to help Tess. They completely became holy and perfect under the writer's description. I think they are not only pretty beautiful, but also the model of feminism.To my surprise, I really like the repeated played music in this film. The music is so wonderful, and can let us feel a deep touch of sadness. Although the plots of the story is romantic, I still smell the sorrow, which controlled by fate. The plots and the pictures were seamlessly matched up , the audio and video with the fate of the duet, also painted Tess a fatalistic color. Generally speaking , the main melody, the background music and the blending melody are interspersed in this story, and run with a touch of sadness,loneliness, continuous weak and helplessness, indicates that the dark fate.。

内容摘要在英国，许多的作家以幻灭为主题，将其融入到自己的作品当中。

在这些作家中最有代表性的是托马斯〃哈代。

在19世纪的英国，托马斯〃哈代是著名的批判现实主义作家，《德伯家的苔丝》是他作品中最有影响力的一部。

在这部作品中他的对比是：人和社会环境、人和大自然、人的外貌和他的内心世界。

《德伯家的苔丝》主要讲述了一个美丽善良的少女苔丝失身后所遭遇的悲惨故事。

他认为平民的生活是悲惨的，平民人物的命运也是悲剧，而主人公苔丝的命运就是平民命运的一个小缩影。

并且在18世纪到19世纪之交，维多利亚时期是一个以男性为中心的时代，男女不平等已经成为维多利亚时期根深蒂固的社会习俗，因此，当时妇女倍受压迫和歧视。

苔丝作为一个普通人，与当时社会的抗争是无助的，她的结局会像所有一切与道德伦理相悖的事物一样，成为这个社会的牺牲品。

苔丝的悲剧是又多方因素造成的，我的论文仅通过社会环境的描写、法律制度，伦理道德和宗教, 分析出造成苔丝悲惨命运的社会因素。

苔丝的悲剧是那个社会所造成的。

The introduction of author and novel1.1 Introduction of Thomas HardyThomas Hardy was born on June 2, 1840, a village of southwestern England that was the focus of his novels. He got a love of music from his father and literature from his mother. In 1862, he went to London to work for a famous architect. During the time when he was free, he widely studied: language, literature, history, philosophy and art. At that time, he even gained two prizes for essays on architecture, but it was not his desired profession. He started to write poetry and paid more attention to poetry than novel when he was 25-year-old. But he had no chance to publish his poetry. He changed the matter to create novel. In 1871, his first long novel was published. Three years ago, the celebrated work was his fourth novel far from the Madding Crowd. He stopped construction industry and devoted to the novel creation. There were early 20 long novels in Hardy‟s life. The most famous novel is Tess of the D’Urbervilles. However his view has led considerably conflict with the moral of Victorian era. Some plots were deleted in the serial and the title of the novel is a true life of the pure woman that caused strong dissatisfaction among some people. They believe that is an affront on public moral because Tess gets the sympathetic and understanding from the author in the novel. Hardy‟s works reflected the changed of social economy, political, moral and tradition, which is the advanced thoughts in Victorian era. Especially, his novels exposed women‟s tragic life and morals, legal and religious. And his story is the people pursue a ideal life by describing the struggle, pursuit and disillusionment in his novel. Therefore, the story is full of the deep society-significance and philosophy. His works not only were the great tradition of England realism, but also were the way for 20th century British literature.1.2 Tess of the D’UrbervillesTess is a 16-year-old who is a beautiful and kind girl comes from a poor family in a village，the whole family make their living by transporting with an old horse. However the old horse was dead in a sudden accident. The poverty of the family forces her to claim help from the rich D‟Urbervilles.While visiting the D‟Urbervilles at the Slopes, Tess meets Alec D‟Urbervilles. Alec is a young master of the D‟Urbervilles and a playboy. Alec arranges for Tess to take care of his blind mother‟s poultry, and Tess moves to the Slopes. Alec seduces and rapes Tess.Tess returns home, gives birth to a son. His name is sorrow. Tess works as a field worker on nearby farms. Sorrow becomes ill and dies when he is a baby.

Before she is executed for her crime, Tess has Angel promise to marry her sister Liza Lu. Angel agrees with her. The two, Angel and Liza Lu, leave together, and the tragic tale of Tess ends.II. Background2.1Background of the novelThis story happened in the late of Britain's Victorian era，in this time, Capitalist class controlled all right, and the law were serviced for them. Farmers were at the bottle of the society. They had never equal right as the capitalist class. Tess as a woman in the Victorian era，she cannot avoided the “Hegemony” father right awareness to “woman” nature understanding. And in the man society, tradition customs made women lost their independent status.。

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. Y et 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 h ome 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 a nd 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?I realize that there is still much to be found and thought about in it. Great as Hardy is, he definitely wanted to tell readers more than a tragic story purely. Tess was the eldest daughter of her family and she had no choice but to bear the responsibility of rallying her family and repaying the debts. She was beautiful, innocent and pure without big ambition or desire for things that didn‟t belong to her. Nobody ever doubted that she deserved happiness and peace. But thi ngs seldom go on as we expected. Tess was deprived of virginity and she was no longer …pure‟ as she used to be. What‟s worse, she got pregnant as a result. Tess gave birth to the baby and decided to raise the baby all by herself. At that time, she showed her admirable qualities—being tough and decisive. We all hope that she can start a brand new life and cut off all contact with the past after her baby‟s death. However, for the second and third time, God cheated and mocked her. Sometimes I wonder why a nice woman couldn‟t end up with a nice man. Is it just like the saying that beautiful women suffer unhappy fates? Tess always missed her Mr. right and her Mr.wrongalways disturbed her life and wouldn‟t let her go. All the three person misunderstand what‟s lov e. Alec thought love to be deprival and occupation; Angel thought love to be purity and ideal; Tess thought love to be toleration and waiting. They stuck in their illusion of love of which they never managed to get out. Alec and Tess was dead. As for Angel, he might as well be dead. Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate? I believe it was Tess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of destruction. But Te ss should have led a better life if she don‟t treat herself as a satellite of men. How stupid is she to spend her life waiting for a man who betrayed her and escaped away when she was dying for help! When there is no help offered by men, women should fight on their own instead of waiting for men‟s mercy and forgiveness since there is nothing needed to be forgiven.

苔丝英语读后感Introduction:Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a classic novel written by Thomas Hardy. It tells the tragic story of Tess, a young woman from a humble background who becomes entangled in a complex web of social expectations, gender roles, and fate. As I read this novel, I was deeply moved by the intensity of the characters' emotions, the vivid descriptions of the rural landscape, and the exploration of themes such as the role of women in society, the injustice of class divisions, and the destructive power of societal norms.Main Body:1. The portrayal of Tess as a tragic heroine:Tess is a character who faces countless hardships and struggles throughout the novel. From the beginning, her life is shaped by the choices and actions of others, such as her father's insistence on claiming a noble lineage or her mother's pressure to save their destitute family. Tess's naivety and purity are strikingly contrasted with the harsh realities she encounters. Her unfortunate encounters with Alec d'Urberville and subsequent rape leave her scarred physically and emotionally. As readers, we witness Tess's steady decline from a lively and hopeful girl to a broken woman burdened with guilt.2. The exploration of social class and injustice:Hardy extensively examines the impact of social class on the lives of his characters. Thed'Urbervilles, a wealthy family, exploit their supposed lineage to gain respect and admiration from others. In contrast, the working-class rural families, represented by Tess's family, are victims of social prejudices and exploitation. Hardy exposes the unfairness of this class system, as well as the negative consequences it has on the lives of ordinary people. By showcasing how Tess is treated differently as her true social status is revealed, Hardy highlights the hypocrisy and cruelty of society.3. The role of women and gender expectations:Tess's story is a poignant critique of the rigid gender roles and societal expectations placed upon women during the Victorian era. From the beginning, Tess is objectified and exploited by the men around her. Her beauty and innocence are seen as something to be coveted and controlled. In a desperate attempt to escape her past, Tess reluctantly marries Angel Clare, who embodies the idea of an ideal husband. However, Angel's inability to accept Tess's past and forgive her actions is indicative of the hypocrisy ingrained in society's expectations of women's purity and morality. Through Tess's experiences, Hardy raises important questions about women's rights, agency, and the suffocating constraints of societal norms.4. The importance of nature and landscape:Hardy's vivid descriptions of the rural landscape in Tess of the d'Urbervilles play a significant role in enhancing the themes and emotions of the story. The natural world acts as a silent witness to the unfolding tragedies and offers solace and comfort to Tess in her darkest moments. The beauty of the landscape also serves as a stark contrast to the harsh realities of Tess's life. The juxtaposition of the idyllic natural settings with the tragic events that take place within them highlights the power and significance of nature in providing solace and relief to those who suffer.5. The tragic ending and its implications:The novel's ending is deeply tragic, leaving readers with a sense of hopelessness and injustice. Tess, who tries to escape her past and start anew, is ultimately hunted down by her past actions and faces a tragic fate. The novel's conclusion raises important questions about morality, justice, and fate. It challenges our preconceived notions of what constitutes a just and fair outcome. The tragic ending reminds us of the complexity and unpredictability of life and the often arbitrary nature of human suffering.Conclusion:Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that delves into the depths of human emotions, societal prejudices, and the destructive power of societal norms. Through the tragic story of Tess, Thomas Hardy brings to light timeless themes and issues that continue to resonate with readers today. This novel serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality, justice, and individual freedom. Tess's story is a testament to the resilience and strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity, making it a truly remarkable and unforgettable work of literature.。

苔丝英文读后感范文《苔丝》英文读后感篇一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.I don’t know why angel couldn’t forgive tess since he himself had done the similar thing.德伯家的苔丝读后感英文版篇二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 andpolite education, it led to the rape of Tess and a series of tragedies such as forcing Tess to cohabit with him.I think Tess's life is full of drama. The whole novel is about the tragic experience of Tess's ending, but there areoften some seemingly accidental plots that seem to bepredestined 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 perfectinterpretation of the description of Tess's tragic experienceand the result of the novel. The whole novel is based on themain 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三I always thought that if it had not been for the first few words of the priest, perhaps poor Tess would have a differentlife. 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 wasstill bound by morality, unable to understand all this sudden.It was because of Tess's characteristic purity that Clayfell 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 Thefeelings of Clay. However, when Tess confessed her injured pastto 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 weakTess'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, butalso 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 forgiveher 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, soall her thoughts are in such a character, and how powerless to deal with the real feelings, beauty and noble blood, perhaps isa 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.。

《苔丝》影评5篇第一篇：《苔丝》影评《苔丝》影评——假如再给我三天光明在影片的开头是一条路的空镜头。

夏日的黄昏是那么的美丽那么的丰盛，优雅欢快的的音乐渐渐走近，一群白衣飘飘的少女，如同降临人间的天使，她们的欢声笑语给这样的田园带来纯洁无忧的气息。

而里面就有少女初长成的苔丝（T ess），而Thomas Hardy用了近十分钟来描绘天真烂漫的少女们，而影片的结尾同样是一条伸展向茫茫前方又无尽头的路，天空泛着鱼肚白，周遭荒凉清冷。

已是少妇的苔丝被警察捆绑着，垂首徐行，而此时将是黎明，太阳生气的时刻，没有会想到从美丽的黄昏到静谧而凄凉的黎明、从由丰盛的夏日到枯索的冬天，这其中的曲直，其中的是非，仿佛在一天之间断送了属于苔丝的所有幸福。

怎一个“悲”字了得。

苔丝很美，她的纯洁与玲珑映衬在一身的洁白下，她很白，白的那么纯，不可亵渎；白的那么美，无与伦比；白得那般艳，令人惊羡。

那般白，曾盛开在灿烂的日光下，奔放在原野绿丛中，舞动在庄园秋色里。

那般白，曾如此的出奇夺目、娇艳动人。

当火红的玫瑰戳伤了手，鲜血沾染了洁白，Tess的白，开始让人怜惜。

影片用乐景来描绘哀情，开头的欢快的幽雅黄昏与结局令人凄凉的黎明来做对比更加鲜明的突出苔丝的命运悲惨。

在此我会想到《边城》黄昏一直在等待的翠翠，情窦初开的她忘这远方，等待他的突然出现。

黄昏来时翠翠坐在家中屋后白塔下，看天空为夕阳烘成桃花色的薄云。

十四中寨逢场，城中生意人过中寨收买山货的很多，过渡人也特别多，祖父在渡船上忙个不息。

天快夜了，别的雀子似乎都在休息了，只杜鹃叫个不息。

石头泥土为白日晒了一整天，草木为白日晒了一整天，到这时节皆放散一种热气。

空气中有泥土气味，有草木气味，且有甲虫类气味。

翠翠看着天上的红云，听着渡口飘乡生意人的杂乱声音，心中有些儿薄薄的凄凉。

黄昏照样的温柔，美丽，平静。

但一个人若体念到这个当前一切时，也就照样的在这黄昏中会有点儿薄薄的凄凉。

于是，这日子成为痛苦的东西了。

1.Tess's tragic fate of tragedy first. Tess is in a poor peasant family was born, and is in a decline of noble family, the family situation of the economic situation and irresponsible parents doomed her tragic fate; at the same time, as a beautiful but poor feminine identity, in Victorian times, gender and origin to this pure and courageously the pursuit of happiness is the only girl. But the author seems to in order to highlight the fate of the defiant, in his works always vary a great deal of incidental factors. Tess of the d'urbervilles, Hardy as a farm boy, she is melted, kind and competent young girl, who help home work and do it better than other children are not bad. At the same time, she also is a responsible person, as their eldest daughter, her little stirred up their burdens, and felt obliged to bear all this. It's a girl's life should be happy and successful, but the destiny has and she opened a great joke. Stories from her kind, responsible nature at night, she offered to alcoholism's father, but it is likewise sent honey in sleepy in accidentally collided with a van, the family's only a livelihoods tool — the "Prince" was killed, let her have a guilt. And before that his father was informed of the way home: Tess home is grandee de descendant of berghei. Pastor advice he: Cuddapah homes has fallen, not to do any unnecessary work. But in no hesitation to clearly tell him: Alex • sedbergh are fake Goldberg family. So vain windber is bent on daughter to Alex's recognition of parents, then climbed a household who, with the whole family enjoys. Noble Tess the unwilling to admit it, but because parents are ashamed to admit it, had to kiss. Results in Goldberg's tragic, began her solemn way. This misfortune happened, she was supposed to come away with me, but the ordeal before I met ideal object Angel. Two people in love at first sight, Tess also tried refused, but without success, two of them finally to the extent of the dire straits, about the marriage on the married state. Tess of the frustration, with guilt before marriage to Angel wrote a letter to repent, hoping to get Angel forgiveness, but by coincidence, the letter is plug into the carpet, Angel did not see that this started her on another major disaster: Angel leave their homes. Tess from grimmest, coupled with his father's death, the family burdens are all in her the eldest daughter who, in the confusion and frustration, she again went back to Alec. When her mistress. But just at this moment, the Angel is back, and was brought to repentance mood came back, he hopes to get the understanding of Tess has learned that his wife had made another mistress. By Tess now regret cross that all consequences are Alex is, in the resent him kill, but also not against to legal sanctions, sent to the gallows. In Tess of the body, we clearly felt the fate of people react, Tess is victim of fate or destiny; at the same time, the author also slightly exaggerated contingency in the role of people's lives, such as the old horse's death; Tess talk with Alex met became a turning point in her life; Tess on the eve of the wedding with Angel wrote his letters have had a tragic misunderstanding; Angel of repentance and return to the last, and so on. But this is also the fate of description is true, then there is an example of this community, as Lawrence said: "Hardy's feelings, his intuition and his aesthetic mastering ... Is very great and profound.2.According to Hardy said, the foundation of human tragedy is that individuals with hostile, undue conflict between living environment, some say more broadly, is mankind with ruthless conflict between nature, this conflict is sadly unable to solve. Hardy novel love story as with traditional ethics or morality in conflict with, always end in tragedy. Although the characters in the novels of love in their own scope may be mature, morality, but for their social environment, but is not mature, and immoral. Tess of the d'urbervilles after publication, has been attacked as "infidelity,infidelity, obscenity", because in the era of Victoria, the man and woman in marriage love is never equal; and the tripartite relationship and divorce, affair, extramarital relations, such as are considered to be immoral. Tess is exactly this kind of unfair to ethics and morality of the victim, her whole life is in force and violence survival, social and legal thought that those who insult and persecution, Tess is legitimate, since she cannot defend themselves. In his works, Hardy tried to Tess and Angel equal: they also in youth are "lost in sin." However, this has a bright vision, advanced civilization, thoughts, saying love Tess, a critical, but it also exposed a selfish, eyes narrow public features. Because the bourgeois morality of unwritten, men do such a thing is not considered a crime, the only woman — people slaves of patriarchal social systems. And finally, when Tess for the first time in self-defence, from the same point of view of "criminal law", "a pure woman" would become criminals. Because Tess does not belong to a class of production, from the date of her birth, her social environment is deprived of her human rights of life, and now deprived of her remaining the only thing — the fate of her life, her "mock" is completed.3.Hardy said: "tragedy. Simply speaking, can say: the performance of personal tragedy in the life of a State of things, his instinct or desire the end inevitably lead to tragic ending. ○2 Tess is Hardy in the characterization of the peak. She set human beauty, kind, intelligent, hard-working, sincere, faithful in a body, is a pure and unsullied idyllic villages. Hardy is precisely with this intense feelings to delineate Tess, she was regarded as "a pure woman", and in the prolog said: "this is a good one for the main character of Frank's character assessment. "Visible in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the hearts of more of the image. However, such an excellent, highlight women, her unfortunate is that showed her character strength of events caused her inevitable fall — her purity cause her credulity and simple: she was responsible and stirred up the important task of sending honey at night, but accidentally killed a "Prince" thereby forced to go blind, although she initially aware of Alex's dishonest attempt, but she was too naive. For Alex for her help: teaching her whistle, etc are also thankful. The night of the incident, but would like to avoid other people's "language war", he inadvertently jumped on Alex's coach, also went to sleep next to him; when she discovered Alex makes fraudulent but not determined to leave; while Alex gave father and siblings gifts are arising liabilities, all this is her pure, gave Alex to opportunity, let yourself into bad luck. A bit so gullible girl, she inevitably since loss of reputation, loss of their loved one, that is she does not understand that her beloved Angel could not as she loved him, the same selfless love for her. However, if she's not so simple, so no intentions to innocence, she does so in love with Angel, she can guess her love is ending, she will not be affected by the deep sense of guilt, not to say something about their secret, tragedy and certainly will not happen. However, she is not as Tess, also certainly does not raise our feelings of terror and pity. Tess is also a prominent character her rebellious and not always, this is her body of another outstanding flash point, is recognized as the Victorian era of one of the three rebel women, but her rebellious and not always have enough, been confined to her life's social environment. The pursuit of happiness in her life, Alex dare dare to hate, love, Angel, in part, to dare to resist the old feudal. She despised and rejected religion, but when religious constraints and a dispute arises between a natural instincts, she did not hesitate to send a question to it, she relies on her own a modest, "egg against a rock". But even though she made the greatest efforts to struggle to escape the fate, still not prevalent in women. She unwittingly set off from the religious view consider the problem, she was unable toescape the shadow of secular ideas, oppresses her sacrifices. She abides by the guidelines, in her heart of hearts is an unforgivable sin. When her baby died, although she disdains religious, but she also worried that her children will be because no baptism laid floor, the lowest hell himself sneaked to his baptism; when she was informed that the Angel had committed an error, she seems to hope, but the reaction and let the Angel she fell back to the unchanging moral track, her original feelings be Angel of civilization rolling into pieces; she has the courage to pursue romance, on Alex's unreasonable demands the courage to resist, deny, and there is no incentive to accept from, but considering the filial piety and forced to live, she again went back to him; she felt for Angel of love is defective, she was not as Angel in the gut well-regulated lifestyle, she requested the Angel took her sister to wife, because "where my strengths, her as not short, but my bad, she was not ..." she keeps the old circle brink of morality, in her constantly struggle, compromise, fall to the end of mush, we see good things is a powerful force majeure the poignant and torn。

《德伯家的苔丝》英文影评（优秀范文五篇）第一篇：《德伯家的苔丝》英文影评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.T ess blamed herself completely, and she wondered what she could help her parents.Then T ess 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‟sexperience 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 T ess.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?I realize that there is still much to be found and thought about in it.Great as Hardy is, he definitely wanted to tell readers more than a tragic story purely.Tess was the eldest daughter of her family and she had no choice but to bear the responsibility of rallying her family and repaying the debts.She was beautiful, innocent and pure without big ambition or desire for things that didn‟t belong to her.Nobody ever doubted that she deserved happiness and peace.But things seldom go on as we expected.Tess was deprived of virginity and she was no longer …pure‟ as she used to be.What‟s worse, she got pregnant as a result.Tess gave birth to the baby and decided to raise the baby all by herself.At that time, she showed her admirable qualities—being tough and decisive.We all hope that she can start a brand new life and cut off all contact with the past after her baby‟s death.However, for the second and third time, God cheated and mocked her.Sometimes I wonder why a nice woman couldn‟t end up with a nice man.Is it just like the saying that beautiful women suffer unhappy fates? Tess always missed her Mr.right and her Mr.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn‟t let her go.All the three person misunderstand what‟s love.Alec thought love to be deprival and occupation;Angel thought love to be purity and ideal;Tess thought love to be toleration and waiting.They stuck in their illusion of love of which they never managed to get out.Alec and Tess was dead.As for Angel, he might as well be dead.Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate?I believe it was Tess herself.Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of destruction.But Tess should have led a better life if she don‟t treat herself as a satellite of men.How stupid is she to spend her life waiting for a man who betrayed her and escaped away when she was dying for help!When there is no help offered by men, women should fight on their own instead of waiting for men‟s mercy and forgiveness since there is nothing needed to be forgiven.Women‟s tragedy will never come to an end until they treat themselves as totally independent, which means they can lead a normal life with or without men.jiNJIEThe novel tells a story about a pretty and good girl called Tess, who lived in a village in Marlott.To her sadness, when she was seventeen, she was no longer a pure and untouched girl.She gave birth to a baby, which didn't live long.So Tess changed from a pure gir l to a grown —up.Because she was the eldest of the 7 children in the family, she found a job to support the whole familyin a dairy.There she knew Angel and married him.But unluckily.when Angel knew her sad story, he left her and went to Brazil.Tess led a hard an d lonely life after ter when she knew Angel had retumed home and found out that she was living with the man who had given the damage to her before,Tess couldn't accept the fact and killed the man who was living with her.Then she escaped and spent together with Angel three days and nights.The police found them on the morning of the fourth day.A few days later, Tess was executed.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 t hen 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…第二篇：德伯家的苔丝英文读后感Character Analysis of Tess Tess of D' Ubervilles is the most famous novel of Thomas Hardy, the tragic end of Tess is painful and affecting.The paper supposes the tragic experience of Tessresult from her character.Her character of responsibility is the flashpoint of her tragic fortune.Her responsibility convinced herself that she is to blame for killing the horse, and her responsibility urges her ask her fake relatives for help after the horse died, as a result she is acquainted with Alec D' Uberville and seduced by him eventually.Her responsibility impels her confessing her mistake to her husband Clare before their wedding, because she believes it's unfair to Clare if she doesn't, as a result her husband leaves her into suffering.She refuses Alec's proposal when they meet again, but after her father died, her family live a hard life, her responsibility to her family forces her live together with Alec.Her character of infatuated makes her a miserable fate, and blinds her good sense.The chapter 31 narrates “to her sublime trustfulness he was all that goodness could be-knew all that a guide, philosopher, and a friend should know.”Owing to the infatuated, she is lost her own judgmen t.It's wrong that her infatuated makes her lack of equal consciousness and totally controlled by Clare, and ready to be a slave of Clare and it also put herself in an unequal position like a servant..The character of obedience of Tess also makes her sad fate.When her mother asks her seeks help to their fake relatives, although she is reluctant to do that, she yields at last.When they sit on the high-speed dogcart, Alec speaks “Let me put one little kiss on those lips, Tess, or even on that warmed cheek, and I will stop-on my honor, I will.” “But I don't want anybody to kiss me, sir!” She implored a big tear beginning to roll down her face, and the corners of her mouth trembling in her attempts not to cry.He was inexorable, and she sat still, and D'Urberville gives her the kiss of mastery.It is shown that her character of obedience gives Alec has a chance to molest her.When they miss their way in an oldwood, she believes Alec easily, accept his terms and waits for him in the wood, therefore, she was seduced by Alec.She should have left Alec as soon as possible, but her obedience leads her to a sad end.Tess is a girl as pure as the driven snow.When her mother tells her if she asks for help from their relatives, she would have the opportunity to marry a gentleman.Tess doesn't want to do that, because her pure heart despises worldly marriage.Although she was seduced by Alec and lives together with him, she is a pure girl, because she has no choices expect yield to her tragic fate.Even though she experiences a serious of hardships, she never gives up herself and works hard, and always believes her cruel-hearted husband who leaves her and preserves his reputation.It is her simplicity that causes her a bad end, but it also touches the readers, and the pure character of Tess is the beauty of the regretful end.As Jung said: “your character is your destiny.” The connection between Tess's fate and character is not occasional, her tragic end result from her第三篇：德伯家的苔丝英文读后感This is a book of grievous mood.A beautiful young g irl’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?

this made T ess 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 wasdoomed.But perhaps no love, no hatred, no dignity, deathwas 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?第四篇：德伯家的苔丝英文读后感Tess of the D’UrbervillesBrief Introduction During this term I read two books, one of which is named Tess of the d'Urbervilles.The great famous author is Thomas Hardy.He wrote the story based on his hometown, a little town in England.The book I chose was published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research and pressed in 2005.The whole book contains 294 pages.The story was very wonderful and shocking.I am introducing it to my friends.Main Contents The story is about a girl named Tess.It consists of Tess’s experiences.The story began with Tess’s father know ing about his real identity.He was the lineal representative of the ancient and knightly family of the d’Urbervilles, who deserve their descent from Sir Pagan d’Urberville,that renowned knight who came from Normandy with William the Conqueror.He was a gloat in his eyes, so at that night he drank heavily.Next day, Tess took the place of her father to send the honeycomb to the fair for money.But when they was on the way to the fair, because of her carelessness the old horse was knocked down to death.Tess felt ashamed, so she went to the d’Urbervilles to ask for help, following her mother's will.The playboy, Alec d’Urbervilles lost his heart to Tess's beautiful face and seduced her.Tess found her never fall in love with Alec, then she left Trantridge for her home.Soon a son was born, but dead.She couldn't bear people's taunts so she decided to leave home.She went to Talbot hays dairy.Angel Clare, a parson's son learned to make milk in thedairy.He fell in love with Tess and proposed marriage to her.Tess hesitated about the marriage.Although she loved him very much, she couldn't accept his love because of her immortalization.Because she loved him very much ,at last she accepted his love.Her heart ordered herself to tell Clare the reality in spite of her mother's advice.If he could forgive her, she would marry him.Before the wedding, Tess laid the letter under the Clare's door, seeing Clare's attitude.When she felt that Clare was still kind to her, she believed that she got forgiven.But when the wedding was being held;she found Clare hadn't seen the letter.She had no choice but to marry him.At the wedding night, Tess forgave his wrong things.When she told him her wrong tings, he couldn't forgive her and left her coldly.Tess met with Alec again.Alec forced her to live with him.Tess's father died.They had to leave their house, because the cottage was in Tess's father’s name.Alec helped them and made her believe that Clare never forgave her.At last, Tess got stuck in Alec's trap.Clare left Tess for Brazil and was going to buy a farm.But soon he was ill.In the end he came back in about a year.During the time, he reflected on his deeds.He realized he was cruel to her.He regretted doing the things.When he found Tess, Tess told it was too late because she had lived with Alec.Because T ess loved Clare very much, she murdered Alec to ran after Clare.They both escaped.They had five happy days in an empty house.Then T ess was arrested.Clare and Tess's little sister saw that a tall post was fixed to the prison tower, which saw that Tess was dead.The story ended.Excellent Episodes 1.Now take up the basket and tell them in the village to send a horse and carriage to me immediately.Here is a shilling for you.2.The village of Marlott lies in the beautiful vale of Blackmon.Although this valley is only four hours away fromLondon, It has not yet been discovered by tourists and artists.The best view of the vale is from the hills surrounding looks like a map spread out.it is a quiet, sheltered part of the countryside , where the fields are always green and the rivers never dry up.To south lies the great dividing line of hills.From here to coast the hills are open, the sun pours down on the huge dry fields, and the atmosphere is colorless.But here in the vale lies a completely different countryside, smaller and more delicate.3.The fields are tiny, the air makes you sleepy, and the sky is of the deepest blue.Everywhere you can see a rich greenery of grass and trees;covering smaller hills and valleys.This is the vale of Blackmoor.4.Six helpless creatures who had not asked to be born at all, much less to be part of irresponsible.5.“Did you say the stars were the worlds, Tess?” “All like ours.They seem like our apples—most of them good, a few bad.Which do we live on?” “A good one or a bad one?" “ A bad one.” When Aby realized what had happened, his face looked like an old man＇s.6.But Tess didn't cry.Her face was dry and pale.She felt she had murdered a friend.Tess lookedthe old horse as a good friend , which implied Tess＇s loneliness.7.“I do not like my children asking for help.” said he proudly, I am the head of the oldest branch of the family and a noble family like ours should not have to ask for help.8.The vale of Blackmoor was her only world, and she had never been for outside the valley.She did not know she smiled innocently at the flower that behind the cigarette smoke was the cause of future sorrow in her life.In life, the right man to love hardly ever comes at the right time for loving.Nature does not often answer a call for loving, until the caller is tired of calling Reflection After reading the story, I want to cry for Tess's sadness.I was merelyshocked by Tess’s miserable and tragic fate.She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn’t deserve.I want to murder Alec.I hated Clare because he was so narrow-minded.When Tess forgave him, he couldn't forgive Tess.It was unfair to Tess.If he forgave her ,she will not be tempted by Alec.She couldn't murder Alec and she couldn't die.They could live happily.And all the things were opposite.If he had danced with her at that night, all the bad things couldn't appear.Tess also was still innocent.Then history can not be changed.All the things that had happened in the past had happened really.We must accept them, like T ess.And I feel that I am lucky for having good parents.The story was a sad book.Tess's life was ruined gradually by the persons who said they loved her.Tess was a happy girl.Her life should be happy.But a suitable person hesitated;a wrong one expressed his love for her.When the suitable one realized Tess's innocence, it’s too late.We feel sad for him.Sometimes I wonder why a nice woman couldn’t end up with a nice man.Is it just like the saying that beautiful women suffer unhappy fates? Tess always missed her Mr.right and her Mr.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn’t let her go.All the three persons didn't know what’s true love.Alec thought love to be deprival and occupation；Angel thought love to be purity and ideal;Tess thought love to be toleration and waiting.They stuck in their illusion of love of which they never managed to get out.Alec and Tess was dead.Who is to blame for this tragedy？Ale, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate? I believe it was Tessherself.Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that pushed Tess into the abyss of destruction.How stupid she is to wait for a man who did not understand her.When there is no help from men, women shouldfight on their own instead of waiting for help from men since there is nothing needed to be forgiven.In our real life, there are many similar stories.We have nothing to do.The world functions following its rule.But I still hope that people who love each other can have a happy marriag e.Women’s tragedy will never come to an end until they treat themselves as totally independent, which means they can lead a normal life with or without men.I also hope women learn to how to live on their own.第五篇：德伯家的苔丝英文鉴赏Reaction to Tess of the D’Urberv illesIt’s the second time I have read the novel “Tess of the D’Urbervilles”.I have a great impression on this novel, and its author, Thomas Hardy.Thomas Hardy, born in 1840 in Dorsetshire and died in 1928, was an English novelist and poet.Thomas's father was a stonemason and his mother was interested in literature.Under his mother's influences, Hardy began to write at 22.In 1856, Hardy left school and then he apprenticed under a local architect.After that, he became an assistant to a British architect.In this time, he learned literature and philosophy by his own.In 1867, he returned to his hometown and started to write novels.“Tess of the D'Urbervilles” was one of the two most famous novels which were written in 1890s.“Tess of the D'Urbervilles” narrates a story about a country girl, who is innocent, beautiful, bright and plain killing a man after being driven desperate.At the beginning of the novel, Tess helps her father to deliver goods into the town by driving a cart.However, she bumps into a mail cart in the dark night.As a result, the old horse is hurt to death in this accident.So T ess gets into a big trouble.In order to atone for her crime and also to support her family, she goes to work in D'Urbervilles'.During these days, oneday Alec rapes her in woods.After losing her virginity, Tess leaves Alec and goes home.She gives birth to a child at home, but unfortunately, the child dies soon.Then, she works in a dairy factory and falls in love with Angel Clare.On their wedding night, Clare knows that Tess has lost her virginity.So, he leaves Tess to Brazil.Poor Tess goes to work in anther factory.After her father's death, the landlord takes back the house.Tess has to go back to Alec, so that her families could have a place to live.One day, Clare returns to look for Tess suddenly when he realizes his false.In great pain, Tess kills Alec with a knife.At the end, Tess is hung to death as a murder.In the novel, Tess is a modern woman idealized by Hardy.In an ideal world of Hardy, Tess is the symbol of beauty and the embodiment of love, representing the Wessex people of all good merits: beautiful, kind, pure, plain, love and tolerance.She dares to sacrifice herself with the hope to have a good life.She has a characteristic feeling of the love and trust.The women’s ge ntle and brave are melted well in her.Tess is a beautiful woman with temperament, strong will and warm feelings.She’s also upright and honesty.Instead of pursuing vanities by marriage, she chooses to pursue freedom basing on self-esteem.However, the end of Tess’s life is pathetic.I felt great sympathy for her.I wonder why this beautiful and pure girl has such a pathetic ending.But, this is Tess’s fate.I never believe fate, but I have to doubt my opinions after reading the novel.Every man who has read the novel knows that her life has always been passive.She has tried to revolt her fate only once, but has lost her pared with fate, she is too small, and the tragedy of Tess maybe caused by the age.Dark ages brought the opportunists a lot of money meanwhile it makes the kind people suffer the misfortunes.Although Tess fails in revolting her fate, she is sobrave that I want to give her my best respect.To me, she is a brave woman who wants to get rid of the bondage of fate.Tess’s death is superior to her fate, instead of yielding to it, and we need this kind of unyielding soul.But, there are also some weaknesses in Tess’s characters.Tess is bold and she dares to fight against traditional morals to pursue her happiness, but she can’t completely set herself free from traditional morals.It shows the weak side of her characters.She has been criticized by people and persecuted by the traditional morals.And it’s so pathetic that she has always been tortured by the same traditional standard.Thus, the tragic appears deeper.Considering her tragedy, I can’t help asking who is to blame for that.Besides I’ve mentioned above, I think, at least two men have to be responsible for Tess’s tragedy, Aleck and Angel.Maybe, you’ll ask why Angel doesn’t accept the cruel truth that Tess has been raped by Alec and has given birth to a child.Why Angel leaves her? Doesn’t he love Tess? Well, I’d like to say that he loves Tess so much that he can’t stand her impurity.In his eyes, Tess is beautiful and kind, and she is the symbol of puri ty.He can’t accept the cruel fact and makes his best to control his love to Tess.He thinks that the girl before him is not Tess, but a girl looks like her.In his mind, the real Tess has died.His heartlessness and abortion of Tess show his hates to the fate.As for Aleck, I don’t want to say more.The tragedy he has brought to Tess is obvious.All he has done to Tess is not out of love, because love is noble, but all he wants to get from Tess is lust.Alec is wealthy and evil.He seduces Tess, and that’s the direct cause of Tess’s tragedy.We all know that another name of this novel is “A Pure Woman”.In Hardy’s eyes, Tess is pure and brave.He shows great sympathy to Tess.At that age, men dominated the society,while women didn’t realize their rights.They are limite d by the traditional morals and religion rules.In the novel, Tess is a poor victim, but because of the culture of the society, the other women don’t show their sympathies to her.They criticize her and fabricate rumors to defame her.It’s such a tragedy that women don’t help women.As a boy, after reading the novel, I feel more sympathy for Tess.I don’t understand the thoughts of those people living in that age, but today, well, men and women are equal.。

Tess(苔丝)1979Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which Roman Polanski has turned into a lovely, lyrical, unexpectedly delicate movie, might at first seem to be the wrong project for Mr. Polanski in every way. As a new biography of the director reports, when Tess was shown at the Cannes Film Festival, the press pointed nastily and repeatedly to the coincidence of Mr. Polanski's having made a film about a young girl's seduction by an older man, while he himself faced criminal charges for a similar offense. This would certainly seem to cast a pall over the project. So would the fact that Hardy's novel is so very deeply rooted in English landscapes, geographical and sociological, while Mr. Polanski was brought up in Poland.Finally, Tess of the D'Urbervilles is so quintessentially Victorian a story that a believable version might seem well out of any contemporary director's reach. But if an elegant, plausible, affecting Tess sounds like more than might have been expected of Mr. Polanski, let's just say he has achieved the impossible. In fact, in the process of adapting his style to suit such a sweeping and vivid novel, he has achieved something very unlike his other work. Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean. In a preface to the later editions of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Mr. Hardy described the work as "an impression, not an argument." Mr. Polanski has taken a similar approach, removing the sting from both the story's morality and its melodrama. Tess Durbeyfield, the hearty country lass whose downfall begins when her father learns he had noble forebears, is sent to charm her rich D'Urberville relations. She learns that they aren't D'Urbervilles after all; instead, they have used their new money to purchase an old name.Tess charms them anyhow, so much that Alec D'Urberville, her imposter cousin, seduces and impregnates her. The seduction, like many of the film's key scenes, is presented in a manner both earthy and discreet. In this case, the action is set in a forest, where a gentle mist arises from the ground and envelops Tess just around the time when she is enveloped by Alec.Alec, as played by Leigh Lawson, is a slightly wooden character, unlike Angel Clare, Tess's later and truer lover, played with supreme radiance by Peter Firth. Long after Tess has borne and buried her illegitimate child, she finds and falls in love with this spirited soul mate. But when she marries Angel Clare and is at last ready to reveal the secret of her past, the story begins hurtling toward its final tragedy. When Tess becomes a murderer, the film offers its one distinctly Polanski-like moment—but even that scene has its fidelity to the novel. A housemaid listening at a door hears a "drip, drip, drip" sound, according to Hardy. Mr. Polanski has simply interpreted this with a typically mischievous flourish.Of all the unlikely strong points of Tess, which opens today for a weeklong engagement at the Baronet and which will reopen next year, the unlikeliest is Nastassja Kinski, who plays the title role. Miss Kinski powerfully resembles the young Ingrid Bergman, and she is altogether ravishing. But she's an odd choice for Tess: not quite vigorous enough, and maybe even too beautiful. She's an actress who can lose her magnetism and mystery if she's given a great deal to do (that was the case in an earlier film called Stay As You Are). But here, Mr. Polanski makes perfect use of her. Instead of a driving force, she becomes an echo of theland and the society around her, more passive than Hardy's Tess but linked just as unmistakably with natural forces. Miss Kinski's Tess has no inner life to speak of. But Mr. Polanski makes her surroundings so expressive that her placidity and reserve work very beautifully.Even at its nearly three-hour running time, Mr. Polanski's Tess cannot hope for anything approaching the range of the novel. But the deletions have been made wisely, and though the story loses some of its resonance it maintains its momentum. There are episodes—like one involving Tess's shabby boots and Mercy Chant, the more respectable girl who expects to marry Angel—that don't make the sense they should, and the action is fragmented at times. That's a small price to pay for the movie's essential rightness, for its congruence with the mood and manner of the novel. Mr. Polanski had to go to Normandy and rebuild Stonehenge to stage his last scene, according to this same biography. As is the case throughout his Tess, the results were worth the trouble.。

读后感栏目为大家整理了苔丝英文读后感，一起来看看吧!苔丝英文读后感【一】All about WomanWhen I read the novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles ten years ago for the first time, I was merely shocked by Tess’s miserable and tragic fate. What a lovely and kind girl! She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn’t deserve. At that time I was just a naive little girl in junior high school.Now reviewing this famous novel again, I realize that there is still much to be found and thought about in it. Great as Hardy is, he definitely wanted to tell readers more than atragic story purely.Tess was the eldest daughter of her family and she had no choice but to bear the responsibility of rallying her family and repaying the debts. She was beautiful, innocent and pure without big ambition or desire for things that didn’t belong to her. Nobody ever doubted that she deserved happiness and peace.But things seldom go on as we expected. Tess was deprived of vi rginity and she was no longer ‘pure’ as she used to be. What’s worse, she got pregnant as a result. Tess gave birth to the baby and decided to raise the baby all by herself. At that time, she showed her admirable qualities—being tough and decisive. We all hope that she can start a brand new life andcut off all contact with the past after her baby’s death. However, for the second and third time, God cheated and mocked her.Sometimes I wonder why a nice woman couldn’t end up with a nice man. Is it just like the saying that beautiful women suffer unhappy fates? Tess always missed her Mr. right and her Mr.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn’t let her go. All the three person misunderstand what’s love. Alec thought love to be deprival and occupation; Angel thought love to be purity and ideal; Tess thought love to be toleration and waiting. They stuck in their illusion of love of which they never managed to get out. Alec and Tess was dead. As for Angel, he might as well be dead.Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate?I believe it was Tess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of destruction. But Tess should have led a better life if she don’t treat herse lf as a satellite of men. How stupid is she to spend her life waiting for a man who betrayed her and escaped away when she was dying for help! When there is no help offered by men, women should fight on their own instead of waiting for men’s mercy and forg iveness since there is nothing needed to be forgiven.Women’s tragedy will never come to an end until they treat themselves as totally independent, which means they can lead a normal life with or without men.苔丝英文读后感【二】A TRAGEDY OF A WOMANShe 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 blameherself for thisaccident, 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 wouldforgive 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’timportant 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!Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and th at’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!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.。
