she was seduced by a so-called gentleman—alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. people looked down on her and respected her no more. actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. she was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.

she was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. in order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. maybe god didn’t agree with that, because the lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—angel chare. angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. she said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win tess. somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. soon after their wedding angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for tess’s forgiveness. tess was not at all angry and forgave angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.

she sat and told everything to angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. she was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. the woman pays.

without angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. the result wasn’t important now. tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. why? she still loved angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for her forgiveness, after he regretted what he had done unfair to tess, she was desperate. that was too late—alec had always told tess that angel would never come back so he won tess’s trust. unluckily angel did come back and found tess.！ everything was too late!

tess was deceived and she lost angel for the second time! the strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed alec, everything really changed! she became a criminal! how could it be? she was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the bible. her whole character was honest and faithful. angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not onlyon what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!tessdidn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defendherself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! angel also didthe wrong thing and it was even more serious than tess’s crime buthe was not blamed for it.

why it is always the woman who pays? whythey are always hurt? why was tess’s girlish purity lost? why doesthe wrong man take the wrong woman? why do the bad often ruin thegood? why is beauty damaged by ugliness? women are too weak!thousands of years of history have shown us that women have alwaysbeen treated unfairly!inold china there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as humanbeings. if you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, hewould probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some eldersisters.

if you asked why then he would say, “ha, they are notincluded!”peoplegave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep thefamily name going. they thought girls had no use for the family.they would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home andbe their wives some day sooner or later. so they were extremelyhard on girls.girlsshould be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuousand the most important thing was she must be a maiden! if herhusband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl,a good wife no matter how she thought. if she wasn’t, then shewould gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go nearher. what about men? people did not care whether he was anexperienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. theythought man equals power and power equals rights…nowlet’s not be so bitter. nowadays women’s situations have becomemuch better. some are because of the change of society and some arebecause of civilization. just let those poor painful women liketess be just a memory.

this is a dolorous book.

this is a story of love.

the word “woman” doesn’t means “puny”!

苔丝英文读后感篇3

the woman pays

tess is really a tragic figure in the book tess of the d’urberwilles.

she sat and told everything to angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. she was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. the woman pays.

tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than tess’s crime but he was not blamed for it. why it is always the woman who pays? why they are always hurt? why was tess’s girlish purity lost? why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? why do the bad often ruin the good? why is beauty damaged by ugliness? women are too weak! thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!

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.

苔丝英文读后感篇4

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.

苔丝英文读后感篇5

?德伯家的苔丝》中的苔丝是勇敢的`，在男权时代，敢于谈论自尊，但面对现实，她无法逃脱命运的道德枷锁，这是一个纯洁女人的悲剧。以下内容是德伯家的苔丝读后感，供各位参考。

?德伯家的苔丝》是一本很好看的小说，它的作者是英国的著名作家哈代。看过之后，这部作品会给我们留下深刻的印象。

面对父亲沉浸与过去的辉煌家族中，面对兄弟姐妹期盼的目光，面对家中唯一的老马死在自己手中的场景，苔丝违背自己不想嫁给富人的原则，开始了她不愿意过的生活，走上了一条足以毁灭她人生的道路。

纯洁的苔丝像一个无助的小鹿，受到了邪恶的亚雷的侵害，她得到的是人们的冷嘲热讽，承受着别人的鄙视和侮辱。但是，她无时无刻不在渴望着爱情，所以，在安其尔的爱情攻势下，苔丝总是不敢承认自己的过去，这意味着，她在一点一点地靠近她的悲剧。

当时的英国正处于一个充满变化和动荡的时期。苔丝出生在一个农村家庭，作为一个生活在社会底层的劳动者，虽然她美丽、善良、聪明，但是在生活的压力下，她看起来还是那么的渺小。

“思想开明”的克莱尔与苔丝之间的感情脆弱不堪，他用根深蒂固的传统贞操观念来看待一个女人是否贞洁，不把苔丝的无辜放在眼里，亲手将她推入了绝望的境地。当时社会的道德偏见，让苔丝再一次成为资产阶级伦理道德的牺牲品。

从一开始，苔丝的美就不是张扬的，她有一双清澈泛天真的眼睛，却总是流露出坚定、淡漠的神情。苔丝是勇敢的，在男权时代，敢于谈论自尊，在行刑场上的最后一刻，她的冷静吓退了所有的人，但面对现实，她无法逃脱命运的道德枷锁，这是一个纯洁女人的悲剧。

苔丝英文读后感篇6

苔丝，这个会让人心口发疼的名字已经深深刻在文学的里程碑上，她美丽、善良、纯朴、勤劳、容忍，但是在这出命运的悲剧里，她的坚强和自尊最为夺目。在男权中心的社会里，她是弱者;在资本主义社会里，她是底层;在不可控制的命运中，她成了玩偶。

为了穷困的家庭，苔丝放下自尊，去富有的"本家"德伯家帮工，却没料到这正是她厄运的开端，那位自以为是的花花公子亚雷毁了她的一生。在那个分外注重道德的时代，失贞的女子背负的压力是现代人所不能理解的，跨不过自己心里的坎，还得忍受旁人的指点和唾弃。亚雷是苔丝命运悲剧的直接导火线，美丽的弱女子沦为富家少爷的附属品，这反映了当时社会可悲的现实，等级和财富的差异却让这扭曲的现实成了理所当然。作为底层的劳动者，她必须要忍受残酷的剥削和压迫，这不仅仅是苔丝个人的悲剧，更是当时社会的整个农民阶级的悲剧，在繁华的维多利亚时代，资本主义侵袭到农村并毒化了社会气氛。之后孩子的夭折又给苔丝多添了一笔伤痛，如花的年纪，就尝过了如此的苦涩和难堪，这种悲惨的境况，是命运的无端捉弄，还是这个社会的逼迫?

经历了那么多坎坷，远离家园来到牧场，找到新工作的苔丝以为生活开始慢慢眷顾她了，这里有着唱歌跳舞的少女，白色的长裙，五颜六色的鲜花，没有了"拿含着恶意的眼光看她"的人，一切都是崭新的，牧师的儿子——安玑与她相恋了，甚至决定与她结婚，她是那么快乐，对未来也有了期待，她的希望和日光一样耀眼，驱散了往常的`阴霾。但是未知的命运就是擅长捉弄人，它热衷于把人捧上天堂，然后再给予重重的一击。

安玑似乎是一个不错的男子，他是知识分子，受过现代哲学思想的教育，把求知的自由看得比物质重要，有着先进独立的思想，同时也是一名宗教的反叛者，蔑视社会的习俗礼法，他对苔丝又是如此深情。但是剥去面纱，他却成为苔丝悲剧人生的重要原因，因为他虽然有着新思想但是却无法谅解心爱的人的过去，想要冲破旧秩序旧观念，却把自己陷在伪道德的泥潭里。当苔丝这个善良的女子，坦白自己的过往和不堪时，他没有选择包容而是开始叱骂和逃避，在他不断地徘徊走动的时候，他的软弱和虚伪就彻底暴露了，不留情面地斥责苔丝是一个不懂事的乡下女人，可见安玑骨子里还是习俗成见的奴隶。在恶棍面前，苔丝可以直接反抗，但是面对伪善的君子，她却盲目地敞开了心扉，最后心底最柔软的地方被深深刺伤，鲜血淋漓，最终也无法复原。

苔丝英文读后感篇7

why was tess’s girlish purity lost? why did such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as tess should suffer inevitable ruin? why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? why it is always the woman who pays? why they are always hurt? why is beauty damaged by ugliness? why the tragedy is happened more than one hundred years ago repeated in modern times? is everything too late?

recently i’ve read the british famous writer thomas hardy’s masterpiece-tess of the d’urbervilles. it describes the misfortune of a poor peasant girl tess. in this novel, we can see tess resist her unjust fate again and again, till to be ruined. with the development of the plot we find that her tragedy is inevitable. we can not but feel the intense emotions of pity and fear.

the cause of tess’s tragedy has always been the concern of people, such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as tess should suffer inevitable ruin. what leads to her tragic destiny? who killed her? i can’t do very well in analysis the novel. i don’t know clearly how the time she lived in affect her life. i do have an understanding of the novel by myself. alec and angel who are the two people very closely related to tess’s fate. i think fierce alec played a very important role in killing tess, but in fact, it was hypocritical angel who killed tess indirectly but more cruelly.

i wanted to cry, tess, do not follow him when i read that plot. i hope she met her true love before she was seduced, but everything was too late. she was seduced by a so called gentleman-alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. people looked down on her and respect her no more. actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of man. women were too weak. tess was poor, weak and helpless and met the wrong person at the wrong time.

i strongly believed that it was angel who killed tess cruelly and without mercy. angel was a liberal bourgeoisie. he made himself lived in the countryside rather than serving the god. angel was a man who questioned the church’s teaching. he thought the church’s views were too strict and did not allow free thinking. angel extricated him from religion and his family, but he couldn’t break with traditional moral principles. he wanted a wife who was the daughter of nature, honest, sensitive, intelligent, graceful, pure as snow and extremely beautiful. in the first part i thought angel loved tess very much. in the following part i found that he loved an image he imagined. after their wedding angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked tess’s forgiveness. tess was not at all angry and forgave angel at once. she innocently thought that the thing she was going to confess would be forgiven. poor tess! she sat and told everything to angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven, but she was wrong. the woman pays.

angel claimed that you were one person, now you are another when tess asked why. the woman angel had loved was not tess, was another woman in tess’s shape. angel loved the person he imagined. he considered tess the daughter of nature. compared to tess’s words, “ i thought angel, that you loved me-me my very self! if you do love me, how can you treat me like this? it frightened me! having begun to love you, i will love you forever, in all changes, in all troubles, because you are yourself. i ask no more.” we know how deep tess loved angel. she would have laid down life for angel. she not only loved the merits but also accept the demerits. we know from the book that when angel came back from brazil, he could hardly be recognized by his mother because the cruel climate and hard work had aged him by twenty years, but tess accepted angel immediately, because he was the man she fell in love with.

i don’t know why angel couldn’t forgive tess since he himself had done the similar thing.

苔丝英文读后感篇8

in tess of the d’urbervilles, hardy molded a pure, kindhearted image and rather an image brave enough to rebel, to shoulder the responsibility of her action. her unfortuneness was the tragedy of the society, her character and fate. it vividly revealed the persecution towards people after industrial revolution made by the conception of capitalism and traditional moral. following are some of my opinions about the causes to her death.

her character and parentage was part of the cause

in the author’s ideal world, tess was the embodiment of beauty and the incarnation of love .she represents all the merits of the villagers in her hometown: beautiful, pure, kind, simple, charitable and tolerant. to love ,she had no egocentric thoughts and didn’t plan to meet her vain wish by marriage .she standed by he dignity and pursue freedom .hardy made the poor, helpless ,humble country girl as the heroin.despite she committed adultery and murder, hardy still claim she was a “pure girl”. this fully showed the author’s sympathy towards tess. hardy elaborately modeled the image of tess and indignantly describes the depression confronted with tess through her short life.

tess is a young woman who tends to find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. she is a victim, but she is also, at times, irresponsible. she falls asleep while taking the beehives to market, which ends up killing the family horse, prince she decides to visit the d’urbervilles in trantridge, giving rise to all her future woes, partly out of the guilt and responsibility she feels toward her family. she wants to make good, but in trying to help her family she loses sight of her own safety and her own wants and wishes. she becomes alec’s victim in the forest. she probably should have known not to put herself in such a situation, but she has few other options. here, it seems as though she is destined to rely on others, even when they are unreliable.

tess is also a strong woman throughout the novel. she stands up for herself and refuses to crumble under pressure. she chastises herself for her weakness after her sexual escapade with alec. if we agree with her claim that this indiscretion is a moment of weakness, we probably also feel that such weakness is not unlike that of most human beings. she is hard on herself for letting herself become a victim. at the burial of her child, sorrow , she weeps but collects herself and moves on as a stronger woman. overall, her determined attempts to escape her past primarily reflect her strength.

her parentage to some extent leaded to her final tragedy. born in a poor family, with an ignorant vain, drunkard father who did not care too much about the
