5、mid of 19th century's tragedy from the severals tragedy comes from society,the in dividual cultureof capitalism intruded into the rural area in England. The society before dis in tegrated quickly and in dividual farmers were immersed in un employme nt and poor con diti on in economy.At that time

6、 , the development of the capitalism affected every aspect of people' s life , but the development was not complete.（秦水，25）In the mean while, the feudalism did n't collapse completely. This con diti on affects new gen erati on. The capitalism gives them new thoughts and glimmer of hope, but

7、the feudalism makes them n ot cast off the old morality. So in their mi nd, thereare two kinds of thought-new and old. They are filled with tendency to adva nee and compromise. This causes Tess's love tragedy and life tragedy. Because Tess and An gel bel ong to the newgen erati on. In this no ve

8、l , An gel is gen tle and cultivated but he is aga inst the religi on and the traditi onal morality. He violates parents' wish and goes to study agricultural tech no logy in the coun tryside in order to service people better. His thought is adva need. But he can't cast off the old conception

9、 , at the crucial point , he stands at the side of the traditionalmorality. At the wedding night he thinks of thedignity of the bourgeoisie and the old morality after Tess tells her past to him. To Tess's death , he is resp on sible. Social moral rule gives Tess a hit and An gel pushes Tess towa

10、rds the abyss. So the society causes Tess's tragedy of love.（侯艷鈴，論苔絲悲劇的根源）Society also causes Tess's tragedyof life. While the capital society develops quickly， thefarmers' life is beco ming much poorer. They have no job and suffer from starvation.They don't think that this kind of l

11、ifeis taken by the society. Thus they only know how to find a way to escape from this kind of life. So they becomemore miserable and suffer from ban kruptcy and poverty. Tess is a farmer's daughter. So she also can't escape from the life. Due to the hardship of life ， she asks Alec for help.

12、 This brings Tess the first unfortune. Then after her retur ning from An gel， due tothe life and father's death， Tess is forced to live with Alecagain. So Tess is pushed towards the abyss twice. Although she lives a rich life , she has no hope of life. The second yieldanee makes Tess be in an im

13、passe. So she is forced to kill Alec,then she is sentenced to death. Thus the society causes Tess's tragedy of life. In her whole life Tess is always in suffering. Her love and life are tragic. So her tragedy of love and life causes Tess's whole life is full of tragedy.（張世君，112-113）2. 2Reas

14、on from her pers on alityTess' s tragedy is in relation to her personality.Tess isa brand- new woman s model whom Hardy sculptured. She has double personality.The first aspect is that she dares to resistthe traditi onalmorality and hypocriticalreligi on.The sec ondaspect is that she can' t s

15、hake off the fetters of traditional morality completely. The factor of the personalitythat causesTess' s traged y is her honesty that nature endures her. Just the personality causes her tragedy of love and tragedy of life.First Tess resists the traditi onal morality and has much new and advaneed

16、 thought. So Tess insists on the family name of mediocre "D'Urberfield" and isn't willing to surname the no ble "D'Urberville". Whe n An gel asks her to sur name "D'Urberville" in order to promote her social status, Tessrefuses absolutely. These show Tes

17、s's sin cere ness and the high moral character that she disda ins the con cepti on of pedigree and is proud of labor. She treats her love with this thought.She accepts An gel's love after thi nking about much. She wants a happy life , but she must tell An gel her past before. However, after

18、heari ng Tess , An gel casts her off because of the traditionalmorality. Tess thinks that all is attributed to herfault because she thinks that she disobeys the traditi on and loses her virginity.So Tess leaves the farm and goes back homewith pain. She suffers from huge torment in her mind. From the

19、thi ng , it is clear that Tess and An gel are the victims of the traditionalmorality. They want to escape from the morality butthey can't do that. So this causes that the two pers ons can't get together fin ally. So this causes Tess's tragedy of love.This kind of pers on ality also cause

20、s Tess's tragedy of life.Because Tess belongs to the newgeneration.She is advaneed andpure owi ng to the in flue nce of the capitalism. In the mea nwhile, she compromises with the old morality. Thus her pers on ality decides that she must depe nd on others in life. Although she does n't want

21、 others to help her, Tess must gain others' helpto preserve her life. So she goes to Alec and asks for help.There Tess yields to him. The n her tragedy starts. She is seduced by Alec and has an illegitimate child. Then she leaves Alec and goes to a farm. There she experie nces her love, butthe e

22、nding is bad because of her past. She is abandoned. After that , she goes back again. Owing to the hardship of life , she can't shake off the poverty at all. Tess yields to Alec again. Because she thinks that Alec is her real husband on body, that is to say, she is An gel's wife nomin ally.

23、But the pers on whom she really loves is An gel. Thus she lives a rich life with nohope. It is miserable for Tess to have such life. Therefore,her pers on ality causes her tragedy of life.In her life , Tess experiences a double hurt-loveand life.Both of them bring Tess en dless pain. This is not eno

24、 ugh. At the end of the story , Tess does n't give up her resista nce. In order to be with her lover , she kills Alec. This brings Tess and her lover several days'happ in ess at the cost of her life.At last , she is arrested and hanged. The last resistance adds the degree of the tragedy. Alt

25、hough she compromises with her fate , she still has a hope of changing the all.So her doublepers on ality causes that her whole life is tragic.2.3 Reas on from Hardy.Tess' s tragedy is not only the social tragedy , character tragedy , but a lso the fate tragedy. Tess ' s fate tragedy origina

26、tes from Hardy ' s fate conception. This shows the limitations of Hardy ' s world view of pessimism and social concept. Hardy lives in the period when the capitalism develops quickly and the feudalism dis in tegra tes. Hardy' s pessimism is the result of times. At that time the Great Bri

27、tain started to decline , monopoly capital took place of free competitionandput Britain into the abyss of crisis. So Hardy' s crisisconsciousness is also the result of times. To be a realistic author , Hardy can duplicate vivid and realistic picture. To be a thinker , Hardy doesn ' t know th

28、e law of the social developme nt. He thi nks realistic crisis and in evitable con flict are the mysterious uni verse will that can' t beforecasted. Hardy doesn' t believe that bourgrisie preach the eternal quality of capitalism.Andhe doesn' t believe religionand traditi onal morality can

29、 con ceal the realistic con flict and crisis. In front of the uni verse ' s power , he thinks that huma n is paltry. He is con trolled by fate. So the un dersta nding of capital crisis causes pessimism and fatalism in his thought.The main characters who are affected by Hardy ' s thought in H

30、ardy' s novel always encounter the fortuitous misfortune when they are in happ in ess. Tess was born in a poor family with seve n people. This decides her bitter fate. As the elderest one, Tess helps her mother do some work and affords heavy burde n of the family. She goes to Alec and wants to c

31、ha nge the situati on by her work. But she can ' t shake off the fa te , because she is the farmer ' s daughter. Then Tess leaves Alec and goes to a farm. There she meets An gel. She loves him. But she can' t accept his love because she thinks that she is not innocent. So she isdeterm in

32、ed to con trol her emoti on , refuses An gel' s proposal , but fate and love let her accept An gel at last. Maybe she will master a happy life and live with her lover. But fate makes fun of her. Shethinks that if they are couple they should tell their past to each other. So Tess tells An gel her

33、 experie nee. After hearing that , Tess is abandoned by her husband. This unfortune settles a basis of love tragedy. Because after that , Tess meets An gel aga in but everyth ing cha nges. Alec breaks their love and makes them not be a couple. Due to the fate conception, Tesskills Alec. This causes

34、Tess ' s love tragedy straightly.In the mean while , Hardy experie nces the huge cha nge of the society , and sees people suffer from poverty and bankruptcy. So in his novels , the characters are almost the farmers or the poor peo ple in that time. It ' s not likely for them to have a happy

35、and rich life. This no vel is not also excepti on al. Tess was born in a farmer ' s family. So this decides her fate that she will have a poor life and she will also experie nee frustratio n and difficulty. Thus the fate con cepti on decides Tess' s tragedy of life.From analyzing Hardy'

36、s thought , it is clear that a series of necessity comes from Hardy' s thought ' s crystallizationand the developing track of his pessimistic fatalism. This is not only limita tion of author ' s thought but also the art method by which author exposes and criticizes the social dark ness.From the above,in indicates that Tess' s character is relatedto Hardy ' s pessimistic fatalism. And this fatalism causesTess' s tragedy. So this fac tor is the most important one of the reas ons.3.C on clusi onTess is the image of the poor and pitiful farmer
