Tess of the D 'Urbervilles is one of the representative works of Thomas Hardy, a famous English novelist and poet. More than a hundred years later, Tess, the heroine, has already stood in the world literature gallery, not only because people have surpassed traditional virtues, but also because of the humanity and great courage in the heroine's soul, making her one of the most touching female images. Hardy interprets the tragic fate of Tess as an image of western tragedy: Tess is a pure, beautiful and hardworking rural girl who yearns for the truth, goodness and beauty of life, but she is always hit by falsehood and evil. Tess's tragedy began when she went to a distant relative's house to work for her family's livelihood, but Alec lost her virginity because of her youth and ignorance, and she became a "degenerate" woman, criticized by public opinion and regarded as an immoral sinner. Tess later fell in love with young Clay and was abandoned by her husband on their wedding night because of her honest and tainted past and missed the immediate happiness. Out of a high sense of family responsibility and self-sacrifice, Tess once again became Alec's mistress against his will in exchange for the survival of the family. Finally, because of her husband's change of heart, desperate Tess became furious, lifted sword of vengeance, and finally became a murderer. Finally, she had to pay the price of her life, which led to the complete destruction of Tess, who was as sensitive as gossamer and as white as snow. All these sad experiences are carefully planned and designed by ruthless fate. The master of the universe who arranges the world, through the huge net of fate, mercilessly covers the good people in the moral sense of human relations in a dilemma.
