It is also the most popular female image for readers. Hardy believes that the historic changes in the period of social transformation are not progress, but disappointment and regret. Especially for women who are closely related to nature, the industrial revolution and modern lifestyle have led them to gradually break away from nature. Based on eco-feminist literary theory and eco-feminist principles, this paper reveals the tragic roots of Tess in Hardy's novel Tess of the D 'Urbervilles from two aspects: the relationship between men and women and the relationship between man and nature. By analyzing the root of Tess's tragedy with the theory of eco-feminism, readers will initially grasp the intersection of various social ideas brought about by human beings' further control of women by conquering nature at the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The destruction of nature by human society and the control of men over women are a unified whole. Revealing the root of Tess's tragedy can not only warn readers that the progress of human civilization is at the expense of destroying nature, but also make people realize the importance of protecting the natural environment and living in harmony with nature.
