I defended the same topic the day before yesterday. It's simple. As long as you write your own paper and know enough about the content, it is absolutely no problem.

The teacher's question to me is:

1 Hardy has many tragic novels. Why Tess?

Many reasons led to Tess's tragedy. What do you think is the most important thing?

If Tess is strong-willed, do you think she will avoid her own tragedy?

My answer: 1 Praise Tess as his best tragic work, which can perfectly express his tragic color, and there are many viewpoints that can be extended to help complete the paper.

Mainly the persecution of women in Victorian society.

Or the Victorian era is inevitable, maybe for a while, but it will not be inevitable in the end.

The teacher will also ask you what are the biggest challenges and limitations in completing your thesis. You can say that it is the collection and application of paper materials. Just organize your own language. Generally, things that don't bother you will pass.
