[GRADE="808080 DC143C 000000 FF1493 808080"]Tess of the d'Urbervilles[/GRADE]


Author : Thomas Hardy

Country : United Kingdom

Language : English

Genre : Tragedy

Publication date : 1891



I love this novel so much ..

I love to call the main character "my Tess "

because her character means so much to me ^.^

I remember that I spent two days suffering from depression


I really don't like to read tragedies cause I end up feeling depressed

^.^


[GRADE="C0C0C0 DC143C 000000 FF1493 C0C0C0"]The Author[/GRADE]





Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), English poet and novelist, famous for his

depictions of the imaginary county "Wessex" . Hardy's work reflected his

stoical pessimism and sense of tragedy in human life.



I didn't like this author except for this novel

He likes to to describe every single thing

that surrounds the characters

this makes me feel so anxious before he gets to the main point

hmph

It's just a tiny winy point of view

^.^

Tess's father , a lazy drunk who suddenly knows that he is

from a noble family and starts to act as an aristocratic

-^^ loser - My point of view

I have less regard for that father

because he's the one who sent her to Alec's family

where her pain and agony begins

THE POOR PEDDLER JOHN DURBEYFIELD is stunned to learn that he is the

descendent of an ancient noble family, the d’Urbervilles. Meanwhile, Tess,

his eldest daughter, joins the other village girls in the May Day dance, where

Tess briefly exchanges glances with a young man. Mr. Durbeyfield and his

wife decide to send Tess to the d’Urberville mansion, where they hope Mrs.

d’Urberville will make Tess’s fortune. In reality, Mrs. d’Urberville is no relation

to Tess at all: her husband, the merchant Simon Stokes, simply changed his

name to d’Urberville after he retired. But Tess does not know this fact, and

when the lascivious Alec d’Urberville, Mrs. d’Urberville’s son, procures Tess

a job tending fowls on the d’Urberville estate, Tess has no choice but to

accept, since she blames herself for an accident involving the family’s horse,

its only means of income.

Tess spends several months at this job, resisting Alec’s attempts to seduce

her. Finally, Alec takes advantage of her in the woods one night after a fair.

Tess knows she does not love Alec. She returns home to her family

WoW

Nice words you've written here

thanx so much dear

as for me Dear I didn't like Hardy as a poet , he didn't produced hid best as in Novels...

The novel is interesting when you consider

the characters

( Tess , Angle , Alec and Tess three friends ^.^ )

and the plot except for the man Thomas Hardy


I feel that he's a boring person in real life

I don't know why

And after this leading introduction
you encouraged me to read more about
Tess of the d'Urbervilles

Tess's cahracter is the best thing that boring man have
ever described



the scene where she is milking the cow

was splendid

It really showed her purity


have fun reading it dear

What can I say Dearest....Your topic made my day....I love such ones

Yours

I love those kinds of topics

I love discussing characters

I also love rereading the books I like many times

when ever I read them again it feels different

and grasp more and more about the characters



and thank you for dropping by

Your post dear made my day too

thanx again

Mona
