Tess's Thoughts on Middle School Students' Reading

Tess's thoughts on middle school students 1 Tess is known as the treasure of English literature and world literature. It was published at the end of19th century. The author is a great British critical realism writer, "a melancholy image standing on the border between Victorian era and new era"-Thomas. Hardy.

Tess tells the story of a pure, simple, honest, hardworking, smart and beautiful rural girl who was cornered by society and was finally sentenced to hang for murder. This is a tragedy, which mercilessly criticizes the social reality and exposes the decadence of British upper class from one side, which has important practical significance.

Tess is an ordinary rural girl, but as a woman, she has a charming appearance. Beautiful face and just right figure. Hardy described this character in a colorful way, that is, she paid attention to her external image. This image is young and beautiful, naive and lively. What impressed me most was her sexy lips and the curves on her lips. Pink and delicate lips, like flowers, coupled with detailed and clear, smart and soft lines, are quiet and difficult to look around. It is such a beautiful and pure girl, but her kind and pure nature is deceived by Alec, a vicious and selfish young aristocrat in the upper class, and she can't get rid of Alec's shadow and walk into the dark abyss. Unable to get rid of this tragic fate, she can only resist the oppression imposed on herself in an extremely distorted way. But what's the use of this resistance? It is just a spray in the sea, which will disappear in an instant and be forgotten. It is absolutely impossible to shake the whole cruel society. Therefore, it is simply not feasible to rely on personal resistance. This is also the sorrow of human nature and even society.

When she finally escaped from Alec's clutches, she went to work on the farm and met her future lover, Claire. Claire appreciates Tess's innocence and loveliness. She often communicates at work and her feelings continue to heat up. Finally, she fell in love and got married without hesitation. Just when happiness was coming, Tess was so sorry for the past that they fell from the sky of happiness to the bottom of reality. Claire couldn't accept this fact and left Tess, left her hometown and left poor Tess mercilessly. It is such a poor creature who is teased by fate and wants to live a happy life with the person she loves. Even such a simple and ordinary wish can't be realized. Finally, she was cornered and in a state of anxiety. Coupled with Alec's harassment, she was desperate and had completely lost hope in life. She killed Alec who insulted her and kept her suffering. After killing Alec, Tess did not regret it, but suddenly relaxed, because death was a relief for her, and she was finally free. She died to prove her loyalty to love and to complete her pure and beautiful love with Claire without any regrets. Alec also regretted abandoning Tess and came back with great sadness and guilt, and spent the last five days of his life with Tess who was about to be executed. But he lost someone who loved her deeply, someone who regarded him as a part of his life, and someone who could die for him. But it is too late to regret. Because of his selfishness and so-called hypocritical moral constraints, Tess is in a miserable situation. For Tess, Claire is her hope and the source of all her happiness. She was glad to know him, but Claire eliminated her last hope. Even if Clare later asked Tess for forgiveness, it would not help to think of her after her death. It can be said that Claire indirectly contributed to Tess's death, but it is this society that directly contributed to her death, which is a social tragedy. In fact, there are many poor people like Tess in society. Although they are humble, as independent personalities, they should not be abandoned by social discrimination, but should provide them with a platform to talk. So there won't be so many tragedies.

If the beauty of Carmen lies in wildness and rebellion, and the beauty of Jane Eyre lies in stubbornness and tenacity, then the beauty of Tess must lie in purity and nature. She is the daughter of nature. Her purity is like the blue sky, although it is occasionally covered by dark clouds, when the dark clouds disperse, the purest and most transparent thing in the world is still the blue sky. Although the heroine's position in the novel is low, she is insulted by shameless people, and finally she goes astray through hardships, but we still praise Tess's spirit of not giving in to fate, daring to fight against unfair fate and contributing to love. Her simple and kind image will remain in my heart forever.

Reflections on Tess's Middle School Students 2 During the Three Kingdoms period, a scholar named Fan Qin of Wei said in his notes with Wei Wendi, "Eulogize the wonders of the Northern Emperor and play Huma's long thoughts, feeling sad and stubborn." It refers to the sadness of singing, which makes stupid people and smart people equally moved. This is the feeling after reading Hardy's Tess.

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 of people's transcendence of traditional virtues, but also because of the great courage of the heroine's humanity and soul, making her one of the most touching female images. Hardy interprets the western tragedy with the tragic fate of Tess, the heroine of the novel, as "sad and stubborn".

Tess is a pure, beautiful and hardworking country girl. She yearns for the 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.

Tess is a modern woman idealized by Hardy. In Hardy's ideal world, Tess is the symbol of beauty and the embodiment of love, representing all the excellent aspects of Wessex people: beauty, purity, kindness, simplicity, kindness and tolerance. Tess's soul is pure and her morality is noble, but in the face of bourgeois morality, she is regarded as a typical example of immoral behavior, an example of warning evil, and an "evil incarnation" that infringes on the innocent field. Leaving Tess, the woman who suffered, lost her virginity and killed people, reminded me of them and two things I like: dawn and camellia. Dawn is like a virgin's skin, smooth and delicate, and when it is unclear, it shows hope and light; There is a kind of camellia called "Xueta", which is white, plump and delicate as porcelain. In the cold season, it is proudly in full bloom, beautiful as water, and fragrant alone when it comes out of the dust. Maybe they have nothing in common, but I think they have one thing in common, that is purity. It is precisely because of this that Tess's story is even more bleak.

Why does Tess have the ability to be "sad and stubborn"? Tess's "sadness" has both social factors and her personality factors.

There is no doubt that Tess's "mourning" is first of all "social mourning". Hardy's "Wessex" novel is set in his hometown of Wessex. /kloc-in the middle of 0/9th century, British capitalist industrial civilization invaded the countryside. Faced with the consequences of industrial civilization, Hardy, as a humanist, suffered a strong ideological impact, became deeply attached to the ancient patriarchal civilization, and hated that industrial civilization destroyed people's harmonious living conditions. In Tess of the D 'Urbervilles, Hardy describes the influence of industrial civilization on the countryside at that time in a panoramic way, and then takes Tess's family as the epitome of individual farmers, profoundly showing people's painful struggle in material difficulties. Social tragedy is caused by the conflict between man and social environment. Tess lived in the Victorian era when British capitalism invaded the countryside and poisoned the social atmosphere. Although smart, beautiful, hardworking and kind, this weak woman is poor, financially strapped and burdened. Her social status is low. As a laborer, an agricultural laborer who has no right or money, she will naturally be oppressed and insulted by capitalist society. These oppression and insults are economic, powerful, physical, spiritual, religious, moral and traditional. Her "sadness" is caused by the times. At the same time, Alec and Clay represented two different objective social forces that pushed Tess into the abyss, which directly led to Tess's social tragedy.

The second reason why Tess feels sad and stubborn is that she is the victim of violence, evil forces and the laws and state machines that safeguard them. This kind of violence, the concentrated representative of the evil forces is Alec D 'Urberville.

Tess grew up in a green and picturesque country. Although her family life was difficult, Tess was bright and cheerful in her girlhood. She loves life, dares to face all difficulties and sacrifices herself to maintain her family. Tess was a victim of power and violence all her life. Alec dares to dominate the four fields, do evil and do whatever he wants, not only because he is rich and powerful, but also because he is protected by bourgeois state machines and laws. Both society and law believe that those who insult and persecute Tess are justified, while the persecuted Tess is guilty. Tess has to endure all her life, endure dirt and can't defend herself. When she stood up to defend herself for the first time in her life, "'typical' proved that Aeschylus said that the teasing of Tess by the gods was over. Tess became a sacrifice on the altar of bourgeois countries. Tess's tragic experience and social injustice to Tess show the inhumanity and hypocrisy of bourgeois law.

Tess's "mourning" is based on the premise of social mourning, and at the same time on the basis of personality mourning. The reasons for her "mourning" are both objective and subjective, that is to say, both external and internal.

After discussing the social factors of Tess's "sadness", we should also point out that it caused her pain and, unfortunately, her self. Tess is brave. She dares to challenge traditional morality and pursue happiness. However, she can't completely get rid of the fetters of traditional morality, which shows her weak character.

She "arranged her body and voice without sympathy according to the trite and boring customs" and threatened herself with "a group of moral elves who scared herself for no reason". Even in the middle of nature, "I always regard myself as the embodiment of evil and invade innocent territory". The result of this wait-and-see will inevitably cause her inner self-torture and condemnation, making her suffering, misfortune and pain more heavy and intense. This "guilty soul" made her feel guilty and remorse. Even if she was ruthlessly abandoned by Clay, she thought it was her own sin and silently endured the fate. Therefore, while being persecuted by secular public opinion and traditional morality, she is also subject to its moral standards and mercilessly blames herself; While boldly resisting traditional morality, she became a defender of tradition because of its concept. Therefore, Tess's tragic aesthetic characteristics belong to the personality mourning under the premise of social mourning. So her "mourning" is even more profound and touching.

Alec has a saying in Tess: "Beauty comes at a price." Tess exchanged beauty for people's infinite "sadness", whether stupid or smart, she would be hurt by Tess's "sad beauty".

Tess, a name that will make people feel sad, has been deeply imprinted on the milestone of literature. She is beautiful, kind, simple, hardworking and tolerant, but in this tragedy of fate, her strength and self-esteem are the most striking. In a patriarchal society, she is weak; In capitalist society, she is the bottom; In an uncontrollable fate, she became a doll.

For a poor family, Tess put down her self-esteem to help the rich "own" the D 'Urbervilles, but she didn't expect that this was the beginning of her bad luck, and Alec, a self-righteous playboy, ruined her life. In that era of paying special attention to morality, the pressure on women who have lost their virginity is beyond modern people's understanding. They can't cross their inner barriers and have to endure the guidance and spit of others. Alec is the direct trigger of Tess's fate tragedy, and the beautiful weak woman becomes the accessory of the rich young master, which reflects the sad reality of the society at that time, but the difference in rank and wealth makes this distorted reality a matter of course. As a laborer at the bottom, she had to endure cruel exploitation and oppression, which was not only a personal tragedy of Tess, but also a tragedy of the whole peasant class at that time. In the prosperous Victorian era, capitalism invaded the countryside and poisoned the social atmosphere. After that, the death of the child added another pain to Tess. In her sixties, she tasted such bitterness and embarrassment. Is this tragic situation an unprovoked trick of fate or a persecution of this society?

After so many ups and downs, Tess, who came to a ranch far from home to find a new job, thought that life was beginning to care for her. Girls are singing and dancing, wearing long white dresses and colorful flowers. Without those who look at her viciously, everything is brand new. The priest's son Angie fell in love with her and even decided to marry her. She is very happy and has a bright future. But the unknown fate is good at playing tricks on people. It is keen to take people to heaven and then give them a heavy blow.

Angie seems to be a good person. He is an intellectual, educated in modern philosophy, attaches more importance to the freedom of knowledge than material, has advanced and independent thoughts, and is also a religious rebel who despises social customs. He is so affectionate to Tess. However, lifting the veil has become an important reason for Tess's tragic life, because although he has new ideas, he can't understand the past of his beloved. He wants to break the old concept of order, but he has trapped himself in the quagmire of pseudo-morality. When the kind Tess confessed her past and sufferings, she didn't choose to be tolerant, but began to scold and escape. When he kept wandering, his weakness and hypocrisy were exposed, and she was mercilessly scolded as an ignorant country woman, which showed that Angie was still a slave to stereotypes at heart. Tess can resist the villain directly, but she opens her heart blindly in the face of a hypocritical gentleman. At last, the softest part of her heart is deeply stabbed and bloodied, which is irreparable.

There is no doubt that Tess has once again become a victim of fate. Angie, who left her for a long time, put her life in a desperate situation and completely shattered her hopes. Helpless, she returned to Alec, who changed from evil to good, and became a caged bird. If everything goes on like this, her life may not be the worst, but fate's claws are itching again and she wants to play tricks on people again. After the personnel changes, Angie understood Tess's difficulties and saw her feelings clearly, so she came back. But as a classic line in Half-Life says, "Nothing can go back". After Tess coldly rejected the person she loved, her inner suffering reached the extreme, and the ridicule of fate completely defeated her. Finally, she personally killed Alec, the chief culprit who led her life to a tragic track and all the way to darkness. This is her most touching moment, but also the most distressed moment. A cowardly person, for so many years, has eaten up the hardships of life and fallen into despair again and again. Now she finally stood up for her unfairness and finally got back a fair for herself. But what makes people feel distressed is that fate drove her to a desperate situation, and she completely destroyed herself while retaliating for her success.

Tess and Angie's escape didn't last long, and the miserable life always had an end, near or far. In the wasteland, Tess, who woke up at first, was finally free. She doesn't have to bear the cruel trick of fate. Perhaps that short sleep was the most comfortable time in her life, without psychological burden and moral bondage, a flesh-and-blood person, a fresh person. Tess's beauty came to an abrupt end after she tried her best. Her strength and self-esteem are the pillars of her life. After her extravagance, she lost her attachment.

Tess is a great tragedy of fate. Tragedy is destroying good things for people to see. Tess's true kindness collapsed under the blow of falsehood and evil. This is the inevitable trend of fate and the result of social oppression. Hardy fully embodies his pessimistic fatalism through his outstanding description of scenery, psychological description and structural arrangement. The whole novel is a tragic landscape in which a better life is broken step by step.

Tess is like a pure epiphyllum, clean and transparent, and fate has brewed the darkest night, in which she resolutely blooms and irretrievably fades. I'm sorry, I can't keep that kind of beauty after all. Tess, a touching and plump woman, is deeply imprinted in my heart. Every time I taste it, I feel tingling and admiration.

Middle School Students' Reflections on Tess 4 Tess has been published for more than one hundred years, and it was once severely criticized by the bourgeoisie. However, the attack failed to hide his glory. Nowadays, Tess, as a shocking masterpiece of tragedy, has become a bright pearl in the treasure house of world literature.

Tess, a kind and beautiful peasant girl, was unfortunately defiled by Alec, a young landlord, and returned home pregnant. After the child died, he met Angie Claire and they fell in love. On their wedding night, Tess confessed to Claire out of loyalty. But not allowed by her husband, Claire immediately left her wife and went to Brazil alone. Later, when her father died, her mother became seriously ill, her sister-in-law dropped out of school, and the family was reduced to the streets. Since there was no news of Claire, Tess had to "lay down her life to save her family" and promised to live with her enemy Alec. But Claire came back from Brazil to find Tess. Tess regretted it very much and accidentally stabbed Alec who cheated herself. He lived happily with his husband Alec for a few days during his escape, and was finally arrested and sentenced.

Tess's tragedy is a social tragedy after all. When Tess was a girl, she shouldered the burden of family life. In order to make a living, he had to wander around, be exploited and bullied. Especially when his father died, he lived in a house for generations. Because the lease period came, he had to be forced to move out by the cruel landlord, and the shape was terrible. Don't these truly describe the class oppression suffered by the poor peasants in society at that time?

As a poor woman, Tess is not only oppressed by class, but also wantonly ravaged by playboy and ruthlessly destroyed by old moral concepts.

Alec is this guy. He is frivolous, lewd and shameless. First of all, she defiled Tess with her youth and ignorance, which caused her a lifelong shadow and regret. Later, when Tess's family was desperate, she lied to Tess that Claire would not come back. This forced Tess to jump into her arms in pain and ruined Tess's happiness again. In the end, the villain died by Tess's sword, which totally deserved it.

Tess's husband Claire is a more complicated figure. On the surface, he is gentle and amiable; In fact, it has not completely got rid of traditional ideas and secular prejudice. Therefore, when Tess confessed to him, although he had an innocent history himself, he always held the traditional concept that Tess was an unclean woman.

Throughout the book, Hardy regards Claire as a positive character. It is true that Clare woke up later and gave Tess a few happy days, which shows that he and Alec are fundamentally different. But I think he feels as guilty as Alec. If Alec destroyed Tess physically, then Claire destroyed Tess mentally, leaving him in a desperate situation and finally going to extinction.

The author added a subtitle "A Pure Woman" to the novel, and also used a sentence from Shakespeare as the inscription of the book:

Pity your injured name!

My chest is your bed to rest.

These words touched me deeply. Tess, your body is not so pure, but your kind, sincere and strong soul is the cleanest and purest. You will always live in the hearts of those who love you!
