苔丝英文读后感 篇1

She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.

She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.

She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.

Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!

Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not onlyon what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!Tessdidn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defendherself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also didthe wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime butHE was not blamed for it.

Why it is always the woman who pays? Whythey are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why doesthe wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin thegood? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak!Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have alwaysbeen treated unfairly!Inold China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as humanbeings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, hewould probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some eldersisters.

If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are notincluded!”Peoplegave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep thefamily name going. They thought girls had no use for the family.They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home andbe their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremelyhard on girls.Girlsshould be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuousand the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If herhusband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl,a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then shewould gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go nearher. What about men? People did not care whether he was anexperienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. Theythought man equals power and power equals rights…Nowlet’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have becomemuch better. Some are because of the change of society and some arebecause of civilization. Just let those poor painful women likeTESS be just a memory.

苔丝英文读后感 篇2

Tess of the D Urbervilles is the masterpiece of Thomas Hardy, a famous British writer. The whole novel is set in the countryside and describes the tragic experience of a country girls life throughout. The subtitle of the novel says that the mistress Tess is a pure woman, which is a kind of advanced thought and the authors criticism and dissatisfaction to the Victorian era at that time.

The so-called Victorian era was the period of Britains industrial Revolution. In the Victorian era, the society advocated moral cultivation and modesty and politeness, and it was also a period of rapid development of scientific civilization. Many plots in the novel mentioned that there were priests preaching on the street, which also reflected these points. But because of this ethos of moral cultivation and modesty, many nouveau riche imitated the habits of aristocrats in order to elevate their status and enter the upper class. Yalei is one of them, his family is also a nouveau riche. It is because of not receiving the correct moral cultivation and polite education, it led to the rape of Tess and a series of tragedies such as forcing Tess to cohabit with him.

"Tess of the D Urbervilles" is written under the force of the society at that time, a pure, simple, hard-working rural girl Tess to degenerate. Tess in the pen of Thomas Hardy is an epitome of a woman who was just, pure, hard-working and yearning for a better future in the society at that time. She is full of love and trust to others. In the article, Tess was raped by Yaley and then did not hesitate to choose to leave Yaley back home, reflecting her inner innocence, she does not want to force herself to live with a person they hate very much together for a lifetime, her kind of pursuit of a better life in the future. Tess learned that he had been pregnant after returning home, not only did not transfer the hatred of Ya Lei to the child, but regardless of the blame of family and friends, without hesitation gave birth to the child and take care of him, but finally the child died. This reflects that Tess is very loving, her soul is noble, her morality is noble, but she was rejected by the society, was denied by the society at that time, considered that she is a immoral, sinful woman. On the surface, what the author wrote here was the tragic situation that Tess was criticized by the society instead of being sympathized with as a weak-witted and a victim. But in fact, what the author really wanted to reflect was a criticism of the hypocritical moral standards and ugly customs of the society at that time. The author Thomas Hardy criticized not only the hypocritical moral standards of the society at that time, but also the feudal traditional moral and ethical standards of the bourgeoisie represented by Clay, and Tess was the victim of such social customs at that time. Author Thomas Hardy reveals the malpractice and despicable side of this kind of social custom through Tesss tragic experience, and fully reveals its cruel and bloody side. Tess is the tragedy of society.

I think Tesss life is full of drama. The whole novel is about the tragic experience of Tesss ending, but there are often some seemingly accidental plots that seem to be predestined fate. For example, before Tess was violated, she quarreled with the maid of Yaleis house after the end of the dance, and Tess met Clay at the beginning but did not know each other, then met clay again and fell in love with each other and got married. They are full of dramatic colors, which can better reflect the authors real feelings and real social background customs and social bad habits, as well as a perfect interpretation of the description of Tesss tragic experience and the result of the novel. The whole novel is based on the main line of all the tragic events that happened after Tesss father learned that he was the descendant of a famous local warrior and asked Tess to go to her relatives, which better reflects that the cause of Tesss tragedy is not only social factors, but also the cause of her own personality error.

Still, Tess of the D Urbervilles is a very meaningful novel, and one from which many important things are learned.

苔丝英文读后感 篇3

I think Tess must be a kind-hearted girl.

She endured so much pain, but she never complained about others. When she was young, she missed her best love. Then fate began to play jokes with her. A so-called gentleman cheated her and took away the most important thing of an un-married girl. No matter Tess was regretted or not, people around her, contained the church, all of them thought that she was a bad girl. She couldn’t get married. She couldn’t stay home to wait for her parents’ order to get married. She ran away and met her best love. Since she thought that she wasn’t innocence, she stood her deep love of Angel, and put the opportunities to other girls, those who can never compared to her.

At last, she got married to Angel, but the fact of her history made her husband angry and bad-tempered. She tried her best to make her husband happy, but he didn’t care what she had done, how sad she was. Until Angel found that he loved Tess very much, Tess had come back to the disgusted man. True love was a power. Tess killed the man, ran away with Angel, lived in others’ house, and be caught by the police. Although Tess would be in prison and be killed, she wouldn’t regret at last. After all, Angel really loved her at last.

Everybody will day dream sometimes. But we won’t care it any time. Tess’s father was a dreamer. We must think about ourselves. When somebody tells us a thing which is far away from our daily life, we must think about it carefully and investigate the fact. We are not fools. If what they say, what you believe, our world will become a mixture. We all know that we are just citizens of China, and students of Kashgar Teachers’ collage. Life is life. How can we fall into a hole of imagination? This imagination led Tess to death. That was the result.

In the old times of China, people also had a conception of innocence of girls. But did they think about men? Yeah, at that time, men were the host of world. Women just needed to give birth to babies, teach them, and do housework to their husband. That was a duty. Even though at present, we don’t have a judge on men either. We also meet problems on finding jobs. Because those companies think that our women are terrible. We can’t do many things but men can, we will give birth to babies but men don’t, every month we have several days of mental problems but men don’t. That’s unfair. We do so much, so it is right to give more opportunities to us.

At the ball, Tess missed her love. Nowadays, we need to be brave. And when the opportunity is coming, we must catch it in time. If we lose, we can hardly meet it again. The chance is given to the people who get the ready to. So we should prepare and chance will find us. And we need to learn refusing. If Tess refused to made friends with Alec, maybe she could avoid this disaster. In present times, many children know the relationship between women and men earlier. And also many of them don’t know. Actually, our society need to teach them in order to know what will happen or what they should do to protect themselves. Although most parents think that this is a bad thing beyond virtue, but it tends to the young to learn that.

We need forgiveness. We can see that Tess lived in a religion place, but those people didn’t get the thought of kind-hearted and forgiveness. As we are students who have the relief on Marxism, we have learned to be kind-hearted, but how about them? So we should be an atheism. We learn science, not ghosts.

After Tess went to the farm, she met her love again. She was afraid, was under pressure, and was shy on her first feeling of love. Why should we have a crime feeling after making a mistake? Just correct our mistakes, we are good persons too. Of course, we can not make mistakes if we know they are wrong.

We can not avoid problems either. Tess daren’t to tell Angel the truth. When Angel knew that, he couldn’t accept at once. In our daily life, we can meet many difficulties. And we may make mistakes. At that time, we must think highly of it and face it but not to avoid. Fact will come out unless you don’t do it. Most of us can not accept our relatives’ or friends’ betray. So face it earlier, maybe we can get forgiveness earlier.

Another important thing was that Tess’s family had many children. The poor environment made her have to approach to Alec. Should the poor do like this? There are many poor men in our country, but they find jobs for themselves, although the job is very hard to do. They make their own money and endure pains.

I just think of my family. I am the only child of my parents. They love me very much. And most of my life, they had a correct way to teach me. And I have grandparents. When I was young, four of them taught me to do housework. They said that I would be a good girl if I listened to them. And I always listened to them, contained other things, which might be wrong now. This winter vocation I went home. I found that they had many wrong conceptions. So I think that if I was as clever as now when I was young, maybe our family would be a good family. But when I think about the development of our society, my parents and grandparents did a good job already. So I regret a little that I love them not so much. And sometimes I quarreled with them. I should talk to them, right? That is to be a good daughter and granddaughter. Their thought may not catch up with the society. So it’s necessary to us to tell them the right or advanced thing.

Women’s reputation is higher and higher. It is quite different now. Men become good husbands who always listen to their wives. Maybe we must make this situation fairer. Two persons must respect each other, and then life will be better. My parents quarreled in winter vocation. It was a small thing. I don’t know why they quarreled. It seems that if you think more highly of another, you will have more words to say.

苔丝英文读后感 篇4

Tess is a tragic character, who should be responsible for this tragedy? Im afraid many readers will assume that the villain, The young Master Yarek, is the culprit. As far as I am concerned, the cause of the tragedy is Yarek, but the end of the tragedy is Tesss nominal husband Clare. Yarek just stripped Tess of her chastity, and opened the prelude of the tragedy from the body; Clare abandoned Tess on their wedding night, spiritually leading to the development of the tragedy, and finally to the end of the tragedy. If Clare did not abandon Tess, did not wear that layer of false moral veil, there would not be the development and outcome of this tragedy.

The plot of the story is not complicated: the simple and beautiful countryside old niang Tess came to the noble d Urberville house as a maid, was the villain of the young master Yarek tricked into pregnancy, so by the neighborhood laugh and blame, began to fall into the abyss of pain. Later Tess met Clare from a rich pastor family, the two people really love each other. The night of the wedding Tess will be their past tragic experience to tell Clare, did not think of the return is the ruthless departure of Clare. Tess suffered unimaginable hardships, but no forgiveness or any news from Clare. Forced by the rough life, Tess in despair fell into the hands of Yarek again. Since then wake up Clare to find Tess, Tess regret. In order to live with the heart of love Clare, Tess killed the destruction of their life yarek. A few days later Tess was arrested, sentenced to be hanged for murder, Clare is in accordance with Tesss will, with her sister Lisa to start a new life.

In the novel, Hardy created a kind and beautiful girl Tess with vivid strokes and sincere emotions: As if "a pure and fresh daughter of nature"， "she showed a dignified dignity in both disposition and aspect, like a queen"， "her whole body was full of poetry, her every move was poetry, and she brought to life what the poet had written only on paper"。 Although Tess is a woman who lost her virginity, and even eventually became a murderer, the author still boldly rejected the concept of secular, praising her as "a pure woman"， "far more than other virgins of freshness"。
