Reaction to Te of the D’Urbervilles

It’s the second time I have read the novel “Te of the D’Urbervilles”.I have a great impreion on this novel, and its author, Thomas Hardy.Thomas Hardy, born in 1840 in Dorsetshire and died in 1928, was an English novelist and poet.Thomas's father was a stonemason and his mother was interested in literature.Under his mother's influences, Hardy began to write at 22.In 1856, Hardy left school and then he apprenticed under a local architect.After that, he became an aistant to a British architect.In this time, he learned literature and philosophy by his own.In 1867, he returned to his hometown and started to write novels.“Te of the D'Urbervilles” was one of the two most famous novels which were written in 1890s.“Te of the D'Urbervilles” narrates a story about a country girl, who is innocent, beautiful, bright and plain killing a man after being driven desperate.At the beginning of the novel, Te helps her father to deliver goods into the town by driving a cart.However, she bumps into a mail cart in the dark night.As a result, the old horse is hurt to death in this accident.So Te gets into a big trouble.In order to atone for her crime and also to support her family, she goes to work in D'Urbervilles'.During these days, one day Alec rapes her in woods.After losing her virginity, Te leaves Alec and goes home.She gives birth to a child at home, but unfortunately, the child dies soon.Then, she works in a dairy factory and falls in love with Angel Clare.On their wedding night, Clare knows that Te has lost her virginity.So, he leaves Te to Brazil.Poor Te goes to work in anther factory.After her father's death, the landlord takes back the house.Te has to go back to Alec, so that her families could have a place to live.One day, Clare returns to look for Te suddenly when he realizes his false.In great pain, Te kills Alec with a knife.At the end, Te is hung to death as a murder.In the novel, Te is a modern woman idealized by Hardy.In an ideal world of Hardy, Te is the symbol of beauty and the embodiment of love, representing the Weex people of all good merits: beautiful, kind, pure, plain, love and tolerance.She dares to sacrifice herself with the hope to have a good life.She has a characteristic feeling of the love and trust.The women’s gentle and brave are melted well in her.Te is a beautiful woman with temperament, strong will and warm feelings.She’s also upright and honesty.Instead of pursuing vanities by marriage, she chooses to pursue freedom basing on self-esteem.However, the end of Te’s life is pathetic.I felt great sympathy for her.I wonder why this beautiful and pure girl has such a pathetic ending.But, this is Te’s fate.I never believe fate, but I have to doubt my opinions after reading the novel.Every man who has read the novel knows that her life has always been paive.She has tried to revolt her fate only once, but has lost her life.Compared with fate, she is too small, and the tragedy of Te maybe caused by the age.Dark ages brought the opportunists a lot of money meanwhile it makes the kind people suffer the misfortunes.Although Te fails in revolting her fate, she is so brave that I want to give her my best respect.To me, she is a brave woman who wants to get rid of the bondage of fate.Te’s death is superior to her fate, instead of yielding to it, and we need this kind of unyielding soul.But, there are also some weaknees in Te’s characters.Te is bold and she dares to fight against traditional morals to pursue her happine, but she can’t completely set herself free from traditional morals.It shows the weak side of her characters.She has been criticized by people and persecuted by the traditional morals.And it’s so pathetic that she has always been tortured by the same traditional standard.Thus, the tragic appears deeper.Considering her tragedy, I can’t help asking who is to blame for that.Besides I’ve mentioned above, I think, at least two men have to be responsible for Te’s tragedy, Aleck and Angel.Maybe, you’ll ask why Angel doesn’t accept the cruel truth that Te has been raped by Alec and has given birth to a child.Why Angel leaves her? Doesn’t he love Te? Well, I’d like to say that he loves Te so much that he can’t stand her impurity.In his eyes, Te is beautiful and kind, and she is the symbol of purity.He can’t accept the cruel fact and makes his best to control his love to Te.He thinks that the girl before him is not Te, but a girl looks like her.In his mind, the real Te has died.His heartlene and abortion of Te show his hates to the fate.As for Aleck, I don’t want to say more.The tragedy he has brought to Te is obvious.All he has done to Te is not out of love, because love is noble, but all he wants to get from Te is lust.Alec is wealthy and evil.He seduces Te, and that’s the direct cause of Te’s tragedy.We all know that another name of this novel is “A Pure Woman”.In Hardy’s eyes, Te is pure and brave.He shows great sympathy to Te.At that age, men dominated the society, while women didn’t realize their rights.They are limited by the traditional morals and religion rules.In the novel, Te is a poor victim, but because of the culture of the society, the other women don’t show their sympathies to her.They criticize her and fabricate rumors to defame her.It’s such a tragedy that women don’t help women.As a boy, after reading the novel, I feel more sympathy for Te.I don’t understand the thoughts of those people living in that age, but today, well, men and women are equal.
