Te of the D'Urbervilles was written by Thomas Hardy(1840---1928), an English novelist who is famous for novels of character and Environment.When he was young, he derived a love of music from his father and a devotion to literature from his mother.He grew up in the Dorset shire, of which the environment there became the main backdrop of his writings.His writings often reflected the change after capitalism intruded the countries in England and the people‟s hard life.The novel Te of the D'Urbervilles was published in the year 1891, which was his most famous novel.It tells a story of a tragedy life of a pure girl.In the Victorian period, a rural clergyman in England tells D‟Urbervilles, a simple farmer, that he was descended from the illustrious D„Urbervilles family.The D‟Urbervilles couple sent his daughter Te to a family named D„Urbervilles in order to improve their social status.Te was asked to feed chickens there and Alec fell in love with Alec, who later raped her, so she left, pregnant.She went back home, gave birth to the baby, named Sorrow who died soon.Some time later, Te began working as a milkmaid, and there she met her true love Angel Clare.They fell in love, but Angel does not learn of her previous relationship with Alec until their wedding night, and abandoned her.Deserted by her husband, Te met Alec again, and poverty forced her to resume their relationship.Angel returned from travelling abroad, remorseful at his treatment of Te, but found her with Alec.Te murdered Alec in order to run away with Angel.They spent one night of happine together, before she was arrested.Many people can hardly accept that Te was pure because on the hand she was chastity but on the other hand she killed somebody.But that opinion only existed in Hardy's time, now, more and more people admire that Te was a pure woman.As far as I am concerned, Te was a pure woman.Everybody who has read the novel or watched the movie believed that Te was a pure woman.And Te was the incarnation of pure, though she has had some unfortunate experiences.She was regarded as a beautiful, pure, strong and enduring woman.But why we call Te-a “degenerate” woman-a pure woman?
First, as we know, she was born pure.At the beginning of the movie, we saw many women, all dreed in white, paraded to the main square and there do a dance.One of the “walkers” was Durbeyfield‟s pretty, innocent, sixteen-year old daughter Te.She was “at this time of her life a mere veel of emotion, untinctured by experience.” Te‟s beautiful face, white dre and pure temperament made a good impreion to us.Later, she was forced to be a service of the Stokes, working on the estate‟s poultry farm.But unfortunately, she was seduced by Alec, a fraud as well as a morally corrupt person.And from then on her life totally changed from this lo 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.So we can say that Te was born pure, she was merely, she didn‟t know Alec would hurt her, it provided that she was a pure girl.Second, Te‟s love was pure.In the Talbothdays dairy, she met Angel Clare, an educated, reserved, subtle, sad and differing man.As time went on, they knew and loved each other.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 Te.Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day.Soon after their wedding Angel confeed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Te‟s forgivene.Te was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once;in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confe.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.Te 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 forgivene, after he regretted what he had done unfair to Te, she was desperate.That was too late—Alec had always told Te that Angel would never come back so he won Te‟s trust.Unluckily Angel did come back and found Te.Everything was too late!Te was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time!The strength 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 only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!Te‟s impure in body served as a foil to her soul‟s pure.She did not love Alec totally, so she tended to tell the truth to her lover.Te didn‟t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that‟s all!Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Te‟s crime but he was not blamed for it.Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Te‟s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugline? Women are too weak!Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!In old China there was a culture, which didn‟t think of women as human beings.If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters.If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”
People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going.They thought girls had no use for the family.They would be married and go to live with their husbands‟ home and be their wives some day sooner or later.So they were extremely hard on girls.Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden!If her husband 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 she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her.What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character.Now let‟s not be so bitter.Nowadays women‟s situations have become much better.Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization.Just let those poor painful women like Te be just a memory.In short, as a girl, we should be self-loved and strong.
