简爱读后感英文版 篇一
"Jane Eyre" is the history of British literature as a classic masterpieces, it successfully portrays the history of British literature in the first to love, life, society and religion are independent and proactive attitude and dare to struggle, dare to fight for freedom and equality of women image.
Most women who love foreign literature like to read Charlotte's Jane eyre. If we think Charlotte just wrote Jane Eyre for the love. I think it's wrong. The author was also a woman who lived in a volatile Britain in the middle of the nineteenth Century, when the thought had a new beginning. In "Jane Eyre"， the most permeated is the idea of women's independent consciousness. Let us imagine that if Jane's independence has long been strangled in Jirenlixia childhood life; if she does not have the independence, she had and his wife and daughter live together in Rochester, began to have money, and status of new life; if she does not share of purity, we are now in the hands of "Jane Eyre" is no longer touching the tears of the classic. So I began to think about why Jane Eyre moved us and loved her, her independent personality, and her charming personality.
However, we can not help asking, can only this step be independent? I don't think so. After all, women's independence is a long process, not overnight. It needs a thorough courage, like Jane then decided to leave Rochester, "the wind rustling Xi Zhuang earth went to the Yi River is so cold, did not return" bold and daring. I think this should be the most crucial step, and it should be a decisive step towards independence. Charlotte's Jane Eyre left us with a strong personality and independent personality. So she was a successful, happy woman.
Jane has been an independent female classic, I hope the sun, flowers in more Jane walked out, whether poor or rich; whether beautiful or homely, have a good mind and enrich the mind, can be an independent personality and a strong personality life.
《简爱》英文读后感带翻译 篇二
Is it because Im plain, unknown to the public, as pour as a church mouse, tall and thin, with no soul, no heart, you are wrong, I have as much soul as you, Im full as much heart!
Charlotte, Jane Eyre
"Jane Eyre" is the history of British literature as a classic masterpieces, it successfully portrays the history of British literature in the first to love, life, society and religion are independent and proactive attitude and dare to struggle, dare to fight for freedom and equality of women image.
All the women who love foreign literary works like to read Charlottes Jane Eyre. If we think that Charlotte writes Jane love only to write this lingering love. I think its wrong. The author is also a woman, living in the middle of the nineteenth Century in the fluctuating UK, when thought had a new start. The most permeated in Jane Eyre is this idea - the independent consciousness of women. Let us imagine that if Janes independence has long been strangled in Jirenlixia childhood life; if she does not have the independence, she had and his wife and daughter live together in Rochester, began to have money, and status of new life; if she does not share of purity, we are now in the hands of "Jane Eyre" is no longer touching the tears of the classic. So, I began to think about why Jane Eyre moved us and loved it - it was her independent character and the charm of her heart.
However, we can not help but ask, is this only one step to be independent? I dont think it is. After all, the independence of women is a long process, not overnight. It needs a thorough courage, like Jane then decided to leave Rochester, "the wind rustling Xi Zhuang earth went to the Yi River is so cold, did not return" bold and daring. I think this should be the most critical step, and it should be a decisive step towards independence. Charlottes Jane Eyre has left her stubborn character and independent personality to us. So she is a successful, happy woman.
Jane has been an independent female classic, I hope the sun, flowers in more Jane walked out, whether poor or rich; whether beautiful or homely, have a good mind and enrich the mind, can be an independent personality and a strong personality life.
难道就因为我一贫如洗，默默无闻，长相平庸，个子瘦小，就没有灵魂，没有心肠了——你想错了，我的心灵跟你一样丰富，我的心胸一样充实！
——《简爱》夏洛蒂
《简爱》是英国文学史上的一部经典传世之作，它成功地塑造了英国文学史中第一个对爱情、生活、社会以及宗教都采取了独立自主的积极进取态度和敢于斗争、敢于争取自由平等地位的女性形象。
大凡喜爱外国文学作品的。女性，都喜欢读夏洛蒂的《简爱》。如果我们认为夏洛蒂仅仅只为写这段缠绵的爱情而写《简爱》。我想，错了。作者也是一位女性，生活在波动变化着的英国１９世纪中叶，那时思想有着一个崭新的开始。而在《简爱》里渗透最多的也就是这种思想——女性的独立意识。让我们试想一下，如果简爱的独立，早已被扼杀在寄人篱下的童年生活里；如果她没有那份独立，她早已和有妻女的罗切斯特生活在一起，开始有金钱，有地位的新生活；如果她没有那份纯洁，我们现在手中的《简爱》也不再是令人感动的流泪的经典。所以，我开始去想，为什么《简爱》让我们感动，爱不释手——就是她独立的性格，令人心动的人格魅力。
然而，我们不禁要问，仅这一步就能独立吗？我认为，不会的。毕竟女性的独立是一个长期的过程，不是一蹴而就的。它需要一种彻底的勇气，就像简爱当年毅然离开罗切斯特一样，需要“风潇潇兮易水寒，壮土一去兮不复返”的豪迈和胆量。我想，这应该才是最关键的一步，也应该是走向独立的决定性的一步。而夏洛蒂笔下的简爱却把她倔强的性格，独立的个性留给我们一个感动。所以她是成功的，幸福的女性。
简爱已作为独立女性的经典，我希望阳光下，鲜花里有更多的简爱走出来，不管是贫穷，还是富有；不管是美貌，还是相貌平庸，都有美好的心灵和充实的心胸，都能以独立的人格和坚强的个性生活。
简爱英语读后感 篇三
世界名著到底是不同于一般的作品，读得时候能完全的融入到故事的情景中去，虽然他的语言情节，甚至结局都很平淡，故事也逃不出世俗的套路，以读者期盼的方式发展。
The world masterpiece is different from the general works. When reading, it can be completely integrated into the story. Although his language plot or even the ending is very plain, the story can not escape the secular routine and develop in the way that readers expect.
《简爱》让我阅读越喜欢，它不催我一滴眼泪，或一丝个性的感动。但那种心里淡淡的愉悦灌入我的身体。像早起喝了一杯纯牛奶，很淡但牛香味久久不散。
"Jane love" let me read the more like it, it does not urge me a drop of tears, or a touch of personality. But the light pleasures of the heart poured into my body. A cup of pure milk has been drunk as early as early, but it is very light but the fragrance of the cow is long.
我读过许多关于感情的`诗和小说，大多心灵震颤，感动得一塌糊涂，也很向往那样深刻的感情，那样浓烈的感觉。以前有过，于是越细读简爱的心理描述，越能体味她对恋人的深情。她的一切心理，脆弱，伤感，多疑，幻想，甚至过于敏感的患得患失。我都能理解，并深刻的感叹作者的描述是多么形象逼真啊。
I've read a lot of poems and novels about emotions. Most of them are thrilled, moved and confused. They also yearn for such deep feelings and strong feelings. Before, the more I read the psychological description of Jane's love, the more she could taste the love of her lover. All her psychological, fragile, sad, suspicious, fantasy, or even too sensitive to worry about personal gains and losses. I can all understand and deeply lament how vivid the author's description is.
我一向很佩服明晓溪的《泡沫之夏》描述的唯美入微，《红楼梦》里黛玉的心思细腻感人，此刻感觉到简爱的丝毫不比她们逊色，甚至更贴切，更贴合一个普通女孩坠入爱河时的表现，至少是与我相贴合。
I have always admired her "bubble summer" to describe the aesthetic details, "a dream of Red Mansions" in her mind and delicate and moving, at the moment feel that Jane's no better than their less, even more appropriate, more fit into an ordinary girl in love performance, at least is jointed with me.
回想起来，我真和她读过的那一段时间很像，每一天想的都是那么复杂的东西。呵，多伤神啊，可却从没有停止想过。生命的平淡却因此消失，代之以丰富的东西。很少有人能在心中划下印痕。简爱太冷淡，生活也很灰暗，罗彻斯特便是上帝带给她去改变生命的人。而简爱也在他心中激起永远无法平息的涟漪。我想他们对于彼此而言都太特殊了，以至于一辈子都没办法忘掉或不爱，如果失去了彼此，那该是怎样的荒芜啊。
In retrospect, I was really like the time she had read, and what I thought was so complicated every day. Oh, how exhausting ah, but never stop thinking about. The light of life is disappearing, and it is replaced by a rich thing. Few people can mark the mark in their hearts. Jane Aitai cold, life is very gloomy, Rochester is God brought her to change the life of the people. And Jane eyed the ripples that could never be appease in his heart. I think they are so special for each other that they can't forget or not love for their whole life. If they lose each other, what kind of Desolation will it be?
好在他们有相对愉快的结局，只要两情相悦，还是能够在一齐的，可总感觉作者结局火灾部分的安排有些……，虽然有她的道理。
Fortunately, they have a relatively happy ending, as long as the two lovers, can still together, but I feel the end part of the arrangement of some fire...... Although there is a reason for her.
如果他们没有在一齐会怎样呢？这是不可能的，按照小说的铺垫。现实中就不一样了，就是心灵相通也未必。人的追求多了，欲望也一样。难免最后各奔东西。
What if they're not together? This is not possible, according to the groundwork of the novel. In reality, it is not the same, that is, the heart is not necessarily interlinked. Man's pursuit is more, and desire is the same. It finally gebendongxi.
简爱是个个性的人，她不求什么，也不被现实的枷锁所累，无欲则刚，她能够一心持续特立独行的她。或许这正是我该学习的，想太多，难免会陷入牢笼之中。倒不如简单淡薄的好。
Jane Eyre is a personality, she did not seek what, nor is the reality of the shackles of the tired, she can only continue to One can be austere without selfish desires, her personal independence of conduct. Maybe that's exactly what I should learn and think too much, and it will inevitably fall into the cage. It's better to be simple and thin.
《简爱》读后感英文版 篇四
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 only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!
Tess 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 Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’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 ugliness? 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. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…
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 TESS be just a memory.
简爱英语读后感 篇五
"Jane Eyre" is the British modern literature a significant position of the novel, is the representative of the author Charlotte, he has successfully created a dare to struggle, dare to the image of women, the freedom and equality indeed, after I read this book, I was very moved, also deeply such a defiant, brave heroine infection.
The full text can be divided into four stages: at the home of aunt Reed, at the raund school, in Schonfeld, in Saint John.
Jane was born in England, young when she lost her parents, aunt Mrs. Reed in a dozen years spent at home, but Mrs. Reed not good to her, including her children, even the servants don't love her, her uncle John even often insulted her, perhaps this kind of living environment, give it to her the thought brought great restraint, her behavior is limited, she had to fight. When she had the first conflict with her cousin, Jane said without fear, "your boy is really vicious and cruel!" You are like a murderer, you are like a man who abused others, you are like the emperor of Rome. Although the result of the quarrel was obvious, Jane's brave performance, the spirit of resistance, shook any reader.
Because Mrs. Reed did not like Jane and sent her to a school at random, but on the contrary, she agreed with Jane. She didn't want to stay at Mrs. Reed's home.
Jane entered the Rao Wald school. In this school, children, including Jane, suffer from cold and hunger, and be beaten, punished, cut, hair and other insults, meals are very bad, and their living environment is not healthy. A cold can not be timely treatment, destined to a half will take a number of trained typhus infection, the child's life, Jane in such a school, witnessed all her hatred of the school, the school's founder, especially hate Mr Hearst, he is a pseudo word Jun, this school is a hell on earth. Jane in this school had her alumni Helen Burns said: "when we are beaten we should It is without rhyme or reason., fiercely fought back, I am sure we should fight back, fiercely fought back, the lessons learned that US, that he will never dare such a hit. This will further show the reader her indomitable adherence to the resistance. You have to be convinced.
The third part is the core part of the book, Jane a governess at Thornfield house. For Jane to say that this is a very strange place, is Jane's first set foot on the society, contact with the outside world, where Jane met Mr. Rochester, although Rochester is older than Jane, who looks not beautiful, but their thoughts have a lot in common, naturally fell in love with Jane he. Jane does not care about Rochester's vast wealth and fame and fortune, she is a real emotion, a friendly and open, she hopes they are equal between. But when she thought Rochester was going to marry Ingram and wanted to leave her, she said angrily, "do you think I will stay and become your decisive person?
Do you think I'm an automatic machine, a machine without feelings... Do you think I'm poor, low, beautiful, short, and I have no soul and no heart
You are wrong! - my soul is exactly the same as you... And I talk to you now, and not through the custom, customary, not even by physical, human - it is my spirit that addresses your spirit, just as the two had passed through the grave, and we at God's feet, equal - because we are equal.
I was moved by this passage. Yes, we are equal. Even if the beautiful and attractive miss Ingram has a good reputation, there is a strong hearted family teacher. Jane also challenges the upper class. After a few twists and turns, Jane and Rochester were finally able to walk together.
Jane had been treated unfairly from childhood, but she achieved her career success and happiness by virtue of her fearless, acting and fighting spirit. I threw her away and wished her a better life.
Though the unfair treatment in today's society may be rare, the spirit of resistance is indispensable to all of us. We must learn to resist and fight against it because we are equal.
简爱英语读后感 篇六
Jane Eyre is one of my favorite foreign novels in my reading life. Ignorant self, filled with the feelings of young girls, quietly into the inner world of Jane Eyre, to understand her emotions, the mentality of the course of a mature and understanding.
Jane Eyre, not tall, thin, plain, as the crowd is not outstanding self, no gorgeous appearance, not the vanity to meet the proud and delighted. I love Jane Eyre, that kind, stubborn girl. Perhaps, Jane's appearance can find self shadow, to comfort the mediocre self. As a woman, who are eager to become self confidence with dazzling pearl, brilliance and bragging rights, but not everyone can shine, there is only a mediocre, outstanding; poor, only have wealth; humble, is perfect, is arrogant; ugly; good is evil. Everything in the world is always antagonistic, and it looks colorful, weaving the life of the most tedious complex network, including vientiane.
At first, I thought the story was mainly about how the hero followed her feelings, and slowly read deeper to understand the protagonist jane. The unique character presented by love reflects her extraordinary temperament and a very rich emotional world. Although she is small, ordinary, no money, no status, but she pursues independent personality, not to bow to life, advocating equality. At that time in England, such women were valuable and respectable. Jane. Love dies from parents, and lives in the aunt's home where they are criticized and despised. At the start of the study life, but the little girl and best, Mr. Blow Hester when the smear her face, after a good Danboer lady to help free her "charges". After the death of Helen, a good friend, jane. Love in prison, Ward school for eight years of good education. She was not willing to live in school, she longed for the outside world. Then, she went to Thornfield Hall do miss Adele tutor, and then fell in love with the house owner Mr. Rochester, he has a body that was not good-looking, is a gentleman, but very angry. When they got ready to get married, they were surprised to know that Mr. Rochester was a married man! His wife was a madman, lived in Thornfield hall. Jane. Love decided to leave him. To muddle along without any aim after three days, when she was starving by a Saint John rescued. As a rural teacher. When Saint John asked her to marry her, she decided to return to Rochester, even though Mr. had been blind and disabled at the time. Jane. Love is strong when it comes to dealing with all kinds of suffering. As she learned her idol: Mr. Rochester is already married, she did not cry, be self locked in the room to bear all the darkness, mind a "leave Thornfield" of the idea, and in spite of Mr. Rochester begging, stubbornly leave. She was strong, she was not knocked down by great suffering; she was stubborn and believed that she would change her fate; she longed for true love, and gained extraordinary feelings.
Jane Bront by EFCI eyes to each individual insight into the surrounding, Jane can clearly feel Rochester's extraordinary vision, Ingram shallow, two cousin talent and character, and the great cold in Saint John. In her works, Jane Eyre's sharp eyes and quick thinking and close communication with her soul, and her soul fight repulsion.
Therefore, the work attracted me the most is Bront's Jane Eyre's wisdom, she is not as keen on a mediocre taste, she is good at thinking, failing cautious but not rash, independent thought and not Lai, tenacious vitality, with dignity and to maintain, follow your heart and not worldly, work principle the reason, not heartless, has a unique perspective on your life.
简爱英语读后感 篇七
简·爱，她相貌平庸、出身贫穷，却坚信人人平等。
Jane Eyre, who has a mediocre appearance and a poor birth, believes that everyone is equal.
《简·爱》塑造了一个生而不幸、历尽艰辛、敢于奋力抗争和顽强追求的倔强少女。她应对冷漠的表姐们，狠毒的舅妈，野蛮的表哥和拥有巨大财产的罗切斯特先生，并没有选取屈服，而是顽强勇敢地与恶势力抗衡，勇敢地表现自己的独自人格，最终才得到了属于自己的真爱。
Jane Eyre portrays a stubborn young girl who is unfortunate, painstaking, struggling and pursuing. Her response to the indifference of the cousins, her aunt, cousin and savage has a huge property of Mr. Rochester, and did not choose to yield, but tenacious brave and the evil forces contend, brave performance of their own personality, finally got their own true love.
《简·爱》里有一个小人物很不起眼的，却令我印象十分深刻，她就是海伦·彭斯。幼时的简·爱与海伦构成了巨大的反差。海伦，应对别人的欺压，却总是去包容、理解他人。我记得海伦说过一句话：“我觉得生命太短促了，不值得把它花费在怀恨和记仇上。”仇恨就像一盏灯，我们并不需要像飞蛾一样奋不顾身地扑上去，被弹开后再锲而不舍地扑上去，那样只会伤害到自己。于是，在不公平面前，海伦·彭斯选取逆来顺受。当看到海伦因为生病而去世时的那一章时，我和简·爱一样，心里有说不出的失落，为一个善良的人离去了而失落悲伤。这虽然只是书中的情节，我却感觉那么地真实。
I was very impressed by a small figure in Jane Eyre, which was Helen Burns. Jane Eyre of her childhood and Helen made a huge contrast. Helen, in response to the bullying of others, is always tolerant and understanding of others. I remember Helen said a word: "I think life is too short, not worth it to spend in the bitter and vengeful." Hatred is just like a lamp. We don't need to rush to go like a moth, and then go on with it, and it will only hurt itself. So, in the face of unfair, Helen Burns resigned from. When I saw Helen's death when he was sick, I lost heart like Jane Eyre. I lost my heart for a good person. This is just the plot of the book, but I feel so real.
与海伦·彭斯不同的是，简·爱选取了与一切抗争。简·爱懂得反驳、回击伤害她的人，想要引用一下简·爱在书中说过的一句话，“我此刻不是凭着习俗、常规，甚至也不是凭着肉体凡胎跟你说话，而是我的心灵在跟你的心灵说话，就好像我们都已离开人世，两人平等地一同站在上帝跟前——因为我们本来就是平等的！”简·爱说的话就正好反映了社会最底层最想表达的愿望，那就是——人与人之间没有卑贱、高低之分，人人都是平等的。
Unlike Helen Burns, Jane Eyre has chosen to fight against everything. Jane hurt her back, know how to refute, to quote Jane Eyre said in words in a book, "at the moment I'm not by customs, conventional, nor even of mortal flesh by talking to you, but my heart is talking to your heart, as if we are dead two people together, equally stood in front of God, because we are equal!" Jane Eyre's words just reflect the desire to express at the bottom of society. That is, no equal or equal distinction is found between people.
罗切斯特，这个正直、善良的先生。他对待简·爱，总是那么的'温和。才赢得了简·爱——这个倔强女孩的感情。他们俩就像是彼此生活中的阳光，照亮了两人的心灵。虽然，简曾离开过他。
Rochester, this honest, good gentleman. He was always so gentle on Jane Eyre. I won the feelings of Jane Eyre, the stubborn girl. They are like the sun in each other's life, illuminating the mind of the two. Jane had left him, though.
故事的结局还算幸福圆满。虽然没有像童话故事中的王子公主最后在一齐幸福地生活了那样的结局——罗切斯特先生的庄园被烧毁了，他的眼睛也失明了，成为了一名残疾人，但却换回了简·爱的感情。我想那是值得的，罗切斯特先生也必须那么想。
The end of the story is happy and happy. Though there is no such an ending as the prince and princess in the fairy tale finally living happily together, Mr. Rochester's manor burned down, his eyes became blind, and became a disabled person, but he returned to Jane Eyre's feelings. I think it's worth it, and Mr. Rochester has to think that too.
当我合上这本书时，脑海中浮现的是简·爱的背影：挺直，坚韧，宛如生命力最旺盛的一朵向日葵……
When I close this book, I think of Jane Eyre's back in my mind: straight, tough, like a sunflower with the most vigorous life...
《简爱》读后感英文版 篇八
Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why did such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as Tess should suffer inevitable ruin? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Why the tragedy is happened more than one hundred years ago repeated in modern times? Is everything too late?
Recently I’ve read the British famous writer Thomas Hardy’s masterpiece-Tess of the D’urbervilles. It describes the misfortune of a poor peasant girl Tess. In this novel, we can see Tess resist her unjust fate again and again, till to be ruined. With the development of the plot we find that her tragedy is inevitable. We can not but feel the intense emotions of pity and fear.
The cause of Tess’s tragedy has always been the concern of people, such a beautiful, noble and pure woman as Tess should suffer inevitable ruin. What leads to her tragic destiny? Who killed her? I can’t do very well in analysis the novel. I don’t know clearly how the time she lived in affect her life. I do have an understanding of the novel by myself. Alec and Angel who are the two people very closely related to Tess’s fate. I think fierce Alec played a very important role in killing Tess, but in fact, it was hypocritical Angel who killed Tess indirectly but more cruelly.
I wanted to cry, Tess, do not follow him when I read that plot. I hope she met her true love before she was seduced, but everything was too late. 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 respect her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of man. Women were too weak. Tess was poor, weak and helpless and met the wrong person at the wrong time.
I strongly believed that it was Angel who killed Tess cruelly and without mercy. Angel was a liberal bourgeoisie. He made himself lived in the countryside rather than serving the god. Angel was a man who questioned the church’s teaching. He thought the church’s views were too strict and did not allow free thinking. Angel extricated him from religion and his family, but he couldn’t break with traditional moral principles. He wanted a wife who was the daughter of nature, honest, sensitive, intelligent, graceful, pure as snow and extremely beautiful. In the first part I thought Angel loved tess very much. In the following part I found that he loved an image he imagined. After their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave angel at once. She innocently thought that the thing she was going to confess would be forgiven. Poor Tess! She sat and told everything to angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven, but she was wrong. The woman pays.
Angel claimed that you were one person, now you are another when tess asked why. The woman Angel had loved was not tess, was another woman in tess’s shape. Angel loved the person he imagined. He considered tess the daughter of nature. Compared to tess’s words, “ I thought angel, that you loved me-me my very self! If you do love me, how can you treat me like this? It frightened me! Having begun to love you, I will love you forever, in all changes, in all troubles, because you are yourself. I ask no more.” we know how deep tess loved angel. She would have laid down life for angel. She not only loved the merits but also accept the demerits. We know from the book that when angel came back from Brazil, he could hardly be recognized by his mother because the cruel climate and hard work had aged him by twenty years, but tess accepted angel immediately, because he was the man she fell in love with.
I don’t know why angel couldn’t forgive tess since he himself had done the similar thing.
