Tess, a daughter of a poor villager who discovers that he is the descendent of an ancient family D’Urbervilles is persuaded by her parents to claim kindred with a more prosperous D’Urbervilles and is seduced by the master, Alec. And then she has to return home in disgrace. After giving birth to a child who dies in infancy, she meets Angel Clare, son of a clergyman, and she fails in love with him and marries him. On their wedding night Tess and Angel tell each other about their past. Angel who gets the hypocritical morality deserts her because of her seduction by Alec; then poverty makes her come back to Alec again and tragedy happens. The tragedy of Tess is both the social tragedy and simultaneously also the disposition tragedy. Her tragedy’s origin is not only objective, moreover is also subjective. This paper tells us that Tess is the victim of the bourgeois society and capitalist invasion into the English peasantry. By analyzing the family’s poverty, the social background, her own character, injustice and hypocrisy, the male chauvinism factors, the author’s concept on fate, etc, this paper presents the main causes of Tess’s tragedy.Key words: Tess; tragedy; social background; character; victim; law; morality关于“德伯家的苔丝”—悲剧的分析摘要 托马斯·哈代曾一度被评论家誉为“英国小说中的莎士比亚”。
