Abstract

Tess of the D’Urbervilles, written by Thomas Hardy, a British critical realist writer at the end of the nineteenth century, is hailed as the gem of British literature and the world literature. The author successfully creates many tragedy characters, in which the image of Tess is the most typical one. This paper aims to search for the causes of Tess’s tragedy in the aspects of social unrest, the patriarchal culture, and the religious and moral beliefs of bourgeoisie brought by social transformation in Victorian age and the practical significance.
