《苔丝》英文读后感

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.

第2篇：《苔丝》英文读后感

All about Woman When I read the novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles ten years ago for the first time, I was merely shocked by Tess’s miserable and tragic fate. What a lovely and kind girl! She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn’t deserve. At that time I was just a naive little girl in junior high school.

Now reviewing this famous novel again, I realize that there is still much to be found and thought about in it. Great as Hardy is, he definitely wanted to tell readers more than a tragic story purely.

Tess was the eldest daughter of her family and she had no choice but to bear the responsibility of rallying her family and repaying the debts. She was beautiful, innocent and pure without big ambition or desire for things that didn’t belong to her. Nobody ever doubted that she deserved happiness and peace. But things seldom go on as we expected. Tess was deprived of virginity and she was no longer ‘pure’ as she used to be. What’s worse, she got pregnant as a result. Tess gave birth to the baby and decided to raise the baby all by herself. At that time, she showed her admirable qualities—being tough and decisive. We all hope that she can start a brand new life and cut off all contact with the past after her baby’s death. However, for the second and third time, God cheated and mocked her. Sometimes I wonder why a nice woman couldn’t end up with a nice man. Is it just like the saying that beautiful women suffer unhappy fates? Tess always missed her Mr. right and her Mr.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn’t let her go. All the three person misunderstand what’s love. Alec thought love to be deprival and occupation; Angel thought love to be purity and ideal; Tess thought love to be toleration and waiting. They stuck in their illusion of love of which they never managed to get out. Alec and Tess was dead. As for Angel, he might as well be dead.

Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate?

I believe it was Tess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of destruction. But Tess should have led a better life if she don’t treat herself as a satellite of men. How stupid is she to spend her life waiting for a man who betrayed her and escaped away when she was dying for help! When there is no help offered by men, women should fight on their own instead of waiting for men’s mercy and forgiveness since there is nothing needed to be forgiven. Women’s tragedy will never come to an end until they treat themselves as totally independent, which means they can lead a normal life with or without men.

TESS is really a tragic figure in the book TESS of the d’Urberwilles

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.

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.

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!

第4篇：德伯家的苔丝读后感 英文版

THE LOVE BETWEEN TESS AND ANGEL CLARE This love story is a tragedy. The hero and the heroine don’t get a happy ending. Both of them have made some mistakes, but it’s really hard to judge who is to be blame for this tragedy. There are some reasons which shouldn’t be ignored for their wrong. Though Tess’s and Angel’s love is full of twists and turns,

The first stage is in hazy love. Perhaps it’s not really loves which are just some special feelings. It started form the first time when Tess and Angel met. Tess was a 16-year old innocent girl and Angel Clare was still a students. They were both in their best years. In the beginning the story is just like other old-fashioned love story. A beautiful young girl and a handsome young boy met at a party, and there is the club-dance.but they didn’t dance with each other and they missed. Angel danced with others but not with Tess, but he noticed Tess when he had to leave. “This white shape alone stood apart by the hedge alone. From her position he knew it to be the pretty maiden with whom he had not danced. Trifling as the matter was, he yet instinctively felt that she was hurt by his oversight. He wished that he had asked her; he wished that he had inquired her name. She was so modest, so expressive; she had looked so soft in her thin white gown that he felt he had acted stupidly.” At first sight he saw her; he was abstracted by her beauty and felt regretful for his oversight to her and Tess also felt a bit sad. In this moment, some special feelings rooted in their heart and maybe they didn’t realize it. It implies that Angel will meet Tess again and there must be a romantic relationship between them. The second stage is in passionate love. Some years past, Tess and Angel Clare met again. They met in a dairy by chance. In the dairy Tess changed her mind and gradually forgot her painful past. Angel Clare was like a real angel who gave Tess hope, warm and love. They found the charming of each other and were attracted by each other. You can feel whether a man truly loves you or just loves your beauty. Though the first impression of a man is very important for your next judgment, it cannot be reason that you fall in love with him so deeply. Feeling is mutual. Tess and Angel could feel how much they loved the other and the other loved them. Angel and Tess fell in love very quickly. For Tess, Angel was a gift from the heaven that saved her form the horrible hell and for Angel; Tess was also a goodness who was so beautiful, decent and pure. They cherished their love very much. Angel went back home to tell his parents that he would marry Tess. He showed great consideration for their marriage and tried to persuade his parents to bless them. If he didn’t love Tess, he won’t give every care to Tess. Though he made mistakes in the future, his love to Tess of this time shouldn’t be doubted. Tess also loved Angel so much. For loving Angel she broke her promises and she didn’t dare to tell Angel her shameful and hopeless past because she was afraid that Angel wouldn’t forgive her. If Tess didn’t love Angel so deeply, she wouldn’t be afraid of losing him so much. Love is irresistible. Angel proposed many times and Tess received it. The third stage is in uncertain. After Tess confessed her shameful and painful past, the essence of things had changed. Angel was unwilling to or unable to forgive Tess. He began to doubt his choice. “O Tess, forgiveness does not apply to me the case. You were one person; now you are another. My God-how can forgiveness meet such a grotesque-prestidigitation as that!” “I repeat, the woman I have been loving is not you.”Angel said these cruel words to Tess. But it can’t be the evidence to prove he didn’t really love Tess and he won’t love Tess any more. He said these words when he was very surprised by the truth and was not rational at that moment. Tess dared to tell Angel her past that showed her believed their love was firm. She knew how much she loved Angel and she thought Angel also loved her deeply. The most impressive plot in this stage is that Angel sleepwalked. What a person dreaming shows a person’s real mind. Angel sleepwalked and he went to Tess’s room. He kissed Tess and carried Tess out of room. “My poor, poor Tess-my dearest, darling Tess! So sweet, so good, so true!” In the daytime, he controlled his true emotions and feelings. In the night, he his unconscious behavior reflected his true mind that he loved Tess very deeply. The only pity was that Tess didn’t tell Angel his dream walking. If she had told him, maybe he may realize his heart earlier. The fourth stage is in unwavering love. After a long period of desperation, Tess and Angel realized how deep their love was. “Because nobody could love‟ee more than Tess did! She would have laid down her life for „ee. I could do no more.” Tess’s friend Izz told Angel that there was nobody could love Angel more than Tess did. Perhaps Angel hadn’t realized it when he stayed together with Tess. However, when these words were spoken from other girl who was a rival of Tess, they had stronger power to make Angel more sober to their love. Angel and Tess both experienced many terrible things during the period when they were departing. Tess never changed her love for Angel and Angel finally saw his heart. Angel came back for Tess and Tess killed Alec for Angel. Angel no longer cared about Tess’s past and Tess had never hated him. The poor couple was together again. They spent the last happy time. The dream was consummated. Tess finally got her Angel, her love and the happiest life. “Let her finish her sleep.” He implored in a whisper of the men as they round. This was the last thing that Angel did for Tess. They would be separated forever. Once Tess waked up, she would be arrested and be executed. Though the ending made people can’t help crying, the couple knew each other’s heart and spent the happiest time. In a sense, it could be regarded a happy ending. After finished this novel, you will find the story left a great impression on you and the most impressive thing is the love between Tess and Angel Clare. The hazy love, the passionate love, the uncertain love and the unwavering love all make this story become complete and touching. Their love is not as simple as the love of normal traditional love story. It is tied closely with many other things like morality and social rules. It has to face the obstacles from religions and conventional values. It is more precious and firm. Though some people still doubted the love, it does exit and should be cherished.

第6篇：《苔丝》读后感

不论我犯过什么错，你都会原谅我吗?

——题记

苔丝是一个纯洁，善良，美丽的乡村女孩，由于父亲意外得知自己是名门望族的后裔，就派女儿苔丝去同族的亲戚家里认亲，顺便救济一下他们。苔丝硬着头皮去了，在那里见到了亚雷克，并替他们养鸡。在这期间，亚雷克不断表达他的爱慕，可是他是一个十足的伪君子，苔丝对他只有厌恶。没想到，亚雷克竟设法玷污了苔丝。之后苔丝因怒回家，却怀了孕，还生下了一个孩子。可她的孩子不久因病夭折。她又去了奶牛场，在那里遇到了克莱尔。他是一个有修养，有文化，热爱大自然的人。他被苔丝那高贵的气质和迷人的外表折服，于是二人结了婚。苔丝的内心一直很矛盾，她不知道是否要将那件事告诉他。最终理智驱使她说出了真相。克莱尔十分生气他离开了苔丝，去巴西做生意。在这期间，苔丝的生活越发困难，父亲病故，村人驱逐。在这时，亚雷克却出现了，他做了传教士，可一看到苔丝，宗教就不复存在了。他答应给苔丝和她的亲人们优越的生活，他还不断的说克莱尔的坏话。最终，苔丝迫于压力与亚雷克成婚。而此时的克莱尔也终于能够放下仇恨，回来寻找苔丝。

新婚后的苔丝再次见到克莱尔十分的激动 但是她反复地说着“太晚了!太晚了!”苔丝再也忍受不了亚雷克对克莱尔的诋毁，一刀杀死了亚雷克，与克莱尔私奔。不久，苔丝被警察抓到，处以死刑。

托马斯。哈代以他极为细腻的笔触描绘了苔丝这一复杂的形象。

苔丝她是一个有向上精神的人。在当时，她的孩子夭折之后她还是能勇敢的面对，去奶牛场工作。在克莱尔离开她后她也同样勇敢地面对，坚信克莱尔会原谅她。

她是一个十分有尊严的人。她即便是穷的的分文没有也不去公公那里要一分钱，她也没有把丈夫给她的珠宝变卖。

她是一个勇敢的战士，她看到丈夫回来后勇敢的对亚雷克反抗，她为了丈夫可以牺牲一切，甚至是生命。

但是，同时她还是一个太善于忍让的人。她的丈夫离开她，去巴西之后，如果她可以早些给丈夫写信，丈夫或许就可以马上回来。甚至是他们在分别之时她能说一句求得原谅的话，丈夫绝不会去巴西。她总是以为“那是我应得的，我没有资格求得他的原谅。”

同时，我们也不得不为这份凄楚的爱情而深感惋惜。苔丝与克莱尔虽然分别，但是无时无刻不在思念着对方。他们在生命中最美丽的时光也是他们本该最幸福，人人都羡慕的时光分别。但是，他们在生命的最后一刻走到了一起。苔丝的妹妹丽莎代替了姐姐陪伴在克莱尔身边。而这也是苔丝的遗愿。

他们的爱情如此的跌宕起伏。我不断地回想着苔丝问克莱尔的一句话：“不论我犯过什么错，你都会原谅我吗?”

但愿今日再回答这个问题的人能够说到做到!
