I think the analysis touches on the heart of the novel without mentioning that Hardy has incorporated a number of social and psychological tropes to create a truly modernist novel. There is no single cause for how life evolves, and, for me, the best works of literary attempt to recreate the psychological experience that attends the combination of socioeconomic, cultural and political factors that make each life unique.
Tess was a hero , Hardy shows us the great character of Tess .he presents her as a hero ,pure of heart ,hardworking ,brave ,responsible , beautiful. Tess is deeply troubled by things and is it any wonder . Tess just wants love and simplicity .she stands for decency and Hardy uses her as a mirror reflecting the many personalities of the novel .
I feel the main issue in the novel was how Hardy wanted to know what made purity of a person I feel.Hardy felt no amount of sexual activity or fate could change this .if a person was pure of heart and soul ,like Tess , everything doesn't matter . Such a brave ideal in that age ,a beautiful sentiment .still relevant even in 2023. Angel Clare was a hypocrite but a reflection of the day .don't be too hard on him as he soon realised Tess was innocent in all of it. But Hardy like fate led Angels character as a stepping stone for poor Tess 's end . Such an important relevant book I feel I know Hardy as a true friend .
The way Thomas Hardy persecutes Tess was what put me off the book a bit. He persecutes her not just to death, but beyond the grave, as I read it. Tess gave up her faith, prompted by Angel Clare's clever, German book derived, Christian origin theories. I have read it described as a diseased book, and I understood what it meant. All the same, I plan to read it again next year, but I will read the 1892 edition this time.
Character is fate. She is an eternal infant, a primitive mind, driven by emotions that are portrayed with genius by Hardy. This is in it's way the end and the beginning of the English novel. Nothing can ever go back after this masterpiece.
This story is not a tragedy, it's a triumph. Every problem poor Tess endures is for her family. A devoted daughter and oldest child from the first to last lines. She brings the hives to market then has Angel take her younger sister. The Stonehenge discovery blew my mind.
I am at pains to persuade myself that it's not the fate or at least not entirely the fate which is responsible for so much unhappiness in Tess. Characters themselves have a lot to do with their tragedy.
Hello, I'm Brazilian and I would love to watch Tess of the d'Urbevilles. But I can't watch anywhere on the internet. Please, if anyone knows any website or app that has the Mine series please send me 😔❤️
watched the tv adaption not knowing it was hardy. is the book as bad. thought it was one of those productions taken from a cheap romantic paperback. trowled on with sentimentality and not really convincing. understand theatre very rarely get translation right.

The Stonehenge represents sacrifice.
Character is fate. She is an eternal infant, a primitive mind, driven by emotions that are portrayed with genius by Hardy. This is in it's way the end and the beginning of the English novel. Nothing can ever go back after this masterpiece.

@Ed Perkins but wouldn’t that means tess has tragically sacrificed herself for the family
Excuse me, sir or madame, but I'll note this as a possible answer for an exam.
What was the Stonehenge discovery? Can you elaborate?
It’s not a triumph.
It is a perfect and clear explanation
I am at pains to persuade myself that it's not the fate or at least not entirely the fate which is responsible for so much unhappiness in Tess. Characters themselves have a lot to do with their tragedy.
Thanks Madam
Hi ma'am please to explain the play candida
Excuse me
Anywhere here for Titularizare?
Only, if you could speak a bit louder madam that, I could be interested in this video.
Increase the volume, kiddo
Nice
Tess just needed to communicate more - if she had just opened her mouth she could have avoided so much heartache …. Tess by mid movie is deranged ….

Amazon prime (video) has the 2008 BBC Tess of the D’Urbervilles. It’s a great series!
Film is on RUclips I am watching it now in June 2020
Can't you watch the Roman Polanski film from the 80s? I think it was just called Tess.
