About This Novel
Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), a master of British fiction and poetry. "Tess" is his most famous novel masterpiece. The poor and beautiful heroine Tess loses her virginity to Alec, a bad boy from a rich family because of her youth and ignorance. She suffers mental and material torture, and loses her true love Claire because of it. Finally, she kills Alec out of grief, anger and despair, and walks to the gallows calmly. The great charm and courage of Tess's humanity and soul make her one of the most touching female images in the literary gallery. Hardy vividly demonstrates his deep-rooted tragic outlook on fate and broad and profound humanistic compassion through the tragic experiences of the pure and beautiful Tess's short life.

Tess had a hard life. She was born into such a poor family and had such a vain mother. Her mother taking her to meet relatives was the beginning of her tragedy.
In the final analysis, Angel Clare just didn't love Tess enough. If he loved Tess enough, he wouldn't mind her past. He would still mind, so he separated.
The happiest Tess was the time she spent with her lover, and the most beautiful Tess was the moment she walked to the gallows calmly. Tess didn't do anything wrong, but she was in such pain. She didn't want to continue struggling in pain and chose to end everything with death.
If Alec really likes Tess, he can marry her, but he doesn't take action and wants Tess, which leads to tragedy in Tess's life and his own life is also a tragedy.
