The Analysis of the Tragic Tess――the Spirit of Revolt(六)
about. Tess is not a weak person, but a powerful woman, though she goes through the publication to carve, spreads out before us by assuming the role of victor finally. As representatives of force of evil Alec does not succeed finally. He had to pay a price for his behavior, which has set off victory of resisting the moribund society of Tess. Tess’s right inferior contempt does not adhere rigidly to religion form to laugh at hypocritical religion. Tess’s seduction illegitimate child and philosophy of life in the future deny the correctness of ethical society. And the faith of Clare, being traditionally ethical, make him become " the slaves of the custom and stereotype "( Bill, The Industrial Revolution Of the 19th Century (London: London Press, 1927), p.250), which by contrast set Tess the extraordinary and refined figure and courageous woman to pursue happiness marriage. In a word, Tess has shown a powerful woman's image to common people with her unyielding spirit of revolt. She, to the moribund society, traditional old morals, hypocritical religion, capitalist marriage system, has carried on the strongest revealing and criticism. Her kindhearted enlightenment, noble emotion, strong personality, and her resistance in imbuing all rooted in the hearts of the people forever, worth savoring.
