Tess of the d'urbervilles
Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Guilty or Not?
The story is about an ordinary young woman who encounters insurmountable
obstacles but is responsible for creating none. From the beginning it can be understood that
she doesn't have the right to express her opinion and if she had, would she dare to.
It all begins with Tess following her father's wishes to make contact to the
D'Urbervilles, because she has to manage to deal with an intrusive young man and because of
her lack of experience she ends up being pregnant and alone. This kind of situation was not
approved at her time and the villagers turned against her. When the baby was born and after a
while died, Tess felt no emotions or feelings. There was nothing to keep her home and so she
left in hope to find a place where no one knew of her sorrowful life.
