A Pure Woman in an Impure World
Imagine a world where a single mistake-or worse, a violation beyond your control-forever brands you as fallen. This is the world of Tess Durbeyfield, whose journey from innocence to tragedy forms the heart of Thomas Hardy's masterpiece. Published in 1891, "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" scandalized Victorian England with its sympathetic portrayal of a "ruined" woman and its indictment of society's sexual double standards. The novel follows Tess, a beautiful country girl whose life unravels after she's sexually exploited by a wealthy "cousin." When she later finds true love with Angel Clare, her past returns to haunt her, triggering a cascade of events that lead to her ultimate destruction. Through Tess's story, Hardy poses a question that still resonates today: how much of human suffering stems from cruel fate, and how much from an unforgiving society that punishes women for the very experiences it allows men?
