苔丝英文读后感 A TRAGEDY OF A WOMAN
She was seduced by a so-called gentlemanAlec, and
from then on her life totally changed from this loss
of innocence. People looked down on her and respected
her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because
before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was
just a girl when she first met that terrible man.
She was forced by the gossips and the church to
blame herself for this
accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good.
In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to
a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself
that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t aGREe with that,
because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her
whole heart and lifeAngel Chare. Angel popped the
question to her but she refused him without saying why.
She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the
world could love him more than she did but she could
not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’
t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to
win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the
wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed
the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked
for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and
forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and
excited for she also had things to confess.
She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he
would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong.
She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The
woman pays.
Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to
her. The result wasn’t
important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of
that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel
and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER
forgiveness, after he reGREtted what he had done unfair
to Tess, she was desperate. That was too lateAlec had
always told Tess that Angel would never come back so
he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and
found Tess.! Everything was too late!
Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second
time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she
had forgotten the difference between right and wrong.
Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she
killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a
criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent
as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was
honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a
person should be judged not only on what he has done
but also on what he wanted to do!
Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had
no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence
and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it
was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not
blamed for it.
Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are
always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why
does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad
often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness?
Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have
shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!
In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think
of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was
the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the
oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you
asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”
People gave birth to many girls in order to have
only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought
girls had no use for the family. They would be married
and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their
wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely
hard on girls.
Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal,
intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing
was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first
man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good
wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then
she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would
dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care
whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they
