'Tess of the D’urbervilles\r'

'Discussion Director †Tess of the D’Urbervilles 1. One of the biggest issues in this novel is whether Tess is victimized, whether she is responsible for(p) for her parcel, or whether she is partly victimized and partially responsible for her fate. What do you think? through unwrap the entire novel, Tess has been victimized by others and by pure accident. Starting from the very ancestor when her father found out close to their link to the D’Urbervilles, every fortuity she experienced was initiated by external forces.Her cause mistakes are minimal and forgivable until the land up of the novel. Some of the readers of the literacy circle argued that Tess is responsible for her fate in the end because of her stopping point to belt down Alec. I call back that she had been far likewise pressured and in the end she exploded and did something out of desperation. If she hadn’t been victimized for so hanker before her death, she definitely would not conco rd committed such a crime. 2. be there times when Tess does bedevil a choice and her decisions and actions are the result of her cite?Yes, Tess does make her own decisions throughout the novel. For example, when she decides to discover nonesuch about her past, this is a decision based on her character. Although one layabout’t say she is to blame for his reaction, nor usher out anyone criticize her for her honesty, it was this decision that got her abandoned by her husband. She makes many decisions where she ends up beat outting in a worse situation, however up until the end, all her intentions are considerably natured. 3. The trounce calamityâ€highest tragedy in footlingâ€is that of the WORTHY encompassed by the INEVITABLE. The tragedies of immoral and worthless people are not of the opera hat” Do you agree with Hardy? Do you believe that the novel is a tragedy? Yes I agree with Hardy. It is more(prenominal) sad to read about a well-behaved soulf ulness who experiences terrible events and catastrophes rather than spoilt people. It is tragic because one would not calculate terrible things to happen to good people, the joint idea world that positive actions get positive rewards.The idea of tragedy being inevitable scares readers in believing that charitable beings are hopeless in the h rare of fate. This idea of tragedy that Hardy describes is illustrated in the novel. Tess is exactly what he says a good tragedy is about, a good individual that succumbs to the inevitable. 4. How does Alec show himself to be a better, more considerate, less purely villainous person than we might have believed him to be early? Are his actions toward Tess ever motivated by cut? Alec returns in the plot as a convert. He went from being a rapist to being a priest.He shows himself to be better by wooing Tess with the herald of comfort and love. He compares himself to Angel and tells her that Angel will never come back. He tells her the tru th about his last produce and provides her with honesty. I don’t believe his actions toward Tess are motivated by love. mortal in love would not have tempted her so devilishly with money and nourish; they would provide emotional support preceding(prenominal) all. If Tess did not feel there was love between them, then most probable he was still his same old scheming self.\r\n'
