苔丝英文读后感7

　　She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on herlife totally changed from this loss of innocence. People lookeddown on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothingwrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. Shewas just a girl when she first met that terrible man.Shewas forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for thisaccident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to getrid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but wasstill saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agreewith that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with herwhole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to herbut she refused him without saying why. She said she loved himdeeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than shedid but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angelwasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to winTess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soonafter their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to awoman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was notat all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was ratherhappy and excited for she also had things to confess.Shesat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as hewas forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as shethought she was. The woman pays.WithoutAngel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’timportant now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-calledgentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went backto her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he regretted what hehad done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alechad always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he wonTess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.!Everything was too late!Tesswas deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh ofher love was so strong that she had forgotten the differencebetween right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong butwhen she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became acriminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the goodwife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful.Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not onlyon what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!Tessdidn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defendherself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also didthe wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime butHE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Whythey are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why doesthe wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin thegood? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak!Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have alwaysbeen treated unfairly!Inold China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as humanbeings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, hewould probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some eldersisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are notincluded!”Peoplegave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep thefamily name going. They thought girls had no use for the family.They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home andbe their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremelyhard on girls.Girlsshould be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuousand the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If herhusband 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 shewould gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go nearher. What about men? People did not care whether he was anexperienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. Theythought man equals power and power equals rights…Nowlet’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have becomemuch better. Some are because of the change of society and some arebecause of civilization. Just let those poor painful women likeTESS be just a memory.

苔丝英文读后感8

　　The book, Tess of the d" Urbervilles, is a tragic of a pure and poor girl. When I put down this book, I was in tears. I just wanted to ask, Angel, why did you treat her like this?

　　I could imagine such a terrible night when Tess lost her way in a dark and silent wood. The What she faced was a b man and she hadn" t known how dangerous the man could be. She was so weak that she was unable to resist him. No one could come up in time to help her. Eventually, beauty was damaged by ugliness. Why did the wrong man take the wrong woman? Angel, it was the time you saved her but where were you at that time? The Maybe as the old saying said It was to be. The Then it was the start of Tess’s tragic.

　　The social rule made her feel guilty and want to die. Unfortunately, her father just thought that she brought shame upon his noble name. No one could comfort her broken heart except herself. She kept all the people out her house and stayed alone and wanted to do heavy things to forget her past. The I was very happy to see that she knew such a thing shouldn’t prevent her from living an useful life. It was previous for her to have the courage to continue her life.

　　When Tess fell in love with Angel, the she tried to hide her love because she thought she hadn" t had the right to get true love. But Angel, the man who loved her deeply, conquered her. However, when Tess told him her dismal past with great care, he couldn’t understand her and at last, he left her. So poor was Tess that when she wanted to be understood and forgave , she was pushed to abysm by the person she loved deeply .It was like adding more salt to the hurts of a broken heart. She was pious to everything about Angel. she could remember every sentence he said, and she learned to sing the songs he was fond of. Even when she was hurt by him, she didn’t hate him. When Angel was walking in sleep, she could choose to fall into the river to die with him but she didn’t do that because she knew she had no right to take his life. You can image how kind a girl she was.

　　Her love was great, unselfish and pure .The real purity came from her mind, not her appearance .Even if she was a ordinary and plain girl ,I thought Angel would love her as well. When Angel was reminded that Tess would have laid down her life for you，he suddenly realized his prejudice and narrowness .But it was too late. Tess was already in deep desperation and became Alec’s wife. When she realized she was cheated by Alec again, she was full of anger. She came to the end of her endurance so she killed Alec d’Urberville, the person who damaged her happiness for life.

　　They spent the last five day together .It was the most previous period during their life because Tess was going to be sentenced to death several days later. If Angel were brave enough to accept Tess’s past, they would live a happy life now. But he didn’t cherish Tess’s true love until he lost it forever. It was already useless for him to regret. Late, too late!

　　If you love a person deeply,then to accept his or her past, or you ’ll lose your true love for life. That’s the experience I learnt from the book.
