Rebellion and Cowardice
--------On Te of the d’Urbervilles
Thomas Hardy , novelist and poet, is one of the representatives of English critical realism at the turn of the 19th century.And Te of the d’Urbervilles is one of his most succeful novels.Hardy cannot solely be labeled as a Victorian novelist,nor can he only be categorized as a Moderist.As a traditional writer, Hardy was determined to explode the conventions of nineteenth-century literature and built a new kind of novel in its place.In many respects, Hardy was trapped in the middle ground between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, between Victorian sensibilities and more modern ones, and between tradition and innovation.1.Brief Introduction Te of the d’Urbervilles was published om 1891.It is generally regarded as Hardy’s tragic masterpiece, and certainly it is his most ambitious tragic novel.As a pure , loyal , intelligent, strikingly attractive young woman, Te is the central character of the novel.At the begining of this story,Te lived in a small village peacefully.Te’s father was a poor countryside hawker , who was lazy and constantly exceive drinking.Te’s mother was a dairymaid ,whose mind was very simple.They were pitiful creatures who were always feeling after the vanity.Just as such terrible parents became the setter of Te’s tragedy.Incidently, Te’s father discovered a link to the noble of the d’Urbervilled.Therefore, Te was sent to work at the d’Urbervilles mansion.And then,Te was seduced by a so-called gentleman----Alec.Unfortunatelly, her ideals cannot prevent her from sliding further and further into misfortune after she becomes pregnant.Forced by the goips and the church’s blame, Te thought she deserved nothing good.In order to get rid of the past, she decided to go to a distant diary farm but still thought she was of guilty.Maybe God didn’t approve of this, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart----Angel Chare.They loved each other deeply.Somehow, Te agreed to marry Angel.Soon after their wedding Angel confeed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Te’s forgivene.Te was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once;in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confe.She sat and told her past to Angel, and hoping to be forgiven.But she was wrong and Angel didn’t listen to her explanation at all.Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her.Alec found Te again and forced her to stay with him.At last, Te couldn’t bear it and killed Alec.Everything was changed.Te was arrested for her murder eventually.And this story was ended with the death of Te.2.Te’s rebellion
Te is a rebelled girl.First of all, she never yeilded to preure from the society.The contest between corruption and innocence takes place not only in a field, but also in the human’s heart.In Te’s life, there are two men----Alec and Angel.Both of them have a great influnence to change her fate.Te is a pure girl tangled up to the tragedy web which is delineated by the imposed fate.That is too unfair to accept by anyone.But Te never gives up.Alec is a devil young man who does everything he can to seduce Te when she works for his family.And he does not try to hide his evil.At the begining of this book, he promises to provide for the family that brings Te to “sell” herself to him.It is Alec who not only ruins Te’s virginity, but also destroys her happy life.Alec is not only sensual, but also arrogant and physically strong.He believes that winning a woman requires force, not affection and love.Disregarding Te’s revolution, Alec considers women as carnal objects rather than as equal human’s worthy of affection.Then, he believes he is different from the ancestors, since he has power over her while they do not but in fact he is just like them, using his power like a God although his is quite hollow.He promises empty advantages to her, like the wealth she eventually receives from him, that can never be more important than love.Facing Alec’s force, Te trys her best to rebel him.And, after the seducing, Te decided to leave Alec and work for a distant diary farm.She uses her action to prove her rebellion to the world.Secondly, Te kills Alec at last.This thing shows her rebellion again.When Te refuses to marry Alec despite the social advantage the match would give her, and refuses his offers of help because she does not sincerely love him, we see her as more than an unwitting victim: her integrity and courage make her heroic.Thus, in the latter part, as Angle returns with renewed loyalty and love for Te, it becomes apparent that Alec’s trick has considerably broken down Te’s loyalty to Angle.Torn apart, her shame and grief cause her violent side to explode;Te now kills her lover in a murderous rage out of love for her husband.Whether intentional or not, Te has fulfilled Angle’s proclamation that they cannot be together as long as Alec is alive.Her newfound activity may not save her;indeed, her punishment for the murder, presumably death by hanging, will snap her neck just like she snaps the necks of those pheasants.Neverthele, it may be preferable to her earlier paivity, providing her with a nobler way to face her fate.In a word, Alec of the representatives of the bourgeoisie, he has a bourgeois state apparatus, law, and ethics, as a backup.Wealth can rely on the law and not easily bullied and on the playing Te.Te and his contradictions, it can also be said that the workers are oppreed and the specific performance of the entire capitalist social contradictions.Te beginning of his attitude is very clear, she publicly declares his obnoxious.Later, at a farm, she puts up a struggle to him.Finally, she curses him to ruin her life.She ignores the bourgeois legality and morality, on the feelings of great anger to kill him.Her reaction is a heavy attack to the dark society.3.Te’s cowardice Te has a definitely rebeled charactor.at the same time, she is coward.This charactor is also showed on two aspects.First, her love for Angel.In great contract to Alec, Angel wins Te’s heart by sweet words and kindne.In fact, he is a more complicated person.As a typical nineteenth century progreive representative, Angel rejects the values handed to him, and sets off in search of his own.His disdain for tradition which is an independent spirit contributes to his aura of charisma and general attractivene.He thinks of this at the time of the British bourgeoisie humanitarian and historical conditions, bourgeois rule in a very brutal, very tragic life of the peasant cla, a certain progre is meaningle.However, it must be pointed out is that he has not really jump out of his area against the old moral values, He has not really despised from the cla prejudices.He decides to stand for the bourgeois ideology and his inevitable departure from the selfish interests.Although he goes to the farmers to learn farming techniques, but his real purpose is to the future.Although he claims to be independent judgment opinion, once the thing is a very crucial stage, he is still upholding the decadent bourgeois social customs and moral hypocrisy.Angel loves Te because he thinks that she is sweet and pure.Te’s denial of him shows she is concerned about her past.To Angel, her denial seems to signify that Te is even more virtuous than he thinks of.Somehow Te agrees to marry him.She is so afraid to lose her husband that makes her life restle all the time.Later on, when she knows a similar error in Angel’s past “eight-and forty hours” diipation with a stranger in London, she securely makes her confeion and hopes to get Angle’s forgivene.Te has thought although Angel didn’t find the letter under the carpet he can forgive her and then they will live a happy life together.But Angel, who proves himself more judgmental and inflexible than his parent, is blind by his failure to accept Te for who she really is.He takes Te’s transgreion as a personal attack on him, which makes him unable to see her clearly.The idealized, pure vision of Te is destroyed.Angel has the same past as Te’s, but he cannot forgive Te as Te forgives him.He no longer sees the woman he once has seen and has married only hours ago.For him, the lover who’s beloved has been transformed in his mind from the embodiment of purity into the tarnished reality of a fallen woman.Second, her second stay with Alec also presents her cowardice.While enduring the abanded life, as Te struggles with Alec’s temptation , her need for Angel, becomes more and more desparate.If Angel were to return to her and do his duty as her husband, her problems would greatly diminish.She writes to Angel and pleads that he not judges her on her irretrievable past.Te’s situation thus makes her very vulnerable to Alec’s persuasions.She is obviously heartbroken and needs to be loved more than ever.She is also distraught by her family’s ever-worsening financial situation.Alec’s reasoning seems more valid to Te than it has in the past.In a way, Te and Alec are similar in that they have both fallen and ask for forgivene for their indiscretions.After a long wait for Angel’s reply, but nothing, Te begins to realize that Alec may be her only hope.She gives up all hopes and becomes Alec’s mistre for the sake of her family.Te’ love is not given the spirit of transcendence and physical beauty, but with the lo of self-emaciated blind and miserable, unrealistic to imagine that there is no hope with the cheboard, and all are attributable to the self-destiny of the fate and helplene.Her life is not worthwhile to an attachment that her man and this is a profound tragedy.When she feels the opinions of all the sacrifices so insignificant, as all acts of levity, finally decides to angrily rebel.Of course, Te once expreed her plainne angrily by the last letter to Angel under a completely disappointed condition.4.Conclusion Te of d’Urbervilles is a great work.Te is one of Hardy’s most sympathetic protagonists.She is as likeable as a literary charactor found in all of English literature.Readers come to understand her plight and her acceptance of the seemingly inevitable things that happen to her.Not once during the novel does Te exhibit any traits that take away from Hardy's portrayal of her as a good person.As a result, by the end of the novel, we wish for a happy ending for Te and Angel, but we know that not all stories end on a positive note.Nowadays women’s situations have become much better.Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization.Just let those poor painful women like Te be just a memory.Te of
