Tess of the durbervilles by Thomas-Hardy6/21/2023 ![]() The book is written in very traditional and, at times, hard to understand English. Many of the other characters are also complex, and I think that the way Hardy portayed and developed them all was one of my favourite parts of the book. By the end of the book she had earned my respect and I really felt like she had grown and become a much stronger individual. Obviously you can't help but feel sorry her - some truly awful things fall upon her - however I don't think I felt as sympathetic towards her as many other people have and will. I found her weak and irritating, wondering why she could never just take control of a situation, stand up for what she believed in or do something for herself. ![]() By the end of the book I felt like I could really relate to her and understand her, however at the start of the book I felt very differently. ![]() Tess Durbeyfield is the main character in the book and you see her grow as a person over several years. Tess of the D'urbervilles is an epic tale telling the tragic life of Tess Durbeyfield and her disasters in love, her tear-wrenching experiences with death and her painstaking efforts to grow into a 'proper' woman. ![]()
