Feministic analysis of Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy

Abstract

Thomas Hardy, an English author of critical realism, wrote a feminist novel called Tess of the D'Urbevilles. Tess of the d'Urbervilles will be examined in this essay using the characteristics of the characters, their social context, and their ancient, traditional religion. In the article, the causes of Tess's suppression and fate are introduced. These factors include the key characters' contradictory morals, unfair laws, and the downturn of capitalism. Tess is just one of the people that are grieving. Tess demonstrates the low position of women while also encouraging us to cultivate a rebellious spirit and a habit of financial independence.
