The tragedy of Angel Klein

A band I was familiar with once sang a song with the male lead as the theme. The lyrics were roughly the male lead's simple and persistent thoughts, and a little selfishness. Therefore, when the male protagonist encounters emotional problems, the advantage is that he can have a dedicated and direct love life, but he cannot accept the collapse of the perfect object image in his heart. In the end, the male protagonist falls into a difficult dilemma.

Those who have seen the original book or the movie, the main focus is still on the tragedy of Tess's life. But my attention is on the different performances of the two people on the wedding night of the hero and heroine. The performance of the male protagonist may be the normal reaction of many ordinary men, but the blow to the female protagonist is devastating. The choice of life is only at that moment, and some choices determine the future life. Tess's tragedy is inevitable, and the tragedy of the male protagonist is finally redeemed.

    A remake not inferior to the original. The wretched cousin actually looks like Barrett, but the angel of the day has a little white face and doesn't understand what the heroine is after him.

Tess quotes

  • Alec d'Urberville: What are you crying for?

    Tess: I was only thinkin', I was born over there.

    Alec d'Urberville: Well, we all have to be born somewhere.

    Tess: Why, I wish I'd never been born. There or anywhere else.

    Alec d'Urberville: You're absurdly melancholy, Tess. You can hold your own for beauty against any woman, queen or commoner. I tell you that as a practical man who wishes you well. If you're wise, you'll let the world get a clearer sight of that beauty, before it fades. Why not make the most of life?

  • Girl in henhouse: You watch out for... the Bailiff. He's a devil. Not, Mr. Alec. He spends half his time on horseback and the rest of it chasin' the likes of us! Oh, his mother's a queer old soul; but, no real trouble. Tis a mercy for us she's blind!

    Tess: Mrs. d'Urberville's blind?

    Girl in henhouse: Stone blind! Their real name is Stokes!

    Tess: How's that?

    Girl in henhouse: Oh, Mr. Alec's father had the notion. He bought the name of an old distinguished family to make himself important.
