Beauty has its price. Once vicitim, always victim, that's the law. Physical integrity is the only proof of purity. That's the way the world wants your body on the one hand, and on the other hand, after playing with your body, it imposes moral dogmas on you. Tess, a forbearing innocent and dignified woman. Forbearance, because she worked hard and did not complain, because the child died, she buried him silently. Naive, because she thought Angel would forgive that past. Dignified because she would rather be poor than accept Alex's gift. No one can compare hearts, especially men to women. You thought he would understand you and feel sorry for you when you told him about your past. No, he won't. He will only feel that in his heart, you are not so good, no longer pure. You will depreciate. (Alex may better understand that Tess is the initiator after all... ) I like the rural pastoral scenery, the details of labor, and the Stonehenge under the sunrise. Tess, the hope and despair that have nowhere to go in life, may be a victim of that era.
