Tess's afterthought

Weston 2022-04-23 07:03:55

The concept of good and evil conveyed in Tess is complex. Tess is a murderer, but we can't hate her. It is such an image that we are accustomed to the concept of right and wrong, and the legal concept cannot convict such a woman. This is precisely because of her shining point, that is, the charm of her personality that cannot be ignored. She is kind, stubborn, unyielding, has a strong sense of responsibility and selfless and fearless love. Tess's tragedy was arranged by the author. "Good News" has a happy and fulfilling life, but her tragedy also makes this work great

    The best of the three adaptations I've seen, Kinsky played this pure and kind girl alive

    The movie is good (in the typical sense), but where is Polanski? I can see Dreyer burning silently in his films, but Polanski...I can't find him anywhere. At the heart of literature, does he escape when he needs to question himself?

Tess quotes

  • Angel Clare: I forgive you. But, forgiveness isn't all.

    Tess: Nor love me.

    Angel Clare: I can't help associating your lack of firmness with the decline of your family. Decrepit families imply deficient will power and decadent conduct. I thought you were a child of nature; but, you were the last in a line of degenerate aristocrats.

  • Angel Clare: Leave that! You're my wife, not my servant!

    Tess: I'm your wife? You don't want to live with me. You want to go, don't you?

    Angel Clare: I couldn't stay without despising myself. What is worse, without despising you. How can we live together while that man exists? He is your natural husband. Not I.
