"Tess": I only follow what I love.

In any case, Alec is a good guy.
From the beginning, he took a special care of the cousin who came to recognize
her : picking strawberries for her and putting flowers on her.

Although his looks are not good enough.
But if all virtues can be judged by looks, then virtues are too simple to identify.

He let Tess get pregnant when she was unmarried, and he sincerely proposed to Tess.
Although his proposal seemed late in that era.

But in that situation,
how could he not leaned over to the end and leaned over to love: the
soft moonlight at night, the silent forest, all kinds of insects and birds were asleep happily.
What's more, in the days before, he always looked at her near Tess?

When Tess was about to leave, he praised her beauty and felt that Tess should not stay in the closed country.
When Tess was left behind by Claire, he did everything possible to help her and married her.

However, the love of women does not come for good.
Tess loved Claire deeply. Even when Claire left her because she couldn't tolerate her unmarried pregnancy experience. She loved him too, ignoring the kindness that Alec was full of beside her.

It is true that a woman's love does not come for good,
but if the love is too far away, she can't wait.

After being unable to hear from Claire for a long time, Tess and Alec were together.
However, once a woman's love came, she was also with love:
she killed the innocent Alec, and
she and Claire lived a fugitive life.

When she fell asleep on the cold rock,
when the police were around her waiting to arrest her,
she had already loved it.

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.
