7、pter, my feelings are as following.First, this story takes place in the 19 century, the society is dark .It exposes the fact that the men such as the wealthy man are not responsible and treat women maliciously so that make women suffer from sorrow and agony.Second, it discloses that there is a big d

8、isparity between the rich and the poor.Because of the disparity, it causes the people such as Tes mother who admire power and money but ignore the dignity and grace of humanity.Finally, Te as a fragile woman in this unfair society, her suffering is sympathetic.We should praise his innocence that is

9、rarely seen in that age and courage to fight against the darkne of society.Chapter Two- After a few weeks of confused dalliance with Alec, Te begins to stay away from him.Against his wishes, Te goes home, where she keeps almost entirely to her room.The next summer, she gives birth to a boy, who live

12、 required at a dairy-house many miles to the south. From this chapter, I just feel womens weakne in that dark society again.Te, always as an innocent woman , is cheated by the so-called gentle man who takes advantage of her innocence.Te born a baby when she is in a so young age, and whats worse, she

13、 is forced by the goips and the church to blame herself for the accident; she cannot obtain others forgivene but abuse for her miserable suffering.Her baby dies young but there is no one helping her gets rid of such sadne and the church refuses to give a funeral rite for her baby.Everyone is indiffe

14、rent to what happens to Te.All of these completely depre Te and she is forced to leave her home.However, although Te suffers from so many hardships, she never gives in her fate and still chooses to bravely face all tribulations.Her love for her child is so great that make us expre admiration for her

15、.Actually, I show great sympathy to this pitiful woman who becomes a victim of that age.Chapter There- More than two years after the Trantridge be back, Te is ready to make a new start.She seeks employment outside the village, where her past as the letter she receives says, working for the Mr.Click.

16、There, she meets three fellow milkmaids just as her.They sleep in the same room, eat together, and work together.The life they lived at a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.However, a handsome man, Angle Clare, who is now a apprentice farmer and has come to here to learn diary management, breaking up thi

17、s peaceful life of these milkmaids.They are sick with love for this charming man instead of Te who is so quite that cannot attract others attention though she is so beautiful.One day, people have a diner being together, they just talk about whether the soul of human beings can get out of their bodie

18、s.Te addrees her special opinion with a lovely voice, which makes Angle start to pay attention to this beautiful and familiar woman who he has already met at that dancing party.Te often hear that there is someone playing the flute and that make her very curious about who is it.After her explosion, s

19、he finds the one is Angle Clare.Angle is really attracted by Te for her beautiful appearance and pure heart.He constantly exprees his good feels to Te, and as time goes by, they gradually fall in love each other. At the beginning of this chapter, we see that Te starts her new life in a farm, making

20、a living for her poor family; this reveals a fact that the poor always live in the low rung of society, compared with the rich who are addicted in a pleasure and ignore sorrow of the poor.Whats more, we just happily see that Tes positive attitude towards life bring her a bright and time.Her beauty,

21、her innocence, and her persistence all attract the gentle man, Angle Clare.And they love each other and live a happy life in the farm. Reading this chapter, I observe Tes transient happine in her life that is as reward for her honesty and kindne, so I learn from her that whatever difficulties we wil

22、l meet in our life, we need a positive attitude and keep a brief that never say die.Living in a peaceful age, we are lucky, so we should cherish what we poe now and make great efforts to do what we want to do, and finally achieve our goal of life. Chapter Four- Angle spends a few days away from the

23、diary visiting his family at Emminster, his brothers ordain minister both, note Angles coarsened manners, while Angle considers his brothers staid and narrow minded.Following evening Prayers, Angle discues his marriage prospects with his parents.His parents hope that Angle would marry Mercy Chant, a

24、 pure woman.But Angle argues that a wife can help him manage his own farm later.Then Angle tells his parents about Te and they agree to meet her.The next day, Angle returns to the farm and cant wait to tell Te about what his purpose to get back home.Angle has deeply gone into his heart and he asks T

25、e to marry to him.After hearing Angles words, Te feels very surprised and happy , but it also mingles with fear and uneasine.Recalling her terrible past, she thinks that she is not good for Angle, a perfect man.Therefore, she declines his suggestion unwillingly and painfully.Angle is very sad after

26、he heard Tes refusal out of his expectation, so he ask her that whether she loves him.The answer of Te is Yes, which causes Angles confusion for this complicate situation.However, Angle still uses his persistence to move Te; finally his persistence is in return and Te accepts his proposal.As the mar

27、riage approaches, Te grows increasingly troubled, so she writes to her mother for advice.Her mother tells her just keep it as a secret .Her anxiety increases constantly; she resolves to deceive Angle any more, and she write a letter describing her past , then she put the letter under his door.The ne

28、xt morning, she discovers that the letter is put under his carpet after Angle greets her with the usual affection.At this time, she just destroys the letter. My reflections are as following after reading this chapter. Angle pursues his beloved Te with his perseverance, although there is a big dispar

29、ity between their families.Why dose he do this? I just think the answer is that he has a very definite aim, and he knows what he really need.Compared Angle with us, we lack his courage and persistence , we usually choose to give up when there is a few difficulties hindering us.Therefore, if we want

30、to catch the hand of succe, a exact aim and a considerable plan are required.Furthermore, we see that Te is suffering from torment when Angle asks her to marry to him.From this point, a fact that we have to be responsible for our mistakes really exists, though sometimes you make them arent on purpos

31、e.Therefore, we have to be careful about what we are doing now, and just try our best to reduce the poibilities of making mistakes. Chapter Five- The weeding goes smoothly although a bad omen of a cock crowing in the afternoon is noticed by Te.Te and Angle spend their honeymoon at an old dUrberville

32、s family mansion, where Angle presents his bride with some beautiful diamonds that belonged to his grandmother.When Te witnees all of things his husband does, she feels surely that Angle will forgive her own indiscretion, and finally tells him all the truth and her relationship with Alec.Angle , how

33、ever, after hearing what Te tells about, he is so surprised and feels appalled by Tes confeion, and spends the weeding night on a sofa.Te see the changes of Angle, she asks Angle to forgive her because she loves him so much.But it doesnt work, and she finally accepts the sudden estrangement as somet

34、hing she deserves.After a few awkward days, she suggests the separate, saying that she will return to her parents.Angle gives her some money and promise to try to forgive her past, but he warms her not to try to join him until her sends for her.After a quick visit to his parents, Angle goes to Brazi

35、l to start a new life.Before he leaves, he encounters one of the milkmaids in the farm and asks her to come to Brazil with him.She accepts happily, but when he asks how much she loves him, she admits that nobody can love him than Te who is willing to lay down her life for him.Hearing what she says,

36、he abandons her idea he came up with just now, and walks away alone. This chapter exprees us a tragedy.After Te tells Angle all the truth, the latter cannot forgive her and leave off her.I just want to ask why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is the beauty damaged by ugline? Women are too weak! T

37、e always endures sorrow and sadne.She takes the risk of losing her lover, but she eventually pays for her honesty and kindne.Women are always supposed to be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent and virtuous.If women break down one of these, they may gain a very bad reputation and accept punish

38、ment.Women cannot acquire the same rights as men.In todays society, there is still the same problem, as a woman, we want others to respect us and prove our abilities.Te, who lives in a capitalist society, becomes the victim of the society.So it is obvious that a good institution is very important, t

39、he government should optimize the institution and help people live a happy life. Chapter Six to Eight- Alec and Te are each shaken by their encounter, and Alec begs Te never to tempt him again.However, Alec soon comes to Flintcomb-Ash to ask Te to marry him.She tells him she is already married.He re

40、turns again in early spring, when Te is hard at work feeding a threshing machine.He tells her he is no longer a preacher and wants her to be with him.She slaps him when he insults Angel, drawing blood.Te then learns from her sister, Liza-Lu, that her father, John, is ill and that her mother is dying

41、.Te rushes home to look after them.Her mother soon recovers, but her father unexpectedly dies. The family is evicted from their home, and at the same time Alec tells Te that her husband is never coming back and offers to house the Durbeyfields on his estate.Te refuses his aistance.She has earlier wr

42、itten Angel a letter, full of love, , and pleas for mercy; now, however, she finally admits to herself that Angel has wronged her and scribbles a hasty note saying that she will do all she can to forget him, since he has treated her so unjustly. The Durbeyfields plan to rent some rooms in the town o

43、f Kingsbere, old home of the dUrbervilles, but they arrive there to find that the rooms have already been rented to another family.Te enters the church and in the dUrberville Aisle, Alec reappears and importunes Te again.In despair, she looks at the entrance to the dUrberville vault and wonders alou

44、d, Why am I on the wrong side of this door? In the meantime, Angel has been very ill in Brazil and, his farming venture having failed, he heads home to England.And Angel begins to repent his treatment of Te. Upon his return to his family home, Angel has two letters waiting for him from Te.After read

45、ing the letters, he sets out to find Te and eventually locates Joan, now well-dreed and living in a pleasant cottage.After responding evasively to his enquiries, she finally tells him where her daughter is now.There, he finds Te living in an expensive house under the name Mrs.dUrberville. When he as

46、ks for her, she appears and feels so surprised.He tenderly asks her forgivene, but Te, in anguish, tells him he has come too late; thinking he would never return, she yielded at last to Alec dUrbervilles persuasion and has become his mistre.She gently asks Angel to leave and never come back.He depar

47、ts, and Te returns to her bedroom, where she falls to her knees and begins a lamentation.She blames Alec for causing her to lose Angels love a second time, accusing Alec of having lied when he said that Angel would never return to her. Te feels that she is cheated again by Aleck, with a great anger

48、in her heart, she killed Aleck and leave away.His servant finds his death and calls a person to help her.Angel, totally disheartened, has left Sandbourne; Te hurries after him and tells him that she has killed Alec, saying that she hopes she has won his forgivene by murdering the man who ruined both

49、 their lives.Angel doesnt believe her at first, but grants his forgivene as she is in such a fevered state and tells her that he loves her.Rather than head for the coast, they walk inland, vaguely planning to hide somewhere until the search for Te is ended and they can escape abroad from a port.They find an empty mansion and stay there for five days in happine, until their presence is discovered one day by
