苔丝英文读后感》苔丝英文读后感(一):《苔丝》英文读后感She was seduced by a so-called gentleman ― Alec ,and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence 。
People looked down onher and respected her no more 。
Actually she did nothing wrong becausebefore she was seduced she knew nothing of men 。
She was just a girl whenshe first met that terrible man 。
She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident ,so she thought she deserved nothing good。
In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong 。
Maybe God didnt agree with that ,because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life ― Angel Chare 。
Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why。
She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason 。
Angel wasnt satisfied withthis vague answer and did his best towin Tess 。
Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day 。
Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he mitted to a woman long time ago and asked for Tesss forgiveness 。
Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess 。
She sat and told everything to Angel ,hoping he would forgive heras he was forgiven but she was wrong 。
She was not forgiven ,not as she thought she was 。
The woman pays 。
Without Angels love ,nothing meant anything to her 。
The result wasnt important now 。
Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman 。
Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness ,after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess ,she was desperate 。
That was too late― Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never e back so he won Tesss trust 。
Unluckily Angel did e back and found Tess 。
! Everything was too late!Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong 。
Before thatshe had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec ,everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible 。
Her whole character was honest and faithful 。
Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!Tess didnt want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and thats all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tesss crime but HE was not blamed for it 。
Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tesss girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman?Whydo the bad often ruin the good? Whyis beauty damaged by ugliness? Womenare too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!In old China there was a culture ,which didnt think of womenas human beings 。
If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family ,he would probably answer the oldest one even if he had some elder sisters 。
If youasked why then he would say ,Ha,they are not included!People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family namegoing 。
They thought girls had no use for the family 。
They would be married and go to live with their husbands home and be their wives some day sooner or later 。
So they were extremely hard on girls 。
Girls should be hard working ,faithful ,loyal ,intelligent ,and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl , a good wife no matter how she thought 。
If she wasnt ,then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her 。
What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not,nor did they care about his character 。
They thought manequals power and power equals rightsNow lets not be so bitter 。
Nowadays womenssituations have bee much better 。
Some are because of the change of society and some are becauseof civilization。
Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just amemory。
