苔丝的秘密

The Secret of Tess

分析了苔丝在告诉克莱尔自己曾被强暴的秘密之前的矛盾心理,并对苔丝不告诉克莱尔这个秘密进行了假设。通过对该假设与苔丝最终告诉克莱尔秘密后的结果进行比较研究,分析了哈代描写这个情节的目的所在,并最终揭示出造成这一悲剧的罪魁祸首是资产阶级不合理的婚姻、道德制度以及宗教的伪善。

This paper analyzes the contradictory psychological movement of Tess before she tells her secret to Clare and makes a supposition of a possible ending if Tess does not tell Clare in comparison with the ending as the novel goes. Through the comparison, the paper also tries to give the possible reasons and significance that Hardy wrote the episode in the novel. At the end of the paper, it concludes that the whole tragedy is caused by the unreasonable marriage and moral system and the hypocrisy of religion.
