It’s well-known that Thomas Hardy also creates a classical female character (Tess) in his famous novel- Tess of the D’Urbervilles. It’s obvious that those two writers both present their own understanding of feminist consciousness in their works. Therefore, this paper tries to conduct a comparative analysis between these two books on the basis of feminism differences. First, this paper aims to find out feminism differences between those two books from the perspective of characterization of main characters. Then, this paper will analyze such differences and then point out reasons in order to explain these differences.
