Features: Tess of the d'Urbervilles is a typical representation of Hardy's pessimistic fatalism. His works mostly depict people in love and marriage, who, after failing to achieve a happy life, fall into miserable circumstances yet never forget to struggle fiercely, but ultimately it's all in vain, even leading them to the brink of despair. Hardy was well-versed in Greek tragedies, but compared to them, his characters are more vivid and well-rounded, the plot is more reasonable, and it develops in an orderly manner. Therefore, the content in Hardy's novels is more convincing and impactful.
