Features: Due to having no means of living, Tess was arranged by her parents to go to the d'Urberville family to claim kinship. However, d'Urberville turned out to be a fake capitalist. The son of Mrs. d'Urberville, Alec, was a playboy who took the opportunity to humiliate Tess. Tess resolutely left the d'Urberville family. She met the son of a Low Church clergyman, Clare. On their wedding night, Tess confessed her experiences, but Clare turned cruel and abandoned her, going alone to Brazil. While wandering, she encountered the hypocritical follower Alec again. Forced by livelihood, she returned to his side. Clare's experiences in Brazil led him to realize his mistakes and return to search for Tess. Clare's arrival threw Tess into conflict. After arguing with Alec, driven by despair, she killed him. Subsequently, she and Clare spent several days of magical escape in the wilderness. One morning in July, a black flag for execution slowly rose on the high pole of the city prison tower, and Clare carried this regret for life.
