Thomas Hardys Tess Of The Durbervilles Essay -- Thomas Hardy Tess Dur

Thomas Hardys Tess Of The DurbervillesIn this essay I will contrast and explain the description of FlintcombAsh and Tolbothays Dairy. These both places are very strategic, becauseeach place shows an important time in Tess heart. Hardy usesTolbothays Dairy to represent the love and happiness she found and thechance for a new beginning after what happened with Alec. Alec rapedher, he saw her as an object of desire. He took away her innocence.This was replaced with the burden of a child that dies. At this time,having a child out of wedlock was a form of public shame. Incomparison, Flintcomb ash is where she was unhappy and shows us theaudience a time of hard ship. Tess goes to Tolbothays because shecannot cheek any one in her own town, this is because Alec raped her.Then her baby dies her mother might have been partly to blame for therape because she dressed her as an object of desire, because of allthis happening Tess leaves and goes to Tolbothays Dairy there shehopes to start over again. Flintcomb Ash is a farm, She is forced tofind work as a leave behind of her husband (Angle) leaving her and going toBrazil.When Tess arrives at Talbothays she is feeling that there is greatoptimism and hope for the future.

One of which was full oflove with Angle, happiness and sunny days spent at Talbothays. But intotal opposite to this she also spent an evenly important part of herlife at Flintcomb - Ash. Where she felt nothing but pain and sufferingin the long cold hard months she spent there, to succumb an image of herbreak up with Angel and the thought that she may be left with a futureof suffering compared with what she could have had at Talbothays.
