Tess...Things that make you say humm
My English class has been anayalzing Tess. Here are some thoughts that made us say "humm..."1. Whenever Tess falls asleep, something negative usually happens. Example- Prince the horse dies, she gets raped by Alec
2. Alec's mansion appears perfect and flawless on the outside, but on the inside it isn't. There are icky birds and blindness on the inside
3. Tess's world has the appearance of innocence. Everything is clean, beautiful and untouched, just like she is in the beginning of the book.
Tess has had many downfalls in her life:
1. her father was a drunk(who died)
2. She was raped by her cousin(not blood, but still, gross)
3. She had a house full of kids
4. She worked on 2 farms, and one muddy field.
5. She had a baby who died
6. She got married and then lost that man soon after, due to her past
7. She became her cousins mistress, who abused her in many ways.
8. She killed her cousin.
9. She got arrested.
and more countless things... continue the list and revise mine, i love BRITISH LIT>!!!
