Abstract

Tess of the D'Urbervilles, as a novel by Thomas Hardy, shows a human tragedy through the tragic characters of Tess. There are many similarities between the background and theme of the story and Shen Congwen's Border Town. The tragic fate of Tess and Cuicui reflects the author's discontent with the real society and the consciousness of women's independence. From the two heroines'independent consciousness and resistance to patriarchal society, this paper makes a comparison between the two novels, and excavates their deep ideological consciousness from Tess and Cuicui's brave and strong character and rebellious consciousness, as well as the two heroines' different choices under patriarchal oppression. Through the love tragedy of the two characters Tess and Cuicui, this paper aims to explore and analyze the independent consciousness and the resistance to patriarchal society in the two works within the framework of the oppression of women and the resistance to patriarchal society in the old society. In recent years, with the advocacy of women's rights and the rise of women's independent consciousness, new perspectives and concepts have been provided for literary criticism. Through the analysis of the two works from the perspective of the heroine's independent consciousness and the resistance to patriarchal society, this paper uses the method of comparative analysis to help readers realize the importance of respecting women and reflect on patriarchal ideology.

A Critical Study of Female Consciousness of Tess and Cuicui

Introduction

Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) is a famous British novelist and he was born in England. After becoming famous, Hardy lives in and out of the upper class and often lives in continental Europe, but he still spends most of his life in his hometown. Most of his novels are set in his village and town. Hardy's last two works, Tess of the D’Urbervilles and Jude the obscure, are strongly criticized by critics, so that Hardy is very tired of these criticisms that he gives up his novel creation and turns to poetry. Tess of the D’Urbervilles mercilessly exposes the hypocritical ethics of bourgeois society and strongly condemned capitalism. As early as 1958, Jude the Obscure, one of Thomas Hardy's representative works, appeared in China (translated by Zhang Guruo, Chinese People’s Publishing House). Shen Congwen (1902-1988) is a Chinese novelist with advanced ideas. Because of his experience, most of his novels are related to water. Such "pastoral novels" as Border Town, against the background of human feelings, nature and customs in Xiangxi, aim to show simple human nature and life modality. There are also people in the fate of the variables in the face of helplessness and helpless sadness. Shen Congwen's Border Town with its unique simple, plain style to describe the human state of the countryside, has been loved by the Chinese people.

In 2004, Tian Jiangli's "Tess’s Image Analysis in Tess of the D'Urbervilles" in Literary Observation analyzes the causes of Tess's tragedy from the feminist point of view.

This paper analyzes Thomas Hardy's portrayal of the heroine Tess in Tess of the D’Urbervilles. Starting with Christian feminism. Faezeh expresses Hardy's intention to portray Tess as a character and expresses Hardy's awakening of feminism through Tess. Feminism in this article includes the awakening of female consciousness.
