苔丝英文版经典句子
给你10句经典的引语:
1.“You are the lineal representative of the ancient and knightly family of the d’Urbervilles, who derive their descent from Sir Pagan d’Urberville, that renowned knight who came from Normandy with William the Conqueror, as appears by Battle Abbey Roll?( P. 5 Parson Twingham plants the idea in John Durbeyfield’s mind that he and his family are better than their neighbors and thus begins Tess’s path toward destruction.)
2. “Tess Durbeyfield at this time of her life was a mere vessel of emotion untinctured by experience.”(P.13 At the beginning of the novel, Tess is angry when the villagers attempt to make fun of her prideful father riding home in a hired cart he can’t afford. In a state of heightened emotion, she tells her friends that she will no longer talk to them if they laugh at Durbeyfield. From the beginning, Tess demonstrates great love for her family. She will defend them to the death.)
3. “I don’t know; but I think so. They sometimes seem to be like the apples on our stubbard-tree, most of them splendid and sound—a few blighted.” (P.31 As the youngsters ride along at night to market, Tess pessimistically explains to her younger brother Abraham that stars are indeed worlds and that they have the misfortune to live on a blighted star and that this explains all their family’s misfortunes)
4. “By this time every couple had been suitable matched…an inner cloud of st rose around the prostate figures.”(P. 68 Unlike Car Darch and the other crude working women, Tess keeps herself pure and apart from drinking and sexual activity. However, as Hardy would have it, despite her efforts, Tess’s fate insures that she will fail to preserve her chastity after she rides off with Alec d’Urberville into the woods.)
5.“I wish I had never been born--there or anywhere else. “(P. 87 Tess says this to Alec d’Urberville after he has seced her and she feels forced to return home to Marlott in disgrace. She will make this wish over and over throughout the novel until she finally gets her wish.)
6. “Perhaps, of all things, a lie on this thing would do the most good to me now; but I have honour enough left, little as ‘tis, not to tell that lie.” (P. 89 After a month with Alec d’Urberville, Tess realizes she must leave him. Although it would serve her well financially to tell d’Urberville she is in love with him, Tess maintains her honor by leaving him and not becoming his paid mistress.)
7. “`Dead! dead! dead!’” he murmured. After fixedly regarding her for some moments with the same gaze of unmeasurable woe he bent lower, enclosed her in his arms, and rolled her in the sheet as in a shroud. Then lifting her from the bed with as much respect as one would show to a dead body, he carried her across the room, murmuring, ‘My poor, poor Tess, my dearest darling Tess! So sweet, so good, so true!’” (P. 279 After telling him of her secret past, Tess finds Angel sleepwalking and looming over her in the dark. Pride keeps Angel from accepting and loving Tess, yet unconsciously he remains deeply in love with her and understands her reasoning for not telling him the truth. This scene foreshadows Tess’s early death.)
8. “Under the trees several pheasants lay about, their rich plumage dabbled with blood; some were dead, some feebly twitching a wing…Tess’s first thought was to put the still living birds out of their torture, and to this end with her own hands she broke the necks of as many as she could find… ‘Poor darlings—to suppose myself the most miserable being on earth in the sight o’ such misery as yours!’ she exclaimed, her tears running down as she killed the birds tenderly.” (P. 312 After changing her mind about asking Angel’s parents for help, Tess despairs after spending the night outdoors. In the morning she spies the dead and dying pheasants and experiences an affinity for the tortured birds. Then, despite her tortured life at Flintcomb-Ash, she optimistically rallies and realizes that compared with the birds, her life is not bad. Despite her attempts to remain optimistic, however, Hardy’s pessimistic views insure that Tess is doomed and that the birds’ wrung necks foreshadow her own death by hanging.
9. “His father too was shocked to see him. So reced was that figure from its former contours by worry…you could see the skeleton behind the man and almost the ghost behind the skeleton.” (P. 416 Like his forlorn wife Tess, Angel Clare also undergoes great mental and physical hardship when he is separated from her in Brazil. The price of forgoing his immature judgmental ways comes at great personal cost.)
10. “Justice was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Aeschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess.” (P. 447 The Greek dramatist Aeschylus wrote tragedies. Like Aeschylus’s characters, Tess ultimately had no control over her life. Her actions were fate-driven, predestined, determined solely by the whim, or the sport, of the gods.)

苔丝悲剧形象分析
出身的悲剧
在小说的一开始,作者借崇干牧师之口说出女主人公苔丝系英国中古时期赫赫有名的武士世家德伯氏的嫡系后裔。但是她的家族,早在故事展开的六七十年以前就家破人亡了。而且正像作家在书中所发的感慨那样“诺曼的血统,没有维多利亚王朝的财富作辅助,又算得了什么!”⑴显贵的出身并没有给苔丝带来任何好处,她的悲剧却由此开始了。
苔丝的父亲是一个贫苦的乡下小贩,生性懒惰、一味酗酒且愚昧无知,苔丝的母亲过去是一个挤奶女工,她邋遢迷信、头脑简单。图慕虚荣的他们都是听凭时代风雨恣意摧残的小人物、可怜虫。正是这样一对糟糕的父母成为苔丝悲剧的始作俑者。
为了显摆自己所谓的“贵族”身份,为了满足卑微的虚荣心,苔丝的父母妄想通过“认亲”、“联姻”的方式来提升自己的地位。尽管苔丝厌恶父母的虚伪,鄙视高贵的出身,坚持认为自己是农家的女而,是靠自己的劳动而生活的,但是她是家中的老大,父母的无能使沉重的家庭负担过早的落在她的身上。她深情的爱恋着她的弟妹们,不忍心看他们受苦。当家中的那匹赖以生存的老马不幸死去时,苔丝遵从母命极不情愿的去投奔有钱的冒牌本家。结果横遭蹂躏。成了兽欲的牺牲品和礼教的罪人。后来,她又为了家庭背井离乡,到处瓢泊,历尽沧桑,在山穷水尽之时。还是为了家庭,重回到亚雷身边。以自己的肉体换取家人的温饱。
上帝赐给苔丝一个贵妇人的灵魂,让她纤尘不染,超凡脱俗,而现实却给了她一个落魄的出身。让她无力摆脱尘世间的种种纷扰。这种灵与肉的极度不和谐。导致了苔丝的悲剧的命运。
性格的悲剧
每个悲剧的主人公都会有自然性格和社会性格。那么什么是自然性格和社会性格呢?自然性格是指人类作为自然的一种内在品质、人性品质的集合:社会性格则是指人的内在品性在繁复的社会关系中的延伸、发展、变化,甚至于扭曲的综合体。
苔丝的自然性格集中反映了人性的勤劳和勇敢。她从一个一无所知的乡村姑娘到最后一个敢于践踏人间正义的“杀人犯”,无不折射着人性勇敢向善的品质。苔丝的美丽和气质与大自然无比和谐,她是“大自然的女儿”。她如一棵小草自由的生长在率真的田野上。她未经世俗浸染的心灵善良而富有同情心。从来连一个苍蝇,一只小虫都不忍心伤害,连一只小鸟关在笼子里都叫她落泪。苔丝的这种性格决定了她没有能力保护自己,毫不设防的袒露自己,而又要付出超出她承受力的努力。她命运的悲剧性早就定下了基调,而悲剧的发生只是一个时间问题或表现形式可能不同而已。苔丝还有一个很隐性的本性,就是她对生存的渴望和热爱,一种威塞克人最淳朴的情怀。
苔丝经历了人际关系的重大变故。她的社会性格具有明显的双重性——反抗与妥协。苔丝虽然处境艰难,但她不懦弱。苔丝是父母攀认德伯家族联姻的筹码。这场确认血亲的交易葬送了苔丝的贞洁。还造成了苔丝对自身本性的怀疑,对生活信念的动摇,从此苔丝“差不多从头脑简单的女孩子,一跃而成为思想复杂的妇人了”(145页)联姻的设想破灭,苔丝的内心在发问“女人的贞节,真的一次失去了,就永远失去了吗?……一切有机体都有恢复本原的能力,为什么单单处女的贞节就不该有这种能力?”(164页)“为什么太阳在歹人和好人身上,一样的照耀?”(184页)就连作者也忍不住跳出来问道:“为什么往往是在这种情况下,粗野鄙陋的偏把精妙细致的据为己有呢?”对待恶少亚雷,苔丝一直在顽强的反抗。尽管她成了一个失身的女人,但她自始至终都对亚雷抱着一种不容侵犯的态度。她放弃了本可以享受的安逸的生活,孤身一人抚养孩子。周围歧视的眼光并没有把她吓倒,她默默地忍受生活的不公正。为了使生下的孩子死后得以安宁,她不顾亵渎教规,自己动手给孩子施洗礼。尽管生活给予她的只是打击和灾难,但她都能顽强地忍受和承担,从不对生活提出过分的要求。苔丝第二次遇到亚雷,也正是她生活最为艰难的时候。面对亚雷的种种诱惑,她根本不为所动,甚至“揪着手套的后部,一直朝他的脸忿忿的抡去……手套打到的地方,露出一道见了血的红印子,一会儿血就流下来了,从嘴上滴到麦捆上。”(461页)这是多么强有力的反抗!苔丝是不肯妥协的。
灾难降临了,苔丝的父亲故去,苔丝一家被赶出村子。为了母亲和弟妹们有一个安身之所,苔丝又一次委身于亚雷。但她的抗挣并没有就此终结,屈服只是暂时的。最终,她用刀子杀死了亚雷,这是她内心反抗的必然结果。她迟早会清算亚雷的罪行。苔丝暴力抗恶的结局,也正是她品格的升华。
苔丝的社会性格的另一面是逆来顺受。对待克莱,苔丝采取的完全是另一种态度。恋人之间的关系本应该是平等的。而苔丝却一味的贬低自己,抬高克莱。在恋爱之初“她爱他爱得非常热烈,她把他看得像天神一样。”(261页)“她五体投地的崇拜他,认为他只有优点,没有缺点,觉得凡是导师、哲人和朋友所应有的学习知识,他没有一样不完备的……他的灵魂,就是圣徒的灵魂,他的智慧就是先知的智慧……而他爱她,在她看来,则是一种怜悯,因此她就倾心相委,披肝沥胆。”(276页)这是多么浓烈、炽热却又卑躬屈膝的爱!在爱情面前,苔丝失去了自我,失去了尊严。正是这种盲目的、不平等的爱,使苔丝放弃了一个妻子应有的争取幸福的权利,深化了苔丝的悲剧。
在结婚之前,苔丝先给克莱写了一封忏悔信,然后又亲口道述她的“罪”。而克莱依旧是传统道德的卫道者。他的“新思想”理所当然的要求苔丝对他过去的放荡行为给予谅解和宽容。苔丝也的确那样做了。但她悲惨的过去,却得不到克莱回报式的宽容。面对克莱无情的抛弃,苔丝没有做丝毫反抗。相反的,她却说:“我一定像你一个卑微可怜的奴隶一样,绝对的服从你,就是你叫我倒地不起,舍身送命,我也绝不违背你。”(352页)克莱狠心离去了,苔丝对他的爱却从未削减。一封封热情洋溢的信,却唤不回克莱冰冷的心。灾难重重,使她不得不在社会角色和本性中做出选择。她开始了对克莱的反抗:“唉!安玑呀,你待我怎么这么狠心呢!我不应该受到这样的待遇。我已经把这件事前前后后仔细琢磨了一番,我永远--永远也不能饶恕你!你分明知道我无心害你,但是你为什么老是这样害我呢?你太狠心了,真太狠心了!我只有慢慢把你忘了好啦。我在你手里,一丁点公道也没得到。”(495页)怀着对克莱的绝望,她投向了自称撒旦的亚雷的怀抱。然而她对亚雷的屈服比失去贞洁更屈辱。
经历了一系列的打击,克莱的观念转变了。但正是他所谓的醒悟,给苔丝带来了真正的悲剧。冲动的自然性格,摆脱了维多利亚时代的伦理观念、法律羁绊,略带胆怯却勇于反抗的苔丝践踏了“人间的正义”
