"Tess of the D'Urbervilles" follows the tragic life of Tess Durberfield, a working-class girl struggling against the oppressive norms of Victorian society. After discovering her ancestral ties to the noble D’Urberville family, Tess is manipulated by Alec D’Urberville, which leads to a devastating turn in her life. Despite her efforts to find love and redemption with the idealistic Angel Clare, Tess grapples with the societal judgment and guilt that follows her. Hardy's poignant exploration of fate, morality, and the plight of women highlights Tess's resilience and the tragic beauty of her story, ultimately reflecting the harsh realities of her time.
