篇一:《德伯家的苔丝》读后感

《德伯家的苔丝》读后感

前一段日子,读完了《苔丝》——流着眼泪读完的。

这是我第二次读这篇小说了,可从次数上来看虽是第二次,实质上只能说是第一次,或者说是一次多一点点。我第一次看这篇小说的时候才只是一个小学生,对文学作品的理解能力有限,而且读得也很粗略,那时,我对《苔丝》的唯一印象就是挺好看的,苔丝这个人物挺可怜的,除此以外便所剩无几了,根本没有把自己融入整个情节中去,根本没有对苔丝这个悲剧性的人物作过任何有意识的评价,根本没有想过苔丝一步一步走向毁灭是与其性格,与她所处的环境是如此密不可分。这一次阅读,我不敢说我已经看懂了,但我对整个情节有了比以往更深刻的了解。

《苔丝》的作者托马斯·哈代在这篇小说中体现出了他悲观的宿命论,主人公苔丝陷入悲惨境地,但她无论如何挣扎都无济于事,改变不了命运的安排与戏弄,最后走上绝路。但她走上绝路,绝不像某些低俗小说那样一味追求情节曲折而硬让主人公死去,而是有其一定的必然性。在故事的开端,当苔丝的父亲约翰·德比被告知自己这样一个贫穷小贩竟是古代德伯家族——一个十分高贵显要的家庭的后裔后,她的父母要她去有钱的德伯太太家攀亲戚,她天性纯朴,厌恶趋炎附势,不同意去,但后来,她由于担心喝得酩酊大醉的父亲半夜外出送蜂密进城会出现意外,才与弟弟一起替父亲跑一次腿,然而途中却出现了意外——她家唯一一匹赶车的马被轧死了,失去一匹马对他们这样一个贫困的家庭来说就是失去了用以维持生活的工具。在埋葬这匹衰老枯瘦的马时,几个孩子们都放声大哭,苔丝没有,“他脸色苍白,没有表情,似乎认为她自己是谋杀者”,书中是这样描写的。然后她带着一种负罪感――是她自己的疏忽大意才使家庭的生活出现了危机,和她对父母的孝顺,对弟弟妹妹们的关爱,以及她强烈的责任感——必须使家庭摆脱困境的责任感,去了德伯太太家攀亲戚,也导致了她被亚历克·德伯玷污,给她日后的生活蒙上了一层抹不去的阴影。她的孩子在死前,她坚持要让这个不清白的小小的肉欲的产物受洗礼,也是强烈的责任感趋使她这样做的。如此说来,苔丝性格中最不容忽视的一点便是她强烈的责任感了,正如苔丝坚决地要把与亚历克·德伯的那一段不快的往事告诉她所深爱,并且也深爱她的丈夫安吉尔一样,她原本可以完完全全地把这件事隐藏起来,说像她母亲教她的,然而,苔丝没有,她把这件事原原本本地告诉了安吉尔,书里这样写道:“她说得很轻,但很坚决。”苔丝把这件事告诉了安吉尔,而不愿意隐瞒事实,致使安吉尔承受不住打击而与她分居,也正是源于她那责任心,不是吗?现在看整篇文章中给我印象最深的一段吧,就是苔丝杀了亚历克后追上安吉尔的时候:“??克莱尔停住脚步,以询问的目光望着苔丝。‘安吉尔’,苔丝说,好像她一直等待着他们停步时克莱尔会这样看着她,‘你知道我为什么要追你吗?我要告诉你我把他杀了!’她这么说的时候脸上露出令人同情的惨淡微笑。”“令人同情的惨淡微笑”,你能想象一个人在杀了人后所露出的这种表情吗?如她自己所说的“我杀了他——也不知道是怎么把他杀死的。不过,安吉尔,为了你,也为了我自己,我非这么做不可。”显然,苔丝把杀死亚历克看成是她应尽的责任,是她必须完成的任务,为她自己,也为她丈夫。亚历克是笼罩在她心头的阴影,亚历克死了,她只觉得如释重负,只觉得自己是完成了任务,所以她急着要告诉她丈夫,这大概也就是她脸上会露出微笑,而不是杀过人后的慌乱、惊恐无措。因而在她生命的最后五天——与安吉尔在一起的五天——一生中最幸福的五天中过的生活是恬静的,她的心情也是平静的,她对待死亡的坦然也感染了逮捕她的人,“她站起身来,整了整衣服向前走去;那些人还一个也没有起步。‘我准备好了’,她平静地说。”我想,苔丝或许是带着幸福,甚至是带

着满足感死去的,因为她觉得她死了,再也看不见安吉尔会看不起她了。这从她被逮捕前所说的话中是可以看出来的。

至此为止,我所说的都是苔丝,也许你会问起安吉尔为什么会接受不了苔丝曾被亚历克玷污并产有一子这一残酷事实而提出与她分居,他不是很爱苔丝吗?难道他对苔丝的爱并不是高尚的吗?那么,我要说,他是因为太爱苔丝了,他心目中的苔丝是如此美丽,如此善良,是一切纯洁的象征,他忍受不了他眼中所见,心目所想的苔丝有任何过错,他努力扼杀自己对苔丝的感情,他觉得那个属于他的苔丝已经不存在了,在他眼前的,已经不是他以前所深恋的苔丝,而是有着苔丝形貌的另一个女人。新婚之夜,也就是苔丝把往事告诉他的那个夜晚,也就是他们开始分居的那个夜晚,他曾梦游,抱着苔丝走到了树林中,把苔轻轻放在一口棺材中,看过这篇小说的人一定不会忘记他当时所一直重复说的那一句话:“死了,死了,苔丝,我的妻子死了,死了。”在他的心中,最最美好的那个苔丝死了,不存在了,他的悲痛,他的绝情,他的弃苔丝而去的行为,正是因为他觉得自己失去了当初最真最纯的苔丝。

至于亚历克,我不想多说,他给苔丝带来的灾难是显而易见的,他对苔丝所做的一切,根本不是出自他对苔丝的爱,因为爱是高尚的,他对苔丝只有情欲可言,丝毫没有爱的根据。然而,苔丝并没有因为亚历克给她带来的打击而不纯洁,她自始至终都是那么的纯洁,善良,都显得那么美丽。

篇二:德伯家的苔丝读后感(英文版)

A TRAGEDY OF A WOMAN

She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.

She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this

accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t aGREe with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.

She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.

Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t

important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he reGREtted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!

Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!

Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it.

Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!

In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”

People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.

Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…

Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.

篇三:《苔丝》英文读后感

All about Woman

When I read the novel Tess of the D’Urbervilles ten years ago for the first time, I was merely shocked by Tess’s miserable and tragic fate. What a lovely and kind girl! She did nothing wrong but she had to bear all these adversities that she didn’t deserve. At that time I was just a naive little girl in junior high school.

Now reviewing this famous novel again, I realize that there is still much to be found and thought about in it. Great as Hardy is, he definitely wanted to tell readers more than a tragic story purely.

Tess was the eldest daughter of her family and she had no choice but to bear the responsibility of rallying her family and repaying the debts. She was beautiful, innocent and pure without big ambition or desire for things that didn’t belong to her. Nobody ever doubted that she deserved happiness and peace.

But things seldom go on as we expected. Tess was deprived of virginity and she was no longer ‘pure’ as she used to be. What’s worse, she got pregnant as a result. Tess gave birth to the baby and decided to raise the baby all by herself. At that time, she showed her admirable qualities—being tough and decisive. We all hope that she can start a brand new life and cut off all contact with the past after her baby’s death. However, for the second and third time, God cheated and mocked her.

Sometimes I wonder why a nice woman couldn’t end up with a nice man. Is it just like the saying that beautiful women suffer unhappy fates? Tess always missed her Mr. right and her Mr.wrong always disturbed her life and wouldn’t let her go. All the three person misunderstand what’s love. Alec thought love to be deprival and occupation; Angel thought love to be purity and ideal; Tess thought love to be toleration and waiting. They stuck in their illusion of love of which they never managed to get out. Alec and Tess was dead. As for Angel, he might as well be dead.

Who is to blame for this tragedy? Alec, Tess or Angel? Or ridiculous fate?

I believe it was Tess herself. Certainly, that bad age and those hypocritical men were executioners that push Tess into the abyss of destruction. But Tess should have led a better life if she don’t treat herself as a satellite of men. How stupid is she to spend her life waiting for a man who betrayed her and escaped away when she was dying for help! When there is no help offered by men, women should fight on their own instead of waiting for men’s mercy and forgiveness since there is nothing needed to be forgiven.

Women’s tragedy will never come to an end until they treat themselves as totally independent, which means they can lead a normal life with or without men.
