The Analysis of the Tragic Tess――the Spirit of Revolt(五) servant breathed his last, and when the other children awoke they cried bitterly, and begged Sissy to have another pretty baby. The calmness, which had possessed Tess since the christening, remained with her in the infant's loss. In the daylight, indeed, she felt her terrors about his soul to have been somewhat exaggerated, whether well founded or not she had no uneasiness now, reasoning that if Providence would not ratify such an act of approximation she, for one, did not value the kind of heaven lost by the irregularity--either for herself or for her child. She returns reasoning and says: "If God is unwilling to sanction this kind of close method on the whole of hers, that piece lost paradise have value can speak either because this kind does not conform to normal baptism then. "(Thomas Hardy, p.156). Therefore Tess believes if religion is true, equal, then have the so-called paradise, if the religion is unfair to people, is then hypocritical, this is what she’s judgment of the religion true and false, at the same time it is the resistance of the hypocritical religion too, she believes real religion is true, real religion should adhere rigidly to the form, norm, otherwise would rather not believe. The above behaviors and speech have proved Tess to the hypocritical resistance of one side of religion effectively. She despise to the representative of religion hypocritical, has better spirit of revolt extremely especially to hypocritical religion.    The fourth, the resistance Tess to the unfortunate marriage     Under parents' advice, under the pressure of the family life, Tess has entered into d’Urbervilles home, The haggling business, which had mainly depended on the horse, became disorganized forthwith. Distress, if not penury, loomed in the distance. Durbeyfield was what was locally called a slack-twisted fellow, he had good strength to work at times, but the times could not be relied on to coincide with the hours of requirement. And having been unaccustomed to the regular toil of the day laborer, he was not particularly persistent when they did so coincide. Tess, meanwhile, as the one who had dragged her parents into this quagmire, was silently wondering what she could do to help them out of it, and then her mother broached her scheme go. And it is unfortunate to suffer, but she didn’t want marry Alec, which would save her misfortune by obtaining the marriage. She still wants to pursue the real happiness and marriage. So, she met Clare, fall in love with him, and combine with him. In order to living a happy life with Angel, she tried every means to forget her sad past and treat him sincerely. After Angel knows she was raped by Alec, their relationship is torn apart, and Angel Clare leaves for Brazil, then Tess has finally been forced to marry Alec. She never feels happy in the marriage between she and Alec. That is the unfortunate marriage she has. She would rather bear the shame sign of " woman losing virginity,”(Bill, TheIndustrial Revolution Of the 19th Century (London: London Press, 1927), p.150) stands enormous social pressure and terrible discrimination, than to violate her own true feelings and spoil her own true love.    Tess of the d’Urbervilles, have a subtitle, " a pure woman "(Bill, p.12). This proves Tess’s unfortunate fight of marriage. She thinks the losing of the virgin's chastity does not mean losing the purity of the love. So she again and again ask Angel: “I thought, Angel, that you loved me--me, my very self! If it is I you do love, O how can it be that you look and speak so? It frightens me! Having begun to love you, I love you forever--in all changes, in all disgraces, because you are yourself. I ask no more. Then how can you, O my own husband, stop loving me?”(Thomas Hardy, Tess of the d'Urbervilles(Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1989),p.170). She does not think that love must be equivalent to chastity, but believes that real love should be the idea of abandoning common customs, natural, simple and honest. Though she fails to get understanding from Clare at the beginning when she was ready for the happy marriage that she dreams of, she never give up, still veining for a gleam of hope for the happy marriage. However, finally she could not get rid of the evil force. Before she gets pardon from Angel, she falls into inferior trap of Alec. And when her husband appears in front of her, she, for her happiness, even the transient happiness of a few days. She killed the arch-criminal of crime --Alec. Obtain unprecedented ease and freedom. Tess has a happiest time while catching. She set up Clare her younger sister for the hope that she can obtain the happy marriage at the younger sister's body, and make Angel happy. She leaves happily finally. She has been lived again on younger sister, who get real purity marriage without prejudice and common customs.     Though the story winds up with the tragedy, we can see clearly that she keeps resisting. She, against this unjust society, false religion, moribund old tradition, and unfortunate marriage, all make enormous efforts and carry on the resistance of justice. But we have to realize that, in such a society, the evil force walks crosswise, and there is a strong backing –The protection of state apparatus and religion system. In addition, there is the spirit of the feudal ethical thought. Such a rural girl with only her own hands to work and her simple and honest, how to cross it? So the final tragedy of Tess is unavoidable, but her spirit of revolt is worth thinking deeply
