Tess's charm and beauty are unparalleled, bestowed with infinite grace by author Hardy. In Polanski's 1979 film, actress Natasha Kinski made Tess's beauty so moving.
As Alek said to Tess in the film: "Beauty has a price." Tess also paid a heavy price for her beauty.
Tess was born in a poor family, beauty is her greatest weapon, but also the greatest disaster.
Of course, Tess's death is not just personal, but also the class and ugliness of the times. However, Tess also lacks a correct understanding of men and lacks reasonable protection for herself.
First, stay away from men who take advantage of women. Master Alek is the young master of the d'Urberville family. He is sitting on countless wealth. The moment he saw Tess's beauty, he wanted to take Tess as his own and become his mistress. . Master Alec lacks basic respect for women, and uses Tess as a sexual outlet from beginning to end. So he teased Tess with sweet words and seduced Tess. As a country girl, Tess lacks awareness of men's ambiguous methods. Even though she knows that Master Alek's motives are impure, she can't escape the net that he has laid. Tess gave birth to a child, but unfortunately died, and at the same time lost Tess's virginity. When Tess became unfortunate again, Master Alec took care of Tess again, but he only tried to get her fresh and young body while she was young and beautiful. Once Tess gets old, Alek will find the next Tess to take his place. Therefore, a man who uses a woman must not choose to become a lifelong partner, no matter how rich and powerful such a man is, because once he can't find the value of a partner, he will abandon it.
Second, stay away from cowardly and irresponsible men. After Tess was stripped of her virginity, Angel ignited her love, and they got married logically. But Angel, hearing that she had been seduced and gave birth to a son, became indifferent and went to Brazil alone. Tess gave Angel a life-like love, because at first Angel respected her and loved her with a human attitude. This is very different from Alec's same attitude towards things. Naturally, Tess was reborn in this relationship and gained infinite vitality. But when the past was revealed, the reality was so ruthless. Angel was reluctant to accept the defilement of the angelic beauty and purity of Tess, and ran away from her. In real life, the quality that women value most for men should be responsibility and the courage to take responsibility. When something happens, instead of thinking about being indifferent to your partner without saying a word, or even escaping, you should face it bravely and take responsibility. In marriage, the biggest bond between husband and wife is responsibility, and choosing a weak and irresponsible husband, married life will be full of betrayal and disputes.
