Tess of the D
Tess of the dŽUrbervilles written by Thomas Hardy is a novel about a young girl of a poor family whose life changes because someone tells her family that they belong to a noble family. But is it a bad change or a good one? This story is written in third person point of view. John Durbeyfield is walking through the street at night and suddenly a historian visiting the town, stops and tells him that his last name is really dŽUrberville and it belongs to a noble family. Sir John hurries and tells the news to his family. He is a very poor man. So he tells his young daughter, Tess, to go find job at their "family's" town, but Tess's mother never warned her about how mean man can be. There, Tess meets a man, Alec dŽUrberville, and in a short time he manages to seduce her and he forces her to do something she didn't want to.
