"The difference between destiny and fate is that is up to individual to make decisions on the path of the life,whereas with destiny a path has already been decided" .

In that part, we will have a look at the affects of her destiny to her life. For understanding the novel, we have to make a deep analysis of Tess' character. She is the protogonist of the novel.The young daughter of a rural working class family at the start of the novel, Tess Durbeyfield is sent to claim kinship with the wealthier side of her family, the d'Urber

In this quotation from the end of the novel where Tess is captured by the police for killing Alec. Here there is a recognition of Tess. Tess is now aware of the bad destiny she has. She does not have a free will. Her destiny has made a path for her and she must follow this path. Her bad and unlucky destiny lead to her downfall.

Alec D'Urberville is very important in Tess' fall.He is the sophisticated son of Mrs. Stoke-d'Urberville, Alec is rapacious and possessive, believing that his status in society and his financial situation gives him power to possess and control Tess after he gives her a job caring for his mother's chickens. After seducing Tess, Alec reforms his hedonistic ways to become a fundamentalist preacher, but soon deviates from his newfound spirituality once he sees Tess again. Tess is so innocent and unexperienced that she cannot understand Alec's sexual feelings to her. The destiny makes her meet with Alec again after Angel goes away.

I have had enough; and now I shall not live for you to despise me!'"She stood up, shook herself, and went forward, neither of the men having moved."'I am ready,' she said quietly.( chp.11)
