While some people were so lucky to be born into rich family and live in easy life, Tess suffered many hardships which cause her to struggle so hard to survive.

First character who we would like to talk about is Tess Durbeyfield. We like Tess Durbeyfield because she is a responsible person. In the story she said that “well, as I killed the horse, mother, I suppose I ought to go”. In this statement, we can assume that Tess is a responsible person and she dares to face the problem that she has done.

Whereas, there is a character who we dislike is Alec d’Urberville because he is deceitful person. He is a kind of person who could never be trusted and he tried to make Tess trust in him, and then he did different action to fulfill his desire. For instance, they got lost in the foggy night after the party in town. He left her under a tree and told her to find way home. Tess trusted him and hoped that she could go home soon after Alec came back. Then Alec found her fall asleep under the tree, and raped her. This is the action which a deceitful man did to innocent
