Tess

RRRRRRR. So for AP English I had to read three books over the summer, one of which was Tess of the d'Ubervilles. It was the most difficult to read and what's more, it was rather boring except one part in the end. Anyway, I had to write an essay on whether Tess was an innocent victim of a cruel society or a foolish wimp. I sided with the "Tess is a foolish wimp" part.

When I asked my teacher which side of the argument most people took, she said most of them did not like Tess. It's really a depressing and sad story, but Tess is just a frustrating person.

SPOILER ALERT.
If you, for some reason unknown to me, decide to read this book, discontinue the reading of this entry.

The book was really boring until Tess killed Alec d'Uberville towards the end. That was when it got interesting. At least, for that short bit. Then she just ran off with Angel Clare (her neglectful husband) and then they were caught by the police and she was hanged. Anyway, I really didn't like Tess. You would understand if you read my book. *sigh* I just had to fume for a bit. Well, I guess I should get back to homework. That's all for now. Bye!
