How do our fate or destiny effect our lives? Some of the people do not believe in fate or destiny. In Thomas Hardy’s “Tess of the D’Urbervilles which was written in 1891, we see a young girl who becomes a fallen woman at the end. Tess is the victim of her destiny and also she makes wrong decisions. Her destiny takes her to the way which she suffers a lot.She makes her own fate and both of them make her a fallen woman in the society. Through the conflict between fate and destiny,Hardy wants to reveal the inevitable misery of the human beings. By using the elements of New Criticism, it can be said that there is a unification between fate and destiny which effect Tess’ life.
“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
. . .
Her family forces her to go and find the D’Urbervilles who are said to be their kins. His family is conservative that is why he leaves Tess after learning her past. Her destiny has made a path for her and she must follow this path. The destiny makes her meet with Alec again after Angel goes away. Tess meets Angel while working with Dairyman Crick but this is not their first meeting. 11)
In this quotation from the end of the novel where Tess is captured by the police for killing Alec.
"'What is it, Angel?' she said, starting up. Despite a perfunctory attempt to establish traits which she shares especially with her mother, Hardy does not convince us that the sensitive,introspective,flower-like maiden owes very much to her biological connection with Joan and Jack Durbeyfield”. Although Alec causes unsufferable pains and memories in Tess, she behaves as a weak woman and starts to live together with Alec. 'Have they come for me?' "'Yes, dearest,' he said.
