苔丝第四章赏析.ppt

Brief Introduction of chapter 4 The chapter has two points .First ,it tell us the party in Rolliver’s inn and the conversation between Mr Durbeyfield and Mrs Durbeyfield about that they want to let Tess to visit the rich lady who was considered as their relation . Second ,it tell us the death of the Prince and Tess considered its death as her fault .so she felt so painful and guilty . As to the expression of its language .

What says the maid herself to going? `Ive not asked her. She dont know there is any such lady relation yet. But it would certainly put her in the way of a grand marriage, and she wont say nay to going.‘ “lady relation”, “a grand marriage”“ she wont say nay to going” These words can tell us Tess’s mother is a peacockish woman. she want to become gentlefolk by Tess’s marriage. And I think she didn’t know Tess at all. She had the thought that Tess is the same as her .But she was wrong . ------Being a few private friends asked in tonight to keep up club-walking at my own expense . These words are repeated by the landlady .by her words ,we can find she was a little timid .Because
