...ers him to liberate herself. After a brief period of concealment ith Angel Clare, Tess is arrested at Stonehenge, trialed and hanged.The conflict of the novel the Blind Destiny, the conflict beteen Man and Nature.According to Hardy, man and oman are condemned to live in a orld that is ruled by universal pitiless las, predetermined by Nature itself. Fatal chance is an invisible force in all the relationships of human being, there is the Blind Destiny, the sin hich is to revenge some day, the merciless las ignored by the characters ho, ultimately, ill be crushed by them. Man does not accept these rules and becomes a desperate fighter. Hence, the tragic fight beteen mans aspirations and his possibilities. The fragment presenting Tess and Angel at Stonehenge is symbolic for the hole novel and for Hardys philosophy.Tess is an elementary nature, ith poerful instincts, capable of violent passions and infinite devotion. Throughout the novel she is presented as passive, obedient and submissive to the las of nature, of society and of her on temperament. She shos a complete acceptance of hatever comes upon her, understanding destiny as a la of Universe. That is hy she faces Destiny ith dignity, resignation and grace. She knos that she had disrupted the equilibrium in Universe, the code of las and she accepts her fate, feeling that order has been re-established.The scenery Stonehenge As soon as they arrive in the presence of Stonehenge the realistic level sinks into insignificance. Their stepping into myth is announced by some classical symbol motifs their state of ignorance is suggested by their groping around. Gradually, they become acquainted through their senses hearing, touching ith the place hich they define as a temple of the inds, and the author defines it as the pavilion of the night. The ancient, timeless character impresses by its firmness. The ay architecture influenced Hardy in depicting the pagan temple can easily be seen. Feeling sideays they encountered another toer - like pillar, as square as the first, beyond it another and another. The place as all doors and pillars, some connected above by continuous architraves. The setting is perfect a concrete place ith mysterious meaning, the remnant of a very old civilization that orshipped nature bringing human sacrifices and thus suggesting the insignificance of man in the face of Nature. It becomes the place of her punishment and the shrine of sacrifice and forgiveness. Tess seems caught beteen the sky and the earth looking like an innocent victim sacrificed to the gods on an altar.The chromatic element plays a major part in the creation of the dramatic atmosphere. The images connected ith darkness, light and ind have a definite position in the picture. Time gradually passes from mere chronology midday, afternoon, 8 oclock to duration and symbolic time night march, midnight, the night ind. Nature is concordant ith Tesss state of mind dark, ith an impress of reserve, taciturnity and hesitation, cold as the stones. The coming of light is the coming of death. The figures of the soldiers appear at the first break of dan. On the other hand, Nature seems to anticipate the events that are to come Presently the night ind died out, and the quivering little pools in the cup like hollos of the stones lay still. The dialogue is reduced to the minimum, the emphasis lying on the description of the scenery. e notice metaphors, chromatic epithets, visual images, gradation from night toards dan, alongside ith the gradation of the torments ithin Tesss heart from despair to resignation. In the end, Stonehenge is in full light, marking the heroines serenity and peace of mind. The novel may be considered both a psychologic one because it dras a fe years in the evolution of the heroine and a social novel at the same time it is described the condition of peasantry as ell as the contrast beteen the latters life and aristocracy, and perhaps even a love story the story of unhappy love tormented by the absurdities of life.Haunted by fatalism and determinism, Hardy is a tragic riter and illustrates his unique humanitarian attitude toards the dramatic struggle beteen man and evil..ASaSaaaaIc1XZa1IavuUVaaaaaaH41kuva84hx-8aa
