This paper attempts to approach Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles from a different angle. Previous discussions of the novel have focused on deterministic view of the heroine’s tragic life and on proving Tess’s purity. They have kept the heroine on the center of the discussion and attempted to find the causes of the tragedy or to defend her purity. However, in this paper Angel Claire takes the center of the discussion. It is necessary to reconstruct the narrative around Angel’s project of ‘new beginning’ to rescue the novel from deterministic fetter.
Disappointed at degeneration of his family and society, Angel set a strategy to start reviving them by making a new start in a country with a pure girl. Tess was the right person for this purpose until he was told Tess’s story about Alec. From his response to her confession, we can find the limit of his conception of purity: it is confined within physical virginity. Even if he tried to set himself off of the tradition and convention, he was still harnessed by them.
On the other hand, Tess is represented as a person who practiced becoming-nature and becoming-animal. In her experiences of becoming, we can recognize the germinality of being and the nature in the novel. Therefore, to read the novel as being dominated with deterministic view of the world and being can be a longstanding misunderstanding. This reading can cast off the yoke of determinism put on the novel and bring back the life force it originally contained.
