Abstract Thomas Hardy was a famous Englishnovelist and poet。 One of Hardy's characteristics of writing style was the detailed description of characters and environment。 He was highly critical of beliefs and social issuesin Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain。He challenged the old concepts and customs。When his novel Tess of the d'Urbervilleswas first published, it received mixed reviews, partly because the novel challenged the morals of late Victorian England。 The novel revealed the social reality in that era。 What Hardy concerned was not only the nature, butalsohumanism。 He was not satisfied with only telling a story that happened at that time。 He wanted to show people what was the root of the situation, and what could people do。 74094

Realistic principle is one of the basic arts of writing, focusing on truthfully reflect the real life。In his novel, Hardy described people’s life exactlyaccording to the original style of life, and strived to truly reproduce the typical people in a typical environment。The characters created by Hardy were all vivid。 They reflected the hearts of people and the truth of society。 They were the epitome of that timebecause of Hardy's realistic writing styles。This thesis is mainly trying to analyze Hardy's realistic principle by analyzing the three main characters in Tess of the D'Urbervilles。The first one is the heroine Tess D’Urbervilles: she is a beautiful and kind woman with a little vanity, and she reflects the vulnerable and helpless ones among common people: women and peasants。 The second one is Angel Clare, he is the representative of knowledge and wisdom, and he is the man Tess loves, but even such a perfect man in Tess’s eyes is bounded by the traditional moralities。 The last one is Alec D’Urbervilles。 He is the epitome of the bourgeoisie of the Victoria。 He took common people and women as his toys, and destroyed the lives of Tess and Angel, and even his own life。

On the basis of introducing Thomas Hardy and the formation of realistic principles, this thesis writes how Hardy portrayed the characters in the novel。 As a realistic writer, Hardy used a rather delicate stroke and literary words to tell the realistic story。 Hardy revealed the social realities through his own works。

摘要托马斯哈代是一位著名的英国现实zhuyi小说家和诗人。哈代的写作特征之一就是对人物和环境的细致的描写。他高度批判维多利亚时代的信仰和社会问题，尤其是英国农村人的地位下降问题。他敢于挑战旧的思想观念和社会习俗。当他的小说《德伯家的苔丝》当初问世时，人们对它的评价褒贬不一，部分原因是因为这部小说挑战了英国维多利亚时代晚期的道德观念。这部小说揭露了那个时代的社会现实。哈代所关心的不仅是自然环境，还有人性的本质。他不仅仅满足于叙说那个时代发生的一个故事，他想要让人们知道导致这个情况的根源是什么，以及人们能做什么来改变这个现状。

现实主意原则是写作的基本艺术之一，重在真实地反映现实生活。哈代在小说中准确地描述了人们的生活方式，力求在真实的环境中真正再现出典型人物。哈代塑造的人物形象个个都栩栩如生。他们反映了人民地内心和社会地真想。这是哈代现实zhuyi写作风格的缩影。本文试图通过分析《德伯家的苔丝》中的三大主要角色来分析哈代的现实zhuyi原则。第一位是女主人公苔丝德伯，她是一个漂亮，善良又有一些虚荣的女人。她反映了人民群众里的弱势群体：女人和农民。第二位是安琪克莱尔，他是智慧与贤明的代表，他也是苔丝的心中所爱，但就算是这样一个在苔丝眼中近乎完美的男人仍旧收到了传统道德思想的约束。最后一位是亚雷德伯。他是维多利亚时代资产阶级的缩影。他视低级百姓和女人为他的玩物，并亲手摧毁了苔丝，安琪，甚至自己的一生。
