Hardy's creation depiction of mixed role image of women, fresh from not repeated, although these women's status, character and so on various aspects are very different, but their fates are stunningly similar,what the catastrophe of a tragedy. They are mainly divided into the tragic fate of reason two aspects, the objective cause and subjective reasons.From the objective reasons, it includes three aspects: one is the social background. This period of ideological and cultural mainstream is male consciousness, the rights of women are not express yourself. Social put women as fragile, no rational group, women have been in a passive position, in ideology, give up totally as the male ego accessory, women in economically attached to men, men have dominion of house property, as women of the position is low, they nearly all hope in marriage, and lead to marriage is not for love, but seek way of life. They think get "happiness" is the only way to marriage, marriage they can only stay at home xiangfujiaozi. Normally, marriage is permanent, wife virginness is her husband's privilege. In the patriarchal society, measure standard is good and evil female stand or fall of virginity, whether whether a woman of her husband obedient, etc. If meet this standard, can be regarded as a perfect society women, do not accord with the standard female was recognized as evil temptress. These for women is not fair, naturally led directly to the tragic fate; female life 2 it is religious reasons. Religion is mainly proclaim god according to own mode and analogues created man and give people made moral precepts, essentially is a asceticism and male socialist morality, has on the basis of sex, essentially is the hypocrisy of the ruling class's tools, is paralyzed to protect their interests. Religious suppression people's natural sentiment, trample upon humanity, especially for women of the disadvantaged groups is grave persecution. Hardy intentionally in this tragic conflict to arouse people's thinking, make people realize that religious man-eating essence, thus reach critical religious, and call for the purpose of change. Three are women their own personality weakness reasons. In hardy works, and some women, with their own character weaknesses also determines the their tragedy destiny. The return of the heroine especially matchup maaseiah, arrogant for love and life with unrealistic illusion and paranoid pursuit of reality, not satisfied with lover, resulting in her last on the way into the death eloped. Tess tragedy also with her character weakness inseparable. Although she dared to against social injustice, but can not completely out of the traditional fetter. She psychological this self moral condemnation with her surroundings and by education are closely related, she always from the traditional moral and social public opinion up to evaluate their own behavior, clearly know you are victim, but in those around you also think oneself is controversial guilty. "Jude the obscure" weaknesses in the character accomplishment very clearly, she has been in fierce inner struggle state, when children suicide after, she thinks it is god to her punishment, then finally returned to her husband "sin".From the subjective reasons, it is hardy's view on tragedy led to fatalism. Hardy's grandmother and mother often use fatalism view to education hardy, explain everything around by all the villagers, suffering and misfortune is meant to be attributed to these makes hardy from urinate have a "fate is tragedy" feeling. And hardy was temperament withdrawn, melancholy, sensitive, this innate temperament also kept him in tragedy view of life. Hardy see patriarchal rural be capitalism to crumble, living in hit the bottom of the people in poverty, he is sympathetic struggle, think people these labor people to survive in this society, their fate must be miserable. Although he dared in works on such social make critical, but also feel helpless, find change the social reality of methods. So he works often reveal a pessimistic tendency, that person's tragic fate is not changed. Hardy reading a lot of ancient Greek tragedy works, these further his destiny tragedy consciousness, deepened his recognition for fatalism. Darwin's on the origin of species not only to shake the theological system, changing the hardy's idea, shook his faith, for the feudalistic thinking to the Christian faith. Hardy deeply Schopenhauer "only will theory", Darwin's theory of evolution and the influence of agnosticism Huxley, think that humans can't get rid of destiny in the universe madden, there exists a kind of mankind's fate supernatural, namely "the universe will". In a series of hardy novels of creation, obviously reflects this pessimistic thoughts. His writings often reveal a strong fatalism colour, seems to fate always controlled everything in...... to tempt the human. Novels present in large amounts in various plot, often is the chance that the destiny of female coincidence, there seems to be a turning point in the outer force the human destiny manipulated, and often resulted in the direction toward tragedy thing. Though hardy often make the reader from his works realize dense tragic atmosphere, but hardy is not a thorough pessimists. Hardy on one hand, the universe that all humans and all actions are affected to some supernatural inner will control; On the other hand, he believes the inner awakening, believe that humans will ultimately force in itself. Hardy novels contained a positive attitude to survive: although the society is not fair, mankind's tragic fate temporarily cannot be changed, but people must have struggle consciousness, only positive, pondered unceasingly and struggle there is hope for, can change this kind of social status. Hardy novels of dark social reality in all kinds of brave expose, sharp irony and fight for characters are very obviously tendency certainly proved this point.
