The study of Tess Of The D'urbervilles focused on three aspects: To grasp the plot of content, to excavate the significance of the signified and to explore literary form. The first two studies belonged to content research, it not only grasped the content style of the Tess Of The D'urbervilles from multi-level and multi-angle, but also excavated the plentiful signified meaning of works from the works content. However, the content study only concerned about what the works write, but it did not affirm to the value of the text form; the latter belonged to form study, which showed the basic features of works form. And such research also has limitation. It only considered form skills of works from art methods, but not grasped the overall framework structure of works. This article will analysis Tess Of The D'urbervilles concrete structure style from its deep layer structure, position, meaning and reason.Tess Of The D'urbervilles showed heroine Tess tortuous and tragic experience.

In Western narrative literature, there exist two traditional narrative models: linear structure and space structure.

Investigating the wrinkly structure from the profound meaning of repetition, we can find that the wrinkly structure not only made the plot ups and downs, and enhanced the aesthetic feelings of works, but also realized the heterogeneous of text significance, fully revealed the meaning of text, and gave the reader a profound inspiration. Wrinkly structure is not caused by accident, and it is closely related to the writer's life. Hardy studied music and architecture experience, for the acceptance of literary tradition and his unique emotional thinking, which all had a profound impact for Hardy.It made Tess Of The D'urbervilles embody literary originality not only in the ideological content but in the form of structure.
