Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Linguistik, Note: gut, Bergische Universitat Wuppertal (BUGH Wuppertal), Veranstaltung: Literatut der "Nineties," Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Die Determiniertheit der Tragodie, Abstract: Thomas Hardys Tess of the dUrbervilles erschien erstmals 1891 und gehort somit in die Zeit des Viktorianismus und wird oft in Naturalismusdefinitionen genannt. Der Roman enthalt eine grosse Bandbreite an Themen, Motiven und Weltanschauungen. Er bietet sich hervorragend als Analyseobjekt an, denn Hardy bedient sich einer Bildsprache, nutzt Tiermetaphern, verwendet Symbole und Metaphern. Interessante Aspekte der Betrachtung konnten naturalistische Elemente sein, religiose Verweise, Landschaftsbeschreibungen, Charaktere und deren Konstelationen und noch einiges mehr. Beispielsweise wird Tess als figure in a landscape" dargestellt und haufig mit Tiermetaphern beschrieben. Das haufige Auftreten von Vogeln und die damit verbundene Bildsprache lohnte ebenfalls einer genauere Betrachtung. Des weiteren ist Hardys Verwendung von Licht als visuelles Element ein interessanter Aspekt. Ebenfalls lohnenswert ware die Betrachtung der Rolle von Grabstatten in Tess Leben. Es gabe noch etliche anderen Analyseaspekte und Thematiken, von denen hier aber nicht weiter die Rede sein soll. Die folgende Arbeit soll sich mit den deterministischen Elementen in Tess of the dUrbervilles beschaftigen. Es soll gezeigt werden, dass der Roman nicht einwandfrei der Gattung des Naturalismus zuzuordnen ist, da Hardy Strukturen der klassischen Tragodie einbringt und sein Determinismus nicht gleich dem des Naturalismus ist. Hierzu soll die Handlung nach den kausalen Zusammenhangen, die Tess tragisches Schicksal bestimmen, untersucht werden. Zudem wird die Bestimmtheit des Geschehens von vielen Zufallen begleitet, was dazu fuhrte, dass einige Kritiker Hardys Glaubwurdigkeit und seinen Realitatssinn in Frage stellten. Dennoch mogen Hardys konstruierten"

Etched against the background of a dying rural society, Tess of the d'Urbervilles was Thomas Hardy's 'bestseller,' and Tess Durbeyfield remains his most striking and tragic heroine. Of all the characters he created, she meant the most to him. Hopelessly torn between two men—Alec d'Urberville, a wealthy, dissolute young man who seduces her in a lonely wood, and Angel Clare, her provincial, moralistic, and unforgiving husband—Tess escapes from her vise of passion through a horrible, desperate act. 'Like the greatest characters in literature, Tess lives beyond the final pages of the book as a permanent citizen of the imagination,' said Irving Howe. 'In Tess he stakes everything on his sensuous apprehension of a young woman's life, a girl who is at once a simple milkmaid and an archetype of feminine strength. . . . Tess is that rare creature in literature: goodness made interesting.' Now Tess of the d'Urbervilles has been brought to television in a magnificent new co-production from A&E Network and London Weekend Television. Justine Waddell (Anna Karenina) stars as the tragic heroine, Tess; Oliver Milburn (Chandler & Co.) is Angel Clare; and Jason Flemyng is Alec d'Urberville. The cast also includes John McEnery (Black Beauty) as Jack Durbeyfield and Lesley Dunlop (The Elephant Man) as Joan Durbeyfield. Tess of the d'Urbervilles is directed by Ian Sharp and produced by Sarah Wilson, with a screenplay by Ted Whitehead; it was filmed in Hardy country, the beautiful English countryside in Dorset where Thomas Hardy set his novels.
