Abstract: Tess of the D’Urbervilles, one of the greatest novels of British famous writer Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), describes the misfortune of Tess, a pure, honest, hardworking, and beautiful country girl who is forced to be a murder and hanged. Her tragedy is built up step by step by the two male characters, Alec D’Urberville and Angel Clare. On one hand, they play the role of an angel, using different ways to love and help Tess. On the other, they are vain, greedy and selfish which is the devil that causes Tess’s tragedy. This paper compares the two heroes and discusses their impacts on Tess’s tragedy from three aspects: character features, ways to love Tess and respective representative images, and finally argues that it is these two men who kill Tess.
Key words: Tess, Alec, Angel, comparison, tragedy
摘要：《德伯家的苔丝》是19世纪英国作家托马斯·哈代的名作。小说描绘了女人公苔丝的悲剧人生: 一个纯洁、质朴、刻苦、美丽的农村姑娘被逼得走投无路,最终虽然手刃仇人但却把自己也推上了绞刑架的故事。苔丝之所以走到这一步,是被她身边的两个男人——阿历克·德伯维尔和安吉尔·克莱尔一步一步逼的。一方面他们扮演着天使的角色，用不同的方式爱着苔丝，帮助着苔丝，但另一方面他们虚荣、贪婪、自私，是造成苔丝悲剧的魔鬼。本文分别从人物性格、对爱的表达方式和人物代表形象三方面对小说中两个男主角进行分析和比较，探究他们对苔丝悲剧的产生造成的影响。
