One day, Mr. Durbeyfield found his self as a noble family from d’Ubervilles family as said by Parson Tringham. On the same day Tess (his oldest dougther) went on a party. In that party there was a young man named Angel who was in his way with his two brothers but his brothers didn’t to join with him to dance for a while. It was too late for Angel to ask Tess to dance with because he had to catch up with his two older brothers, Cuthberg and Felix Clare.

She went to market at night with her brother, Abraham, but unfortunately the horse which pulled her carriage dead because she was asleep while controlling the speed wagon. Then, she went back home to Marlott. Her mother asked her to visit Mrs. D’Ubervilles only to get in touch and to know each other that they were relatives. When she arrived at the front side of Mrs. d’Ubervilles, a man came closer to her. He, Alec, said that he was the son of d’Ubervilles family. He seduced Tess and made her come again to the place and work as a poultry-keeper for Mrs. d’Ubervilles.

In Tess second visit, Alec drove her to her house with his horse. On the way he made their way lost in purpose. Instead of looking for a right way he went to a deep fog. Then he left Tess in the wood with his horse and he went to find the right way. Not so long, Alec came back where he left Tess. He found Tess fall asleep in middle of deep fog. Then that night he touched Tess and she became impure girl anymore.

She went back to her house and finally gave a birth a baby. She named him Sorrow. A week later the baby was sick and dead after she baptized her baby herself. After the death of his son, he moved to Talbothays Dairy. He left her past and started new day there as a milkmaid. In that farm she had 3 friends, Izz, Retty and Marian. She also met with a man who was late to ask her to dance when in Marlott. At first the man didn’t recognize her, but finally he did. As time goes by, Angel and Tess often met and became fall in love.

At first Tess refused Angel’s purpose to marry her. She thought that she was not an appropriate girl for Angel because she was no longer pure. But she cannot tell him all her past. Then Angel went to his house in Emminsters. At first his parents didn’t agree but after all he can persuade his parents to meet Tess. Angel purposed Tess many times and finally Tess agreed to marry him. She is advised by her mother to not tell all her history to Angel.

After their wedding, at night, they confessed that first Angel aver slept with a women when he was in London. Then second Tess decided to tell the truth about her past included her baby. She thought that she would be forgiven. Instead of being forgiven by her new husband, she decided to separate with her husband in the morning after their wedding. She went home in Marlott and Angel went to Brazil to find a farm field.

Day after day passed and Tess become poorer than before. Then she found a job in the dairy milk but this one is in Flintcomb-Ash. She worked there with her friend, Marian. Because she ran out of money, she decided to come to Angel’s family. When she arrived at Emminsters she had no brave to meet with Angel’s family. Then on the way back home, Tess met a person which his sound was similar to her. He was Alec. He became a nice person. He gave speech in church. He changed because of Mr. Parson Claire, Angel’s father.

Alec wanted to marry Tess. He kept asking her to marry with him and he would take care all of her needs and her family needs. More over her dad was passed away because of over drinking.  Then she told Alec that she had married. Alec made sure that her husband would never come back again to England. Finally, Tess wrote a letter for Angel that she really loved Angel and wanted him to go back soon. She cannot live without him. Knowing the condition of her friend, Marian sent a letter to Angel that his wife was in danger that somebody wanted her. Because Tess was upset she wrote a second letter to Angel that said she was angry with him because he didn’t go back home. Receiving the second letter and a letter from Tess’ friend made Angel sure that he need to go back to England. But when he met Tess, everything had changed. Tess became a nice lady with her nice dress because of the help from Alec. She with heavy heart ignored Angel.

She became sad and blamed all of this to Alec who started to make her past so dark. She still loves Angel, and so does Angel. Then she decided to kill Alec in the hotel where they stayed and ran away to Angel. But finally the police knew Tess location and brought her to be death sentenced.
