Tragedy takes the shape of many events, and influences them in a number of ways. People also contribute to tragedy consciously, as well as subconsciously, unaware of the consequences that will subsequently follow. In the novel Tess of the dUrbervilles by Thomas Hardy, tragedy is undoubtedly present in the protagonist, Tess Durbeyfields life. Although Tess is portrayed as an innocent girl who makes wrongful decisions which lead to her destruction, Tess parents, Angel Clare, and Alec dUrberville play an important part in her life, leading to her tragedy.
The Durbeyfield parents started the cycle of tragedy in Tess life by thinking of themselves first. ... The Durbeyfields need of a new horse, and the mothers greed for her daughter to claim kin against her will with a noble family member of the dUrbervilles, starts Tess on her journey to her destruction. Tess parents could have supported themselves if they had not been so proud about being descendants of the prestigious dUrbervilles. Tess, being simplistic, is unaware of dangers a man such as Alec dUrberville posed, and it is not fair that she is being made to suffer for succumbing to an unknown danger.
