Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
3.0
Hardy is definitely a classic author. I love his ability to create such 3 dimensional characters that feel real and that you can care about and understand their desire to better themselves.
But I have a hard time with all the horrid characters who come in and commit atrocities on the main character which ultimately leads to his downfall.
I had a lot of the same feelings with Tess of D’Ubervilles but at least in that novel I feel the heroine was able to fight back somewhat against her horrible situations, although it did ultimately lead to her end. Jude was awarded no such opportunity.
