Foreshadowing In Tess Of The Durbervilles By Thomas Hardy
Phase the First: The Maiden 1) “‘Do you, do you? That’s the secret- that’s the secret! Now obey my orders, and take the message I’m going to charge ‘ee ei’… Well, Fred, I don’t mind telling you that the secret is that I’m one of a noble race- it has been just found out by me this present afternoon, P.M.’ (14).”
-Here Hardy shows that Jon Durbeyfield is very susceptible to anything. He believes in everything that people tell him with out doing his research to see if his so called lineage is even true. By John acting so superior toward other people, by saying “obey my orders” he is letting the reader know that every time that he may seem ahead in life he acts superior to others; maybe that this is how Hardy will portray other characters …show more content…
Hardy is foreshadowing that even though Angel is leaving, he’s going to come back for her. And he’ll love her and see beyond her past.
3) “‘Heaven bless and keep you sir. Good-bye (319)!”
-Hardy is saying that “bless” would mean that he had finally realized that he knows and forgives Tess for her past that she had no control of. This is a major character development for Angel because Hardy makes it known to the reader that Angel and surpassed his superficial lifestyle and just accepts Tess for who she is and not who she was. Because he realizes that Tess is who she is after her difficult past.
Phase the Sixth: The Convert
1) “For hours nothing relieved the joyless monotony of things. Then, far beyond the ploughing-teams, a black speck was seen. It had come form the corner of a fence, where there was a gap and its tendency was up the incline, towards the swede-cutters …show more content…
And the d'Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing (464).”
-Hardy is referring to the last attachment that the wretched d’Urbervilles had to anyone, because in retrospect, Tess was a part of the d’Urberville family because she bared a child with Alec d’Urberville. So, what Hardy was saying to the reader, that centuries have gone by and all that has happened with the d’Urberville family will not be known to their ancestors and Hardy wants the readers to see that what could have been a continuing family line with Tess, had ended with Tess.
2) “A few instants passed, and he found that Tess was gone. His face grew colder and more shrunken as he stood concentrated on the moment, and a minute or two after he found himself in the street, walking along he did not know whither (443).”
-This is when Angel is with Tess and she tells him to go away. Hardy uses the phrase “Tess was gone” and this makes me to presume that she’s going to be more than “gone” as in mentally gone form one another. Hardy leads us to believe that something is going to lead her to be gone gone as in dead and we can foreshadow this by the use of Hardy’s sadden tone
