Tess of the D'Urbervilles

Our impulses are too strong for our judgment sometimes.

A young Tess was the daughter of uneducated peasants with the surname of Durbeyfield. Her father had convinced himself that he is of nobility and related to the nearby wealthy D’Urbervilles. Misfortune strikes Tess and out of desperation to help her family, she visits the Lady D’Urberville in hope that she may provide Tess with some assistance. En route to meeting her, she instead meets Lady D’Urverville’s son, Alec D’Urberville.

Her romantic life takes on a tumultuous turn as Tess battles her affections for Alec and another man named Angel she had met at a local village dance.
