Obviously you can't help but feel sorry her - some truly awful things fall upon her - however I don't think I felt as sympathetic towards her as many other people have and will. I found her weak and irritating, wondering why she could never just take control of a situation, stand up for what she believed in or do something for herself. By the end of the book I felt like I could really relate to her and understand her, however at the start of the book I felt very differently. Tess Durbeyfield is the main character in the book and you see her grow as a person over several years. Tess of the D'urbervilles is an epic tale telling the tragic life of Tess Durbeyfield and her disasters in love, her tear-wrenching experiences with death and her painstaking efforts to grow into a 'proper' woman.
