denied this kind of potential antipathy, leaded herself into deeper hardship. After Angel's return, he evoked her potential nature and she killed Alec. When Tess is arrested, her breathing is "like that of a lesser creature than a woman". Resistance developed from positive unconscious obscure state to the conscious active state. Tess who free herself from ignorance and Angel who abandoned the social prejudice become reconciled. At that time though Angel pressed Tess to escape, she was content to rest at Stonehenge and greeted those who come to arrest. She with the words "It is as it should be ...This happiness could not have lasted." Tess's last thorough resistance not only set a great setback to the world, conventions, but also gave herself a new life. "Stone, the rising sun and the praire were designed a new world beyond the era, history and ration by Hardy. Te ss seemed to walk out of the 19th century." 3.2 The inevitability of Tess's tragedy produced by indistinct equal thoughts Woman was Fate's most potent instrument for opposing Man's happiness. Closer to primitive feelings than man, woman was helpless in the hands of Fate and carries out Fate's work. In Tess's search for love, the motivating passion of her life, woman became an agent in her own destiny. It was great that Tess longed for social justice, but submission rooted in her character.
