Tess of the D'Urbervilles

I didn't give this a 5 stars simply because I think Tess can be less silly to fall into the traps, didn't she? It's gotten me very frustrated to see her being “won” by Alec again and again. It is simply a preventable mess, in my opinion. And surely, we mustn't blame an unsophisticated woman for all faults being laid upon her. But as I said, she could've gone away without undergoing so many troubles especially when she recognised what a man Alec was.
