Paper Summary:

The paper shows how the characters Tess in "Tess of the Duberville" by Thomas Hardy and Beatrice in "Rappaccini's Daughter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne are both victims of man's ego and immorality resulting in the loss of their innocence, dooming them to a tragic fate. Both stories revolve around the love of the women and their losing of this love, because of the immoral plans and actions of a third person.

From the Paper:

"Both books "Tess of the Duberville" and "Rappaccini's daughter" are written in the third person and contain even amounts of dialogue and description. Thomas Hardy has been more descriptive than Hawthorne has, while Hawthorne's work is more didactic.

"Tess of the Duberville is different from most other books as in this case the campaign of the protagonist begins with an event in her life which is generally treated as fatal and as the end. In this case, when the book ends, Tess is a superior human being in the eyes of the reader because she bounces back from this virtual finality to find true love."
