Tartalmi kivonat:This thesis examines how society influences the females in Thomas Hardy's two novels: in Tess of the d'Urbervilles and The Woodlanders. I will demonstrate that both novels attack the strong double standard of sexual morality in the Victorian era. I will focus on how women suffer under pressure to conform to the expectations of the male - dominated society. With this thesis I will prove that Thomas Hardy blames society for his characters' tragedy.
