Summary "Tessin tarina" by Thomas Hardy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Tess Durbeyfield, a young woman from a poor family, who discovers she is a descendant of a noble lineage, which sets in motion a series of events that reveal the struggles of her life against the backdrop of societal expectations and personal tragedy. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to John Durbeyfield, Tess's father, who learns from a local vicar, Pastor Tringham, that his family is descended from the once-noble D'Urberville lineage. This revelation fills him with a sense of pride, prompting him to act outlandishly, which embarrasses Tess. Following this, Tess experiences a mixture of emotions as she prepares for a local festival and reflects on her family's situation, her own identity, and the unfair expectations placed upon her due to her heritage. The opening chapters establish Tess's character as innocent yet burdened by both her family's expectations and the societal ramifications of their newfound status.
