Abstract
Often the setting of a novel can be looked at as a minor portion of a work. However, with Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles 1892 landscapes seem to be close to the main character, Tess. The story is about a teenage girl who experiences life in six different places; Marlott, Trantridge, Talbothays, Wellbridge, Flintcomb-Ash and Stonehenge. Each location shows a phase in her life and has a great impact on her in different ways. They allow the reader to understand her feeling and emotions at the time. This research examines Hardy’s use of setting and its reflection on the main character in order to show how the two are related together.
