This article, through considering the main images of Christian feminism: sin, salvation and Eve, analyses Thomas Hardy's portrayal of his female protagonist, Tess, in Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891). It is significant that through the portrayal of Tess, Hardy conveys the same images of females as the Evangelicals do. The way Hardy portrays Tess does not pave way for any changes in the unfortunate position of the female protagonist in Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Through reading this article, a reader will discover more about the prevailing notions during that time and also about the way Hardy portrays Tess as a typical woman in the Victorian society, who is directly under the control of the existing notions in that patriarchal society. The notions of 'angel in the house' or the 'relative creature' make Tess a direct example of a typical woman in Victorian society, whose destiny and life are under the direct control of the male characters in her life. As these concepts of womanhood stress Tess�s purity and selflessness, her sins become very significant through the story, and the way she is compared to Eve as a temptress emphasises her sinfulness. She is also portrayed as the character that needs salvation more than any other characters in the story, but ironically there is no salvation and way up for her and she sinks to her tragic death. Considering the main tenets of Christian feminism in Tess of the D'Urbervilles suggests that Hardy's portrayal of Tess is not different from the Evangelical notions of his time and does not champion women's disadvantaged status.
