Quotes from Tess of the d'Urbervilles

These are quotes that I feel particularly express the significance of the novel.

1. "Thus, the thing began. Had she perceived this meeting's import she might have asked why she was doomed to be seen and coveted that day by the wrong man, and not by some other man, the right and desired one in all respects..." Chapter 5

2. "Remember, my lady, I was your master once! I will be your master again. If you are any man's wife you are mine!" -Alec d'Urberville, Chapter 47
