Tess of the D'Urbervilles tells the story of Tess, who is sent to work as a servant on a poultry farm after her family struggles financially. The letter informing Tess's mother of the job offers comfortable lodging and liberal wages if Tess proves useful in managing the farm. In 19th century England, domestic service provided vast employment, primarily for young single women. As a servant against her will, Tess feels hurt, disowned, scared, forced, betrayed, powerless, defenseless, unloved, and used.
