George Moore certainly does not rise to the top of the list of inspired writers. He is neither as descriptive nor as elegant a writer as Thomas Hardy; the telling of his tale suffers as a result. As an example, the rape scene in Tess is written with such sublime inspiration as to leave the reader in awe of the act. Moore manages to pass over the deed in a few quick sentences. Further, although Moore talks of Esther's time in the workhouse, he never adequately describes the horrors of the place. The reader can be forgiven for thinking that the hell of these workhouses was not all that bad.
The most striking difference between these two novels comes at the end. In Tess we are confronted with the image of Tess at the end of the hangman's noose after murdering her assailant, but Moore takes Ester to a completely different place. We see her at the end of the book with her former and current employer, Mrs. Barfield, working as a maid at Woodview where the story began. The closing scene is of Esther's son, Jack, coming to visit and embracing his mother. it comes as the fitting end for a woman who had endured such privation but showered such love on her son, Jack, in order to raise him. She is rewarded with his love as he embarks on his own adult life. In this way Esther is triumphant, almost redeemed. As such, George Moore's novel can be read as an uplifting book expounding the virtues of hard work and sacrifice in the service of familial devotion.… (meer)
