Tess of the D'Urbervilles?

Question

What was ironic about the book? Anything? I personally don't think so but there has to be something....does anyone who has read it know of any dramatic, situational, or literal irony in the book? Thanks.

Answer 1

ironic...

probably the innocence of the murderess...

In any normal storyline, the murderer or murderess is general less innocent than his or her victims.
