Sorry to miss you today. Annotate from p.187 - 217. Use the resources on OneNote and your own ideas.

Pay particular attention to Joan's letters. Joan's advice is unscrupulous and pragmatic but she has a clear effect on the plot here because Tess listens to her. Tess can shift the responsibility for not telling to her mum (we all do this!)
On p.207 look at Trantridge man as he will be important later.
On p.211 look at how Tess tries to confess. This is vital.
Note the heavy use of omens in the whole of Ch. 33. Focus is on the grotesque and anxiety and not the happiness of a wedding.
On p,217 - look at how Tess's ancestry rears its head - she is physically like the treacherous D'Urberville women. What does this foreshadow? Add to you list at back of the book.
We will start at p. 217 next week.
Don't forget the HW to start Phase 7th.
