中文摘要:安吉尔·克莱是托马斯·.哈代笔下众多男性角色中的其中一个，他是苔丝的丈夫，他虽然深爱着苔丝，却也是将苔丝推入深渊的一个原因。在他身上看到了光辉却也看到了软弱的阴暗面。
根据众多学者研究得出，安吉尔象征着基督教的伪善，而对于之前学者的研究本人还认为圣经带有浓厚的父权思想色彩，圣经被奉为当时的规章制度，其中显示了当时女性受父权思想压迫的真实状况，苔丝的悲剧正是当时父权思想下的产物。苔私的悲剧不但是哈代对宗教的控诉，更是对当时父权思想的不满。
本文指出男女不平等的根本原因不是由两性之间的生理差异决定的,而是由两性的社会性别差异造成的，根源在于男性中心主义的父权思想。本文对安吉尔的人物性格进行举例分析，分析他对苔丝悲剧命运的影响。
