Everything that occurs to Tess, with the exception of meeting Angel, leads her into unfortunate circumstances, ultimately leading the readers to pity Tess and blame the society that perpetrated the crimes against her.
We initially sympathize with Tess because she is raped by Alec; a malevolent man takes advantage of her and commits a reprehensible crime. Further, Tess is ostracized from her community because of the baby she had as an unmarried girl. But because, in our eyes, Tess has not committed a crime, her isolation is all the more unjust. Later, Tess is left by her new husband because of the rape and subsequent child. As with the ostracism, we see that Tess is being punished for a crime that was committed against her, and she cannot escape the scorn of Victorian society. Besides further humiliations that Tess has to endure, her eventual death brings perhaps the most sympathy. She exacts her belated revenge against Alec, perhaps the only example of true justice in the novel. However, Tess' final punishment for murder is death. A reader might be relieved that Tess has transformed from the helpless girl into a vengeful arbitrator of justice, but societal justice has the last word, and Tess is hanged.
