Ecofeminist examination of audio-visual and textual narratives is the central concern of this article. At the core of my study is a comparative analysis of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891) and its movie adaptation by Roman Polanski (1979), with an aim to explore convergent and divergent ecofeminist imperatives. I argue that the novel highlights the intersection between the oppression of women and exploitation of nature. By contrast, the movie adopts an ambiguous stance that undermines the potential of an ethical ecofeminist critique. This is clearly reflected through scenes that represent the encounter between Alec and Tess as a pastoral romance taking place against the backdrop of nature, that ultimately serve to cast their association as the result of natural instinct rather than a crime. This reworking of the novel seems to suggest that the movie’s thrust as a whole is towards exonerating Alec, which undermines the novels’ ecofeminist overtones.

Law and Interdisciplinary research (“Law-and”) has flourished since the 1960s. “Law and literature” is an academic movement under such a background in the United States. The author uses Tomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Lu Xun's The New-Year Sacrifice to analyze and compare the legal system in British Victorian and Chinese semi-feudal and semi-colonial society, and explores the root causes of the tragic fate of Tess and Xianglin’s Wife. Meanwhile, the paper reveals the predicament of women in the East and West around the 20th century.
