Her grandmother is constantly faced with racism and because of that she has learned that dignity is more valuable than anything. For example, when Momma has the courage to confront a white man regarding Marguerite’s horrible toothache and then being rejected right in front of her granddaughter without acting viscously is very hard to do. Although Marguerite is too young to comprehend what is going on, she still knows that Momma can take care of herself because she is such a strong woman.

How does Hardy present Tess in Chapter 2? One way in which Hardy presents Tess in chapter two is that Tess is very proud of her family. Tess believes that her family is somewhat superior to the other families in her village. When her friends begin to mock her father for his foolishness she quickly snaps back at them. “Look here; I won’t talk another inch with ye, if you say any jokes about him!” Tess clearly honors her family as she has threatened not to talk to her friends again if they mock her father any longer.

Jacobs knew that her contemporaries would see her not as a virtuous woman but as a fallen one and would be shocked by her relationship with Sawyer and the illegitimate children it produced. In spite of her embarrassment, Jacobs insisted on telling her story honestly and completely, determined to make white Americans aware of the sexual victimization that slave women commonly faced and to dramatize the fact that they often had no choice but to surrender their virtue.
