What does this quote from Tess of the D'urbervilles mean?

Well I take it to mean that the "president of the Immortals" is God and like a Greek tragedy the Gods have been playing with Tess (in the way that she was suddenly thrown from being a simple country girl into one with a heritage) and now (since she died) they stopped and that despite the role her ancestors had on her life, they were actually of no importance whatsoever and their past existence hadn't helped her at all - no more use than the lumps of stone that they are. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
