Tess of the d'urbervilles

From Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy, I would like to ask Alec d'Urberville and Angle Clare a question, "why you do that to Tess?" Tess is a good woman that she lived her suffering life caused by two men. As a young and innocent woman, her purity was destroyed by Alec d'Urberville. He did it as he does not care much at that time. Why you do that to her? She had to live her terrible life to stand the worse nightmare since then. It seem to her that she would better die instead of standing this embarrassment since the society at that time gave value to purity of the people before their marriage. Alec did not care much by the time Tess left the place. Again, I want to ask this question to Angel Clare who act as he could love no one except Tess. He steadily tried to ask Tess to be his wife. In this case, I also felt like that Tess should told him her past story before the marry be taken place. However, the morning after their marriage, he confessed to her that he did something wrong with 
one women while he was in London years ago.
