    The Character of Tom Jones in the Novel Tom Jones A character study always shows the good and evil side of a man. Here in this assignment I have to unfold the characteristics of Tom Jones- the protagonist of the novel Tom Jones. No man is without mistakes. But it is also true that totally corrupted person is rare. Here in this novel from a general esteem one can say that Tom is a playboy and has no moral ethic. But if one knows Fielding’s view of virtue then he is sure to uphold Tom’s character

    Joy Thompson Mrs. Larson AP British Literature and Composition December 11‚ 2011 Refusal to Return: Finding Bliss at Upton Although Tom Jones by Henry Fielding is appropriately known as a comic novel written to no set of absolute rules‚ the work shows many characteristics similar to epics.

    Tom Jones and Morality The two hundredth anniversary of Henry Fielding is very justly celebrated‚ even if‚ as far as can be discovered‚ it is only celebrated by the newspapers. It would be too much to expect that any such merely chronological incident should induce the people who write about Fielding to read him; this kind of neglect is only another name for glory. A great classic means a man whom one can praise without having read. This is not in itself wholly unjust; it merely implies a certain

    Tom Jones as ‘Comic Epic-Poem in Prose’ Maruf Billah Enjoying the freedom of an artist‚ Fielding in his ‘Tom Jones’ bursts on the literary scene giving thousands of hours for a kind of writing‚ which is in his own words‚ “I do not remember to have seen hitherto attempted in our language”. His immediate inspiration was the Spanish Classic‚ ‘Don Quixote’. However in discussing his work Fielding refers to Homer and Aristotle‚ the former for practice and the later for theory. This kind of appeal

    In Tom Jones‚ Fielding explores a myriad of characters and situations through the eyes of the main character.

    1. Marriage in Henry Fielding’s The History of Tom Jones‚ A Foundling‚ is a rather convoluted affair (no pun intended‚ although there were more affairs in marriage than there was fidelity in marriage). Marriages were undertaken (no funereal pun intended there‚ either) in Tom Jones for a variety of reasons. Marriages were undertaken for necessity‚ as in Bridgett’s baby being born eight months after her marriage to Blifel‚ and‚ yes‚ the customary time of pregnancy is nine months‚ which is particularly

    Moral Teaching in Fielding’s Tom Jones Abstract This essay aims to explore Henry Fielding’s art of moral teaching in The History of Tom Jones‚ a Foundling‚ as the author originally entitled it. In his writing‚ Fielding does not try to create utterly good or evil characters; instead‚ he simply depicts them as what they are. For example‚ he treats Tom Jones as a simple-minded human being who errs at times. The story‚ though treated in this way‚ is as a matter of fact written with a deliberate purpose
