Tom Jones Book Ten Quote Notes

“Reader, it is impossible we should know what sort of person thou wilt be…”(Pg. 337). First off, Fielding’s referring to himself as we is quite intriguing. Truly he has multiple personalities. Secondly, the hardest task of a writer is determining how to write to the goal audience; this is even harder when you are not of the group you are writing to.

“Susan related the whole story, which the reader knows already”(Pg. 343). Fielding is a kind author in that he does not go over what he has already said. Most often, this would bore the reader. Sometimes, mental refreshments help the reader maintain the whole complicated story in his mind.


“The Landlady fell severely on her head”(Pg. 349). Most fortunate souls do not fall on their head severely, and for the unfortunate soul who does, this might be the last act before they depart from this present world. A fear of the elderly is that they will fall; this causes them to sign up for services where they wear a wristband that allows them to alert help.

“I spoke on your account more than my own”(Pg. 352). This reminds me of a lawyer whose job is to defend the actions of others. An interesting case arises when a lawyer breaks the law; do they represent themselves or do they get a lawyer? In childhood, the good little kid will sometimes stake their honor to protect the actions of a naughty kid.
