Jospeh Andrews
Joseph Andrews Joseph Andrews is a novel written in the middle eighteenth century by Henry Fielding. In this novel, Fielding talks of human nature and of the need for control of sexuality. He does not just come right out and say it, but instead expresses his concern through examples of the constant sexual advances through the entire novel, Mr. Wilson’s experiences, and the little self control people have in containing themselves properly.

If it wasn’t for Abraham Adams, Fanny might have been raped by the man who was accompanying her to London. The next show of a sexual advance on Fanny was made by a Squire that they had encountered after leaving Mr. Wilson’s house. Since the Squire’s dogs had attacked Adams, he defended himself by hitting them with his cane. When the Squire arrived, and saw the bruises on his dogs, he would have probably had Joseph and Adams indicted had he not seen Fanny. He invited all of them to dinner at his estate, trying to get Joseph and Parson Adams drunk, so he and Fanny could spend some time alone, but Parson Adams leaves with Joseph and Fanny, disgusted at the Squire. He sends his three of his men to go... Please login to view comments from other users.
