"Tom Jones: De lotgevallen van een vondeling" by Henry Fielding is a novel written in the early 18th century. The story begins with the birth of the protagonist, Tom Jones, a foundling, hinting at themes of destiny, societal judgment, and the complexities of human nature. The novel is set in England and paints a vivid picture of the social landscape through various characters and their interactions. At the start of "Tom Jones," the narrator introduces the reader to Mr. Allworthy, a benevolent landowner who discovers a foundling, Tom Jones, in his bed. As Allworthy decides to take care of the child, initial insights into the characters around him are provided, including his sister, Miss Brigitta, who embodies moral virtue. The opening chapters establish an intricate social backdrop where the contrast between virtue and vice is explored through the ensuing dialogue and the actions of the characters, particularly focusing on issues surrounding legitimacy and societal perception. Fielding intricately weaves humor and satire throughout the narrative as he sets the scene for a journey filled with moral dilemmas and the pursuit of goodness amidst human folly.
