"Joseph Andrews, Vol. 2" by Henry Fielding is a novel written during the early 18th century. This work continues the comedic adventures of Joseph Andrews, a virtuous young servant with a heart full of love, as he navigates through various encounters and misfortunes while trying to reunite with his beloved, Fanny. The narrative blends social commentary and satire, focusing on themes of morality, integrity, and the contrasting behaviors of the clergy and laypeople. The opening portion sets the stage for the ongoing misadventures of Parson Adams and Joseph Andrews. It begins with Parson Adams' visit to an equally eccentric clergyman, Parson Trulliber, only to be mistaken for a hog trader. Their interactions reveal Trulliber's comic obsession with his farming duties and lack of true Christian charity, while Adams’ honest simplicity shines through. Ultimately, the tone captures both humor and critique of societal norms, contrasting Adams’ virtuous character against Trulliber’s self-interest, leading to further escapades as Adams seeks support for his traveling companions, highlighting the absurdities of the human condition.
