Fielding’s declared aim was to tear the veil off pose and expose it to ridicule, that is that the true supply of laughter. Humour, naturally, occupies a crucial place in Fielding’s idea of novel. witticism has AN equally vital role, for it's to strip the mask off the ills of society, holds up a mirror to human folly and corrects folks of their vanities and hypocrisy.
In his Preface to “Joseph Andrews", Fielding concludes that pose is that the supply of the ridiculous, springing from vainness or hypocrisy. Fielding intends to laugh humans out of its follies and foibles. Fielding, thus, employs ironical and satiric humour in many places. however he doesn't confine himself to those 2 varieties. primarily a comic book genius, he usually indulges in alternative varieties of humour, among that pure fun is incredibly common.
Joseph Andrews encompasses a massive form of humour. Farce isn't excluded. many humorous things like the fight scene at the hostel, Joseph falling from his horse and symptom his knee, Joseph sitting by the hearth whereas the hostess of the hostel rubbing his knee, minister Adams during a pan of hog’s blood, the hounds of the Squire tearing at minister Adams’ vestment, Mrs. tow-wouse discovering Betty in Tow-wouse’s bed, the bed-room scene in Booby Hall, Didapper misinterpretation the area and getting into Mrs. Slipslop’s space and Adams misinterpretation Didapper for the distressed girl and obtaining hold of Mrs. Slipslop because the wrongdoer, punching her remorselessly until girl Booby arrives on the scene with a lighted-candle. Adam’s taking a wrong flip in Fanny’s bed and goes to sleep; of these scenes ar humorous .
