The book turns out quickly a great novel of the “comic
epic in prose”
whose subject is “the true ridiculous” in human nature, exposed in all its variety as Joseph and the amiable Quixote.

In Joseph Andrews,Fielding the author, magistrate, and moralist refuses to accept much
of what he sees around him; in Book III, he states that his purpose is "to hold the glass to thousands in their closets, that they may contemplate their deformity, and endeavor to reduce it." But just as Fielding excludes the burlesque, which makes up the entirety of Shamela,from his "sentiments and characters".

![in Joseph Andrews, so too does he progress beyond a](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/284767/slide-28.jpg)
in Joseph Andrews, so too does he progress beyond a mere criticism
of the "ridiculous" to a positive statement and portrayal of the values in which he believed. We find that we are no longer merely laughing at people and situations, but also laughing with them; we are taking delight, rather than laughing in scorn. Our sense of delight at the close of Joseph Andrews is in no sense destructive, but represents one of the many aspects of this book which can be considered under such headings as form, characterization, style, and moral tone

![Fielding takes his characters through a series of confusing episodes,](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/284767/slide-29.jpg)
Fielding takes his characters through a series of confusing episodes, finally
aligning them with their correct partners in an improved social setting, from which the most recalcitrant characters are excluded; the characters, for the most part, have all measured and achieved a greater degree of self-knowledge. Thus the marriage of Fanny to a more experienced Joseph takes place in an ideal setting — the country — and is facilitated by the generosity of an enlightened Mr. Booby. Lady Booby, unchanged and unreformed, returns to London, excluding herself from the society which Fielding has reshaped.

![It is often the business of comedy to correct excess,](/_ipx/f_webp&q_80&fit_contain&s_1440x1080/imagesDir/jpg/284767/slide-30.jpg)
It is often the business of comedy to correct excess, and
Fielding has not spared the devious practices of a lawyer Scout, or the boorish greed of a Parson Trulliber. But his comedy includes a sense of delight, and the order into which he molds Joseph Andrews is a positive affirmation of the qualities of love, charity, and sincerity, expressed by Adams, Joseph, and Fanny.
