Tom Jones and Morality The two hundredth anniversary of Henry Fielding is very justly celebrated‚ even if‚ as far as can be discovered‚ it is only celebrated by the newspapers. It would be too much to expect that any such merely chronological incident should induce the people who write about Fielding to read him; this kind of neglect is only another name for glory.

Tom Joad is a great example of the phrase “when life gives you lemons‚ make lemonade” His view on life is to live for the moment and not waste the time he has with regrets.
