I believe that Fielding's purpose in writing this novel was purely to entertain. He also added stabs at the class society in medieval England. He wrote this novel to inspire hope in the people of his time. He wanted them to go for their dreams and never to give up hope. But most of all this was for entertainment. Humans like to see lives that are in more turmoil than their own. This is why we have soap operas on television today.

He achieves this by using characters that seem to be imaginable. He puts these characters in amazing situations. When the reader believes that they have something pinned he puts in another twist that sends your senses spiraling. A specific instance in the novel is when the reader finds out that Mrs. Waters is actually Jenny Jones who is Tom's mother. He sleeps with

Deborah Wilkins - The waiting-woman to Bridget and a self-styled maid of the squire's house and has a deep moral upbringing.

Squire Allworthy - A wealthy and wise landowner, magistrate, and philanthropist living in Somersetshire, England

Mr. Thwackum - He is a tutor brought in to teach Blifil and Tom. He love to disipline with the whip.
