Themes of Joseph Andrews and Modern Times
Themes of Joseph Andrews and Modern Times
Janet and I are both English majors. While my personal concentration is not type-specific, I enjoyed examining the theme of Joseph Andrews. I enjoyed elaborating on them and making them reader friendly below. However, Janet has a concentration in film. All semester she has been enthusiastic about her film courses and what she has learned. Our page below combines our love of English and Janet’s personal conviction to film.
Recurring Themes in Joseph Andrews
Reality versus Appearance: What should be considered evidence?
Throughout the novel, Joseph Andrews and the other characters struggle with the idea of how exactly they know what they know. The line between face and fiction becomes very blurred, making the two seemingly interchangeable.
Examples:
The Story of Lennard and Paul
Who knows what is best for Joseph Andrews- a surgeon or a clergyman?
The truth behind the thief’s escape
Parson Adams cannot understand Latin?
Histories versus Biographies
Mr. Wilson’s version of his own life
Vanity: How damaging are the effects of pride?
Parson Adams particularly exhibits vanity throughout the novel. It is demonstrated through his belief of his extension amount of knowledge. It is by this knowledge that he judges others, and is judged.
Examples:
The surgeon versus the clergyman can also be seen as an example of vanity in Chapter 16 of Book 1. Both men are see themselves as knowing what is best for Joseph Andrews. They are vain and cannot see past their own reflection.
Adams believes that he is superior to those that lack his knowledge, especially in Chapter 17 of Book 2. He advocates reading and learning as the necessities of life, while in the end his words are thrown back in his face by the in-keeper. The in-keeper states that the one thing that can be told about a man by his face is whether or not he has small pox.

In Chapter 2 of Book 3, Adams is tested by Mr. Wilson on his knowledge of the classics. Like other prior instances, this only adds to Adams’ inflated ego when he passes Mr. Wilson’s test. Not only does Adams pass, but he also impresses.
Only the very best for Adams! In Chapter 5 of Book 3, Adams expresses his preference of private education. When Joseph Andrews disputes the need for tutors, Adams becomes quite defensive due to his vanity.
Adams is completely vain concerning his sermon on vanity.
Chastity: Important or not?
Joseph Andrews is so eager to marry Fanny, but is love the sole reason or is he looking forward to the consummation?
Examples:
Is chastity necessary or is it simple a blurred, secretive line? Book 1 ends with the maid, Betty, caught in bed with a married man. The man simple remarks that his wife will remind him of the affair every single day. Seems like the consequences of the affair are merely an annoyance.
It is made known in primary introductions and throughout the novel that Joseph is Fanny’s “true love”. True love is supposed to change a person entirely and shake one’s core. True Love? Really?
In the nude Joseph Andrews in not allowed in the carriage. I suppose chastity is somewhat important since it was so utterly inappropriate for a man without clothing to be in the presence of women.
Joseph and Fanny are related? Good thing they waited.
Mrs. Slipslop’s “rape”
Joseph finds Parson in bed with Fanny. Horrifying, though nothing happened!
Throughout the novel, Fanny wants to for marriage to be intimate with Joseph. It is important to her, therefore it is important to him. However, is this sincere?
