Tom Jones
Which is true goodness: a clumsy but honest heart, or slick superficial hypocrisy?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I followed the rollicking adventures of Tom Jones, a foundling cast off and forever stirring up commotion, I found myself utterly charmed by his wayward yet warm humanity. Rather than the villains who pose as paragons of virtue while stabbing you in the back, Fielding uses impulsive, blunder-prone but good-hearted Tom to ask, with great satisfaction, what true virtue really is. Mocking rigid notions of morality, it is a buoyant and grand comic epic that unfurls a panorama of eighteenth-century English life.

"좋은 마음을 가진 사람은 다른 사람도 모두 그럴 것이라고 믿는 경향이 있다."
