"The Unfortunate Traveller, or The Life of Jack Wilton" by Thomas Nash is a novel that tells the story of Jack Wilton, an adventurous page during Henry VIII's reign, making it an early picaresque tale in English. It looks at big ideas like moving up in society and who we are as people through Jack’s wild experiences. Beginning with Jack in the middle of a military campaign, the story uses his sharp humor to point out the silly parts of court life and the odd characters he meets, like a dishonest innkeeper. It suggests a story packed with clever humor and unexpected turns as Jack figures out his place in a crazy world.
