"Joseph Andrews, Vol. 2" by Henry Fielding is a witty escapade set in the 1700s that follows the virtuous Joseph Andrews as he continues his journey to reunite with his sweetheart, Fanny, and his travel companion, Parson Adams, a kind-hearted, yet sometimes clueless, clergyman. The story uses humor and satire to poke fun at different parts of society, particularly the way some members of the clergy act, contrasting the eccentric Parson Trulliber, who is more interested in his farm than helping others, with the honest and simple Parson Adams, creating a humorous contrast between their self-serving and selfless natures, that highlights the strange and funny things people do.
