I started to see things differently, and in contrast to my previous struggles, these tiny occurrences were huge. I began learning to celebrate every small victory, from being able to take a breath without noticing the tightness in my chest, to craving the feeling of warm water on my shoulders. The quiet bounce of my foot when I listened to a good song assured me that my ability to feel emotion was in fact present.

In Fielding’s Joseph Andrews you see a variety of characters. They range from the shallow, vain and proud characters like Lady Booby and Mrs. Slipslop to the innocent, sincere, and virtuous like Joseph and Fanny.
