Satirical Humor:
Fielding does not indulge much in satirical humour. But whatever satire
is employed by him is very different in tone from the stem and scathing satire
of Swift. And Fielding makes his satirical humour against groups and classes,
person and doctors, beaus and booby, wailing maids and fine ladies, methodist
and Jacobite.Secondly he produces satirical humor at the cost of the manners
and morals of the contemporary society in general and even humanity at large.Mrs. Waters meets with Allworthy and explains that Fitzpatrick is still alive, and has admitted to start the fight.
