Quote #4
Rage and lust pulled her heart, as with two strings, two different ways; one moment she thought of stabbing Joseph, the next, of taking him in her arms, and devouring him with kisses. (1.18.10)
Let's hope she doesn't do either. You may have heard that love and hate are two sides of the same coin: most people probably have at least one ex they just can't stand to see anymore. Joseph might be in more danger than he realizes.
Quote #5
[…] he desired her to stop, and after some rude kisses, which she resisted, and some entreaties, which she rejected, he laid violent hands on her […]. (2.9.5)
The creepy difference between the women who lust for Joseph and the men who lust for Fanny is that Fanny is subject to these kinds of attacks throughout the book. Also, while Joseph escapes the clutches of the novel's lusty ladies pretty easily, Fanny is in constant danger from men who want to take her by force.
Quote #6
[…] and indeed, reader, if thou art of an amorous hue, I advise thee to skip over the next paragraph […]. (2.12.2)
Fielding is basically suggesting that his readers are already starting to lust over Fanny. Way to appeal to your audience, buddy. Anyway, sounds like he expected most of his readers to be men… which was pretty much the case back in the eighteenth century.
