Quote 6. Comfort me...I shall be read, with honour, by those who never knew nor saw me, and whom I shall neither know nor see. Meaning. The narrator considers the possibility of achieving his own immortality through this text. Fielding was, of course, entirely justified in this assertion and clearly understood the longevity of his new style of writing. He avoids sounding too arrogant because of the novel's incessant wit and irony, which makes it possible to gently mock the narrator in this assertion as well.
