Quote 8. To see a woman you love in distress; to be unable to relieve her, and at the same time to reflect that you have brought her into this situation, is, perhaps, a curse of which no imagination can represent the horrors to those who have not felt it. Meaning. Here, the Man of the Hill considers the great pressure he felt upon fleeing with a woman he lacked the means to support. The idea forces Tom Jones to contemplate his own future with Sophia, should they face poverty when their union is rejected by both families. What is implicit in this statement is the idea that we must be aware of our responsibilities to one another in order to find true happiness. Tom cannot simply run away with Sophia - he must be aware of what the consequences could be.
