Tom Jones What is the main conflict in Tom Jones by Henry Fielding? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 02:49 Last updated by Jill W on 19 Nov 20:39
The novel's main conflict is the inability of Tom to marry Sophia because of their difference in class. Tom is exposed as a bastard child.... a foundling. In Sophia's father's eyes, Tom is not an acceptable match for his daughter.
