Joseph Andrews Lust Quotes

Joseph seems to be totally struggling with lust and sexuality here. Sure, he's just successfully resisted Lady Booby, but he has to write to his virtuous sister to make sure he doesn't slip. We'll also be real here: a girl's virginity was way more important than a guy's back then (some habits die hard), so there's supposed to be something kind of humorous about Joseph taking such serious advice from oh-so-virtuous Pamela.

Really, Joseph? We'll translate: Joseph is saying that he's so innocent he doesn't even know the difference between male and female. This lad may exaggerate too much, especially since he later writes a letter about the difficulty of resisting temptation to Pamela.

Betty is the third lady to make a play for Joseph. Sounds like it's a Florence Nightingale situation—she nurses him back to health and starts thinking he's pretty hot.
