of obstacles especially when the couple do not come from the same
social background. This did not only happen in the eighteenth
century. In the twentienth century a couple may still face the same
problems. Therefore, the writer of this thesis is curious to know the
conflicts, outer and internal conflicts experienced by the main
characters, Tom and Sophia in Henry Fielding's Tom Jones. In
analyzing the conflicts, the writer observes Tom and Sophia's
relationship with other characters since through their relationship,
the writer will understand whether they can get along socially or get
conflits. At the end of this thesis, she comes to a conclusion that a
love relationship of people from different social status will not be
free from conflicts. However, it does not mean that people should
not have a love relationship with partners from different social
backgrounds. Conversely, they should face and solve their
problems.
