[: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, gentleman is about the life of the

fictional character, Tristram Shandy. This is a psychological novel, in which Tristam

Shandy is the narrator. The Book is divided into 9 volumes by Laurence Sterne,

which is published between 1759-1767. This is a piece of 18th-century writing but still

to readers, it feels like a postmodern literature. This novel has problems with

communication as all the character of the novel are unable to communicate each other

properly.

From the beginning of the novel, Tristram was very upset because of the interruption of

his mother during his conception by asking a question to his father that he had

remembered to wind the clock. Because Tristram believed that the moment of one’s

conception matters the most, it nurtures the mind, body, and character of the child.

Later Tristram introduces the reader to the other character of the novel like his family,

his father Walter Shandy, and his uncle Toby Shandy. He presented the stories of

his family history, his uncle Toby’s affection for military fortifications in a disjointed

manner. He talked about his Uncle Toby’s groin injury.

Then the day of his birth come, his father and uncle Toby were chatting in the living

room. Finally, Susannah came to inform them, that Mrs. Shandy is about to deliver

the child, Susannah calls the midwife, she arrives but to be extra sure Walter Shandy

send Obadiah to call Dr. Slop. But the doctor did not bring his medicine bag, then;

Obadiah brings the bag as Walter asks him to do so. Then both Toby and Mr. Shandy

begin their conversation. Then, Tristram born and various disasters begin, Dr. Slop cuts

Toby's skin during practice then he cuts his thumb accidentally, Susannah cuts her arm,

the midwife falls on the floor; and eventually, Dr. Slop breaks Tristram’s nose and then

he makes a new nose bridge.

Then Tristram tells the story of Hafen Slawkenbergius, a fictional character’s tale, who

has a large nose. When his father was thinking the name of the newborn child, Susannah

came to him and tell that the child may not live and he needs to be baptized. Walter tells

her that the child's name is 'Trismegistus', but Susannah forgets the name

and Yorick thought that she was trying to say "Tristram." Later his father asks Didius,

church lawyer that if he can rename the child but the lawyer denied, and then they have

to keep the name. Mr. Shandy wants to give the money, which he inherited as a legacy

from Aunt Dinah to Bobby, his elder son for his Europe’s trip but then he receives news

that Bobby is dead. His father, Walter was very stunned by Bobby’s death but then he
: scious about Tristram’s education and he started writing Tristram paedia in which he stated, how to teach his young child. But then he did not pay

attention and ignore Tristram's education because he was busy in writing the book.

Later, Tristram had to face an accidental circumcision. After his circumcision, he was

crying in pain while everyone was thinking what to do. Mr. Shandy was concerned

about his education and was looking for a tutor. He asked Toby, and Toby suggested Le

Fever's son, Billy. Tristram then tells the tale of Le Fever's death and how Toby became

the guardian of Billy Le Fever. He then tells the story of Toby’s love affair with his

neighbor, Widow Wadham.

Then Tristram begins his journey to Europe as he was concerned about his health. He

traveled the whole France for his health reasons. When he was in Southern France he

feels safe and was not feeling any need to run for death. He did not talk much about his

trip but only tell the reader how he feels there and his dance with Nanette, village girl.

In last, Tristram tells the reader about the love of Widow Wadman for Toby Shandy
when he stayed at her house for a few days and she falls in love with him, but Toby was
unknown of her love. But when Toby came to know, he tried to win her and Walter
helped him in this act, he tells him how to deal with ladies. When Toby and Trim arrive
at Wadman's house, they had a little conversation. There Trim wins the heart of
Widow's servant, Bridgett. Later, Toby came to know that she was worried about his
groin injury and then Toby assured her that nothing has happened to him by letting her
see and touch. But Toby became upset when he came to know that she is marrying him
just to fulfill her sexual desire and not because of love. Then, he wants to talk to Walter,
but Obadiah interrupted and complaint about Mr. Shandy's impotent bull.
