Biography, Autobiography and Pseudobiography in the Long Eighteenth Century

What I found particularly odd about Wild’s character was his passion for women, like Laetitia Snap, Book I chapter 9, and Mrs. Heartfree, Book II chapter X, which is described as “violent.” While I read Jonathan’s character as one who is greedy to the point where he robs the memebers of his gang for the share which they receive for doing the dirty work, I can’t quite get a handle on why Fielding would attribute to Wild the quality of an overtly eager lover. Is it to reiterate Wild’s insatiable greed or to further the analogy between Wild the Great and historical figures such as Alexander, suggestign that great man are irresitable and take what they want?
While in “An essay on the knowledge of the character of man” Fielding refuses to discuss women as he considers such to be a scientific endeavor, the female characters in Jonathan Wild are depicted as far more cunning and successful in the art of theft than the hero himself. The first example is Wild’s mother who while carrying him in her womb had the craving to possess “every thing she saw; nor could be satified with her Wish unless she injoyed it clandestinely”(Book I, chapter III). By including this detail, isn’t Fielding passing a judgement on women as preoccupied with the acquisition of goods for the sake of satifing a whim, as well as, in Mrs. Wild’s case, women as mothers setting an example and/or passing on thievery to their children?
The two other women, Laetitia and Mrs. Heartfree are quite the apt thieves of me’s hearts or minds. While the former skillfully juggles three men at a time, the latter possess the ability to talk heself out of compromising situations or simply drink her admirers under the table. Maybe Fielding’s wit went over the top of my head, but it seemed as if the author was suggesting, throught the depiction of the female characters, that women, all women, be they virtuous or not, possess an inborn propensity for deception and thievery.
