Answer:

Tom Jones is called an unheroic hero because he is a playboy with moral ethics that go against the society, but, Henry Fielding also shows Tom's character as heroic honest and kind-hearted. According to Walter Allen, Tom Jone's character undergoes a slow transition as he pursues wisdom and becomes more aware of what is right, as the story progresses.
Answer:
Walter Allen had called Tom Jones an "unheroic hero".
Explanation:
The titular figure of Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones is the protagonist of the novel. His lineage is unknown as he was taken under the wing of Allworthy, after being abandoned by his parents. He grows up to be a typical hero; handsome, bright, and with a great personality. But he titillates the hearts of many women and is a playboy. Despite his looseness with respect to his character, he has shown to be a morally upright person even at his own cost.
Tom Jones is thus the hero because he is the protagonist; but unheroic because he does not have all the characteristics of a typical hero.
